Online Progressives

There is a large variety of progressive jackpot prize (PJP) games available online; due to the nature of these accumulative prize games, they are able to grow into the millions of pounds. Progressive jackpot prizes are not only restricted to fruit machine games, however, they are also a big feature in scratch cards, video poker, casino poker, roulette, blackjack and even baccarat games. Software developers are the primary source for these games, however certain groups, networks and individuals may have games specifically developed for their own sites. Obviously the more players able to feed into online progressives, the more they are able to grow; for example Microgamings' Mega Moolah fruit machine game.

The Microgaming PJP network is one of the largest, best paying and most well reputed in the industry. These operators have already paid out over £280,000,000 in online progressives. 7200 lucky players around the world have shared in this prize money and 14 millionaires have been made to date, some have been made multi-millionaires.

Mega Moolah, Major Millions, Roulette Royal, King Cashalot, Cyber Stud, Poker Ride, Tunnzamunni, Jackpot Deuces, Lotsaloot, Super Jax Poker and the WowPot fruit machine are only some examples of the Microgaming online progressives. Obviously Microgaming is not the only software developer to offer these types of games; they are just the developer with the most aggressive rollout of games and therefore one of the obvious choices for online casino operators to select as their platform. This software developer offers a choice of more than 450 different games including 43 versions of blackjack (could be more by now)!

Playtech is another online casino software developer and they also offer a good stable of online progressives. One of the favourites with fans is Gold Rally as this is a three reel slots PJP and these are few and far between. Playtech has a huge reputation in the industry too and Gold Rally may be played on the mobile platform also. Gunning for your progressive prize of choice from your mobile phone, means it is right at your fingertips whenever the urge come over you to play. Or if you want to be distracted while you are waiting your turn in the dentists rooms! Some Playtech games are also linked to the Dollar Ball, which is a large PJP and randomly pays out across various games, not only slots.

Another favourite PJP with UK players has to be the Virtue Fusion game Clover Rollover. This game starts off at a whopping £100 000 and grows; it is currently available at 22 UK specific sites, but most of these are bingo sites. Who cares what sites they are, this is a game anyone would want to play with its current £3.6 million in the prize pot. It is a five reel, five pay-line game so a maximum bets costs the player a fiver, this is good going for a game with such a large prize up for grabs? That is more than €4 million and nearly $6 million!!
