The Suite Blog >> There's No Better Publicity Than a Progressive Jackpot

September 20, 2008 - One of the newest Microgaming software licensees, Rich Reels online casino, is already making news headlines having become the site of the latest Major Millions progressive jackpot. Just short of $1 million, the newsworthy jackpot was bagged by a player known as Ken C., who was playing the three-reel version of Major Millions.

With such an esteem lineup of online casino licensees under the Microgaming brand, to say this jackpot was a propitious occasion for Rich Reels is an understatement. Every online casino wants one of their player's to hit the next big progressive jackpot. Not only does this offer some great free publicity, the casino doesn't have to pay anything up.

Just like wide area progressive jackpots in land-based casinos, wagers are from multiple gambling destinations are contributed to a single networked jackpot that updates a cumulative value in real time. Progressive jackpots at online casinos are networked through the software providers - and Microgaming is definitely one of the largest licensees with the largest progressive jackpots on the internet.

It's easy to see why every betting site wants to be the site where the next big jackpot goes down. Newer online casinos can especially profit from a big progressive jackpot. Such was the case at Rich Reels, where a flux of new players have already started coming in.

Just take a look at the "Recent Winners" page at Rich Reels to see for yourself. Now, don't get me wrong - Rich Reels isn't brand spanking new. They are managed by the same team that operates Villento Casino, and therefore have many years of experience under their belts. The recent winners page itself spans back to 2007. Read our Rich Reels Casino Review for more details. OCS highly recommends them.
