| April 24th 2009 When it comes to the online casino industry it seems the recession is over. Such an impression is made when someone hits a six figure jackpot, and it seems that it’s happening all the time. Nearly every day some casino announces a big win, and some of them are really big. Take, for example, the last week there were 3 huge wins in different internet casinos.
Bodog Poker has recently announced the win. Drew C. from Texas won $127,000 playing the Let ‘Em Ride poker. He broke the six figure mark, and in February Scott T. hit it at $97,287. And another big jackpot of $120,358 on Caribbean Stud Poker is waiting for its winner at Bodog Casino.
Then Win A Day online casino was pleased to be able to give a big check of $148,724 to Monica68. While playing their Slot-O-Matic slot machine she managed to hit it this January. But just recently another lucky player, 123jaki brought home $159,660. The player said she was absolutely shocked when she won, and she thought first it was a mistake.
At the end, Royal Vegas casino had the hugest hit yet. Jean E. won $345,665. The Royal Vegas management says the game the lucky player was playing, CyberStud Poker, pays out about $275,000 as a rule, that’s why this was really a big hit. It pays out every 4 months on average and this jackpot happened to wait a lot before paying out really big.
The online casinos assert that it is a sign of future events. They say when such big payouts start it means there will be a run of big hits in the online gambling industry. Let’s hope they aren’t mistaken!
April 21st 2009 If you are aware of all that has been happened around the UIGEA (the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act), it won’t be unexpected for you to hear the last announcement of the EU about the US position in the online gambling world. The European Union inclined the United States to annul the ban; as this ban is the violation of WTO standards. They made the investigation regarding the ban but they hadn’t published its results officially until recently.
Now these results have been announced officially and though they are rather incriminating, this fact does not shock anyone. According to these results the USA break the World Trade Organization standards prosecuting and blocking foreign online casino gambling companies in their country. Besides, the report shows that US Department of Justice tries to pursue everyone who allows US citizens to play in foreign online casinos.
Congress knew that the report would be published. However all warnings was unnoticed by the Bush Administration, even understanding that the country would be in great trouble for such policy. So, now the US should decide how they go from this situation and if it will be possible to recover from the damage that the online casino industry has had. Before going and filing an official charge with the World Trade Organization, the European Union will try to discuss a settlement with the United States. They say that President Obama, by himself, will take part in the talks and show us all online casino gambling muddle.
April 19th 2009 We have already written that several online gambling software providers such as Cryptologic, Playtech and Microgaming closed their doors for the US players. Real Time Gaming and Rival casinos continue taking bets from US citizens.
One more software developer that gets the lion’s share of North American traffic and constantly builds up a large progressive jackpot network is Vegas Technology (aka Odds On).
Just recently, a single player won one of the larger jackpot wins at a Vegas Technology casino. The jackpot of over $225,000 was hit on Easter Sunday. Many people question the gambling on Easter, but for the lucky American player who hit the jackpot, to play slots on Easter was the greatest decision she could have made. The lucky winner named Jackie broke Mega Money Mine slot machine that weekend. Mega Money Mine is a classic slot with 3 reels and 1 payline. The slot is based on gold mine theme so this player could really mine gold.
The player, whose screen name was DallasWorks, said in the interview that she was highly amazed, especially taking into consideration the size of her winnings. It is more frequent to see jackpots of $50,000 or $80,000 being won. The jackpots of more than $200,000 are less common - and to be the winner of such a big jackpot is almost unbelievable.
The jackpot was won on Vegas Technology progressive jackpot network, it means that several casinos contribute to the same online jackpot.
You can play Mega Money Mine slot in Vegas Technology casinos including Millionaire, English Harbour, Golden casino.
April 15th 2009 All players of Lucky18Casino have been watching the jackpot meters carefully. There are three largest progressive jackpots, two of which are over a million and one with about a million, and several smaller jackpots. A total jackpot pool is almost $4 million, which is the biggest progressive jackpot money US players can find anywhere online.
The largest jackpot is Jackpot Piñatas with over $1.2 Million at a moment. The slot was launched in November, 2007 with an initial prize of $250,000, and within several weeks the slot jackpot of $273,914 was hit but since then nobody has managed to win it again.
Two other games - Aztec Millions and Shopping Spree with current jackpots of $1.1 Million and $940,000 respectively have never been hit.
While these huge jackpots are still waiting to be won, some of jackpots have just made several players a little wealthier. It’s Good to Be Bad $1 slot paid over $151,000 in the beginning of April and It’s Good to Be Bad 25p have just paid $88,000.
Robert Goldman, CEO of Lucky 18, said “Who knows when we will have a big winner. That is up to Lady Luck herself”. He added that they are glad that they have such big jackpots and one of them is sure to be won soon! But the next jackpot that will be won is sooner to be Caribbean Stud or Light Speed.
These two jackpots must be won according to statistics. An average Caribbean Stud Poker jackpot is hit every 15. Now it is the thirtieth day since it was won last. An average Light Speed jackpot is won every 123 days. And almost a year has gone later since the day when the previous jackpot has been won.
April 11th 2009 Microgaming, one of the largest and best known software development companies in the world’s, has broke online gambling industry records again. The progressive jackpot at Mega Moolah slot machine has recently stepped over an inconceivable $6 million mark.
Being one of the most popular and exciting online games with progressive jackpots, Mega Moolah is acquiring a reputation for making a person an instant millionaire. Thus, one lucky player won an incredible $5.6 million last April.
This player became the 13th millionaire in Microgaming’s family and crowds of other players have been rushing to Microgaming casinos to play Mega Moolah slot in the hope that the lady luck will smile on them and this game will bring them the life changing jackpot especially when they see the gigantic jackpot growing higher and higher every second!
But it is really impossible that it will be growing endlessly. It must come down and then this 5 reel, 25 payline Microgaming slot with wheel of fortune style progressive jackpot will bring luck to someone. So, there is a slim possibility for players to make their dreams come true and live a life of luxury. You may hit the jackpot by making just a $0,01 bet, but keep in mind that the higher your bet is the higher your chances to win are.
You can try your fortune playing this thrilling game at any Microgaming casino, for example All Slots, Sun Vegas, Villento casino, Jackpot City Casino and others.
