Popularity of Progressive Slots Ascertained

An independent group of testers had assessed the popularity of most successful online slots with jackpot progressives. The amount of wagering on diverse gambling machines developed by different online casino software providers was tracked for five consecutive days. The highest amount of jackpot money was the criterion of choosing one or another slot machine for the test. In the end, six progressive jackpot games were selected, namely Mega Moolah by Microgaming, Beach Life by Playtech, MegaJackpots by Wagerworks and three RealTime Gaming slots with the highest progressives. Though other slot machines may have even a higher flow of customers, these ones offer the biggest jackpots available nowadays.

The progressive video slot from Playtech was the most successful one. During the trial period, Beach Life’s jackpot increased by an average of $25,000 a day, surpassing its nearest rival by more than a 100%. If the progressive jackpot prize continues to grow at the same rate of about 10% a day, it will be doubled, reaching an incredible $3 million sum in less than two months. The immense popularity of Beach Life is mostly due to the players’ expectations to win big. They are supported by the fact that the slot has awarded three prizes of more than a million dollars each during the last year and is currently approaching its average amount of money won. It means that the slot gives away millions on a regular basis and is about to hit really soon.
The second most popular progressive slot is Mega Moolah from Microgaming. Living up to its name, it offers the winner more than $2.3 million and the sum increases by about $12,000 on a daily basis. Though the prize pool of Mega Moolah is currently bigger than that of Beach Life, it is less popular among the players. The growth of its jackpot is almost twice slower in absolute numbers and four times in relation to its available prize. However, it is still much higher than the daily jackpot increase of MegaJackpots.

The highest-winning progressive slot from WagerWorks receives about 2000 G.B. pounds a day, which is almost 4 times less than the second competitor does. In spite of its record jackpot of 2.4 million pounds, the customers are not rushing to play that slot either because the network of WagerWorks is less widespread, or because MegaJackpots produces winners much less often. It was last hit more than a year ago, awarding the lucky player with 2 million pounds of prize money.
