Mega-Jackpots Propelling the Grandest Casinos Online

September 16, 2003

Online, competition between casinos is fiercer than on the Las Vegas strip; and since online casinos can’t offer free dinners and shows, they compete on jackpots, making the Internet the premiere hunting ground for serious slot fanatics.

Mega-Jackpots are common online, and as InterCasino’s (www.InterCasino.com) casino manager Ryan Hartley points out:

“Online Slots have to be something spectacular to attract attention. Our Rags to Riches progressive is a $1 machine that gives players the opportunity to win a guaranteed Mega-Jackpot of $100,000. Of course, the jackpot accumulates as more people play and we have had several winners win between $200,000 and $400,000. Just yesterday Rags to Riches paid out $139,781.”

But can smaller online casinos compete with the big boys, or are the progressive jackpots just to large for the smaller operators to compete with? Gambling Expert Gabriel Black gives his point of view:

“There is a breed of online slot players that want to go for the biggest jackpots, by the very nature of how progressive jackpots work, by taking a percentage of each bet and applying it to the jackpot, the biggest casinos with the most action have the fastest growing and largest progressive jackpots.

A small casino simply can’t offer a large progressive jackpot economically without setting the jackpot really tight. Players know this, so they don’t just look at the size of the jackpot, they look at how frequently it’s won.”

The Mega-Jackpot Rags to Riches progressive slot machine can be found at InterCasino, two-time recipient of Gambling Online Magazine’s ‘Best Online Casino’ award (www.InterCasino.com). Other InterCasino Mega-Jackpots include video keno and Spice Island Poker, both currently offering Mega-Jackpots close to $200,000.
