Mega Moolah Winner From Royal Vegas Online Casino

Mega Moolah Winner From Royal Vegas Online Casino

Added: April 22, 2015

At one point of time on April 9, the most popular Microgaming progressive jackpot was ticking at over 7.5 million credits. And then it fell to about 3.75 million credits. It was obvious that the progressive jackpot had been hit, but the question remained why it did not fall to its normal reset value of 1 million credits.

The explanation is something novel in the history of Mega Moolah. Mark A, the player who recorded the hit was from Royal Vegas online casino. This online casino allows players from Canada to wager in their currency of Canadian Dollars. Mark was playing in Canadian dollars when he hit the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot and was paid 7.5 million Canadian dollars. If the winner had been from Britain and had been wagering in pounds sterling then Microgaming would have had to pay 7.5 million pounds. Therefore the software provider saved a packet. Microgaming is known for its fairness and sensitivity to players’ interests. It therefore appropriately loaded the reset value and the progressive jackpot ticker is at over 4.2 million credits within two weeks of the hit. Normally it would take months to rise back to this level.

Mark was not a regular player at Royal Vegas online casino. In fact he had just signed up seven days before the massive hit. Online gamblers believe in beginner’s luck, but this is something awesome. Microgaming’s fairness was mentioned earlier. It is one of the few software providers that pays progressive jackpot amounts in one go. There have been accounts of players at other online casinos receiving progressive jackpot payouts in annuities or at discounted amounts. One of the senior VIP executive hosts of Royal Vegas online casino contacted Mark to confirm the win and to congratulate him on behalf of the entire staff. He said that Mark was elated at the win.

Mark was playing this progressive jackpot from his mobile device which was compatible with the HTML5 version of Mega Moolah. John Quinn, Head of Casino at Microgaming, said that the Mega Moolah jackpot is now being frequently hit from mobile casinos and this shows how prevalent mobile gaming has become. This was also the largest ever progressive jackpot payout by Microgaming from a mobile device.

Royal Vegas online casino is a brand of the Fortune Lounge group. It is powered by Microgaming and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority. It regularly produces winners on Mega Moolah from all over the world.
