King Cashalot Delivers Huge New Year's Eve Jackpot And Makes Another Millionaire.

Microgaming, the world's leading supplier of casino and poker software, announces its Progressive Jackpot Network has created another millionaire, after one lucky player scooped the huge jackpot on New Year's Eve.

Playing through Captain Cooks Casino (a member of CasinoRewards group), the player hit large US$1,745,475.28 jackpot on the King Cashalot Progressive slot machine. That's the third time someone has become an instant millionaire at CasinoRewards. As I write this article the King Cashalot Jackpot is creeping back up to $1 Million and new Mega Moolah progressive is already over!

Here is what the winner told about her great win:
"I was spinning on Crazy 80's Slot and I won $499 and I was all excited. I ran it up to $700 and decided to cash-in $500 and use the remaining $200 on King Cashalot. I saw three kings, then four, then five, oh my god, no way, my heart was beating right out of my chest. I sat there looking at it for 10 minutes, walked off from my computer and went back again and again. I showed my husband and he made me call the service centre because he did not believe me. He almost fell down the stairs! It was like a miracle! A guardian angel is looking out for me!"

The player becomes the 10th millionaire created by the progressive network (that handle progressive payouts for dozens of Microgaming online casinos) and ensures that Microgaming starts the New Year as it ended the last, on a high. In December the company announced that it had delivered on a promise to maintain the most aggressive roll out schedule in the industry, launching over 60 games in 2006.

The Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network has paid out over a record $220m since launch and looks set to create yet another millionaire soon - its newly launched Mega Moolah progressive is currently sitting at $1.1m.

Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "We are delighted that the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network has kicked the New Year off in style for one lucky player and in the process created our tenth millionaire. Over the last twelve months we have delivered on a promise to maintain the most aggressive games roll out schedule on the web - averaging over four new games per month, but to cap this with a million dollar payout through King Cashalot on New Year's Eve is really fantastic. The Microgaming Mega Moolah progressive is also sitting at over a million dollars, so this winner won't be the only one starting the New Year in the millionaire club."
