The latest big online
casino jackpot to be won comes from none other than via
the Playtech network. Striking at approximately $1.7
million, this jackpot is nothing to scoff at. It was
nabbed by a player going by the screen name of TengB at
the Asian-facing Mansion Casino. The game responsible
was the wildly popular and active Gold Rally video slot.
For anyone unfamiliar with
Gold Rally, as you might surmise from the name, it is
themed around the Wild West - and not just the cacti and
sagebrush. If you look at the track record of this
five-reel, eight-line machine, the part about finding
gold and getting rich is more relevant. According to
Playtech, who offers Gold Rally's progressive jackpot to
its large network online casino licensees, the game has
paid out over $33 million in winnings to date.
Another great thing about
Gold Rally is that it's available for download on
Playtech's mobile online casino platform (along with
other popular slots, video poker, blackjack and
roulette). This particular $1.7 million jackpot wasn't
won from a cell phone; However, that doesn't mean it
didn't have as equal a chance of doing so. Mobile gaming
is growing fast, and offers the same heightened
security, fairness and sharp graphics you would expect
from a PC, which still accounts for the the majority of
online gambling traffic, no matter the online casino
game being played.
Playtech online casinos
like Golden Palace (see our
Golden Palace Casino Review), offer players the
opportunity to play from both a PC and mobile phone
under the same account. All one has to do is go online
with each device, download the software, and login with
a username and password. Golden Palace also offers a
no-download Flash Casino and a stand-alone poker room,
which is partnered with Playtech's iPoker Network. And
guess what else? Golden Palace offers the Gold Rally
progressive video slot.
