MICROGAMINGS JACKPOT NETWORK PAYS OUT RECORD-BREAKING $20 Million in Jackpots!!

January 25, 2001 - London.    
Microgaming has announced that Jackpot Madness, the Microgaming Jackpot Network portal (www.jackpotmadness.com), has exceeded a record-smashing $20,000,000 in total jackpot payouts. This unsurpassed landmark achievement decisively places Jackpot Madness as the world's number one online progressive jackpot destination.

The portal boasts 5 progressive jackpot games, the oldest and most popular being Cash Splash, which was introduced in October 1998. The game's popularity has boomed in the last two years and is now available at more than 60 online casinos. In the last two months alone, Cash Splash has paid out almost $2,800,000 to its internationally-located players.

Two additional progressive slot games, WowPot and LotsaLoot, were added to the portal last April and immediately became big hits, accumulating big jackpots and paying out a total of over $2.5 Million to date. These were followed in August by two more games, Supajax, a unique video poker progressive and Fruit Fiesta, a popular 50c progressive slot.
With thousands of people playing simultaneously across the entire Microgaming Jackpot Network, substantial jackpots are won on a daily basis.

On January 24 alone, 8 people won jackpots, breaking the record for the most people winning jackpots in online casinos in a single day. The most amount of money won on a single win is $171,893, which is the biggest jackpot ever won in an online casino. On an average, Microgamings progressives pay out daily jackpots in excess of $67,000 to a multitude of ecstatic players.
The Jackpot Madness portal is hugely successful and is drawing vast numbers of players to the over 60 casinos connected to the portal. It has contributed in no small measure to the record breaking achievement of $20 million in jackpot payouts in two years" said Lisa Wycherley, Senior VP of Operations at Microgaming Systems. Microgamings reputation as the recognized leader in the internet gaming arena is richly deserved, as the statistics show. We wont sit back on our laurels though. We are dedicated to providing new and innovative games and systems, which will remain at the forefront of the industry. At the same time recognition must be given to our casino operators. Without their enthusiastic support of our progressive games we would never have risen to the position of #1 in the field."
