Jackpot Mania’s US$1.00 progressive slot Rags to Riches has been won again, three days after breaking the world record for the largest online progressive jackpot. Progressive games offer fast-growing bonus jackpots that increase as more people play.
Rags to Riches was able to climb so quickly because it carries a US$100,000 reset value, meaning there is never less than US$100,000 ready to be won.
This time ‘stash,’ a player at InterCasino, a WagerLogic licensee powered by CryptoLogic software, won US$111,820.80 on September 8, 2001. InterCasino is among the oldest, largest and most trusted casinos on the Internet.
“It’s still hard to understand the magnitude of winning one hundred thousand dollars. I’m in shock nearly two days later! I don’t have any concrete plans, except to treat myself,” says ‘stash.’
On September 5, 2001, the world record for the largest online progressive jackpot was broken when Rags to Riches was hit for US$414,119 by ‘BOBO’, a player at The Sands of the Caribbean® Online Casino, also a WagerLogic licensee. ‘BOBO’ watched in amazement as his machine counted off at $600 per minute for almost 12 hours after his historic win.
Where jackpots on the Internet once only totaled in the hundreds and low thousands of dollars, the win at InterCasino is more proof that the latest generation of online super jackpots is causing the gaming world to take notice, and making believers out a growing list of winners.
“InterCasino is pleased to again award the largest online jackpots in the world,” says Ryan Hartley, Casino Manager of InterCasino. “We pay out thousands of dollars in prizes daily, and each time a super jackpot like this is won, it shows the Toto SGP online gaming community that InterCasino is the best bet for big prizes, fair odds, quick payouts, and of course, secure gaming.”
