Players win over £3 million on Microgaming Jackpots
The aim behind playing casino games is to have a bit of fun, play games and win prizes. Winning is an important part in gambling and every land based as well as online player has this objective in mind when they start playing any game at a casino. The New Year started off with a bang with not one but two online casino players winning huge progressive jackpots and taking home big prizes.
Online gaming software provider, Microgaming revealed that two lucky players have both won whopping cash prizes playing the Microgaming powered Progressive Jackpots within a week. The total winnings combined of these two lucky players is said to be over £3 million and this life changing amount has been won around the holiday period.
The first winner was from Britain, who had registered at Platinum Play Casino, powered by Microgaming, on 28th December 2011. This lucky female went on to win a whopping £1.97 million within ten days of registering her account. This is the biggest ever progressive win at Platinum Play Casino and the lucky winner couldn’t believe her luck.
The lucky lady plans to use her prize money to finance a holiday in Las Vegas and China or Nepal, as well as wishes to donate a part of her winnings to animal charities and opt for an early retirement. This awesome win seems to have completely changed her life.
The second winner was a Spin Palace Casino player who ended up with over £1.3 million playing Microgaming’s Major Millions Progressive jackpot. In this case too, the winner had opened his account just three days prior to the jackpot being hit. This second win came about within a week of the previous win by the British lady.
Unless other casino software providers, Microgaming powered Progressive Jackpots are paid out in a lump sum. Thus the winners benefit from receiving the amounts in full and can spend and enjoy their winnings immediately.
Great Blue Slot proves lucky again for Greek Player
Online casino players believe in many superstitions some of which are lucky days, lucky casinos, lucky games and lucky numbers. There is no proof whether those days, casinos, games or numbers are lucky or not but it seems like the Great Blue slot game is indeed lucky for one Greek player.
As per reports, a Greek player using the nickname ‘PP’ won over €200,000 playing the Great Blue slot game at Windows Casino in August. The lucky winner ended up with a staggering amount of €207,116 playing the five-reel, 20-payline slot game without the help of a progressive jackpot. What makes the win astounding is the player won this huge amount with the help of free spins bonus round.
PP’s balance was €1,500 when he entered the bonus round and he had the chance to win more as the game allows winning up to 33 free games with up to x15 multiplier. His balance increased to 4,000 and on to 6,000 in a single spin. He continued with the game increasing the bets to €100 and later to €200 per spin and then got lucky enough to enter another bonus round.
The lucky player’s balance reached €10,000 after which he won €155,680 in a single spin with a bet of €0 since he was still in the bonus round. It seems like the Great Blue slot game is lucky for player PP as he has won huge amounts playing the same game at other online casinos also.
PP has earlier won €125,000 in July playing the same game at King Solomons Casino. In fact, he has won big amounts on this game so many times that many have started to wonder where there isn’t anything amiss at the casino or with this player. Questions have been raised before about the authenticity of his wins and whether the same player can get lucky playing the same game so many times.
PP has previously won varying amounts with the Great Blue slot game earlier in April and in November last year. This latest win in August has proved that this game is indeed lucky for him even when playing at different online casinos.
