Progressive Jackpots to Look out for in September: RTG Casinos

When it comes to hunting down the largest online casino progressive jackpots, let's just say it can vary. In other words, while there are certain networks you can essentially count on offering cumulative jackpots in the hundreds of thousands and millions even, depending on who you ask or what website you turn to, the "real time feeds" of actual progressive jackpot tallies will vary. So, who's right? Well, that's anybody's guess. The one thing you can count on, however, are the winning jackpots that have actually been paid out (especially if you're on the receiving end). The big ones you can always count on are RTG and Rival Gaming (US facing) and Microgaming, Playtech and Cryptologic (Non US). The network to hit big most recently was RTG Casinos. Specifically, it was the Cleopatra's Gold video slot that paid out $254,910 to one lucky player near the end of August. Surprisingly enough, Cleopatra's Gold is not one of RTG's higher paying progressives - hardly ever growing in size to the likes of Jackpot Pinatas (now worth $1.5 million) and Shopping Spree/Midlife Crisis (nearing the $1 million mark). Cleopatra's  "random" jackpot, however, definitely has proven that it can get large and will pay off to the lucky player who bets the max bet and clicks the mouse at the exact millisecond needed to line up all five Cleopatra symbols. Whether or not you believe in the theory that progressive jackpots often hit in pairs (in short succession), or simply pay off once in a blue moon, the fact of the matter is that RTG's progressive jackpots are loaded right now. September will hopefully be a good month for jackpot hunters. On another note, if you want to know the exact jackpot figures at the previously mentioned software networks, simply open a free account at your favorite online casinos for each software platform. For example, sign in to Cherry Red Casino when you want to check the RTG tally, sign in to Superior Casino to see the totals of Rival Gaming's progressive network, log into All Slots when your curious to see what's going on with Microgaming, give a visit to Inter Casino if you want to tap into Cryptologic's network....you get the picture.
