Lord of the Rings Progressive HitBy: Fabian Rictor, Monday January 2nd 2012![]() ![]() ![]() At the fag end of 2011, on December 28, the ticker of the Microgaming progressive jackpot Mega Moolah fell from almost 2 million to 1 million. However, the hit was not on one of the four Mega Moolah progressive slot games, which are Mega Moolah, Isis, Summertime and 5 Reel Drive. The hit was on another fantastic slot game that was recently linked to the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network. This slot game is The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, known as LOTR at all Microgaming online casinos. The recent big winners list at the Fortune Lounge group of online casinos reveals that a player Susan C won £1,965,956.46 on LOTR. Susan was playing at the flagship brand of Fortune Lounge, Platinum Play online casino. In the end of August 2011 teasers appeared at several Microgaming online casinos about the imminent release of an epic game. It did not turn out to be the second part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy as expected. It was a revamped and enhanced version of LOTR. One of the enhancements was the introduction of a four tier progressive jackpot linked to Mega Moolah. Since the progressive jackpot was linked to Mega Moolah it functions in exactly the same way. The Bonus Wheel round is triggered randomly and when this happens the lucky player is sure to win one of the four jackpots. The familiar wheel with bands in four colors is spun and the jackpot level corresponding to the color the wheel stops at is won. The band corresponding to the Mega jackpot, which is the one that pays in millions, is white. On December 28 when Susan spun the wheel at Platinum Play online casino it stopped on the white band. Susan's heartbeat must have also stopped for a second. Microgaming and Fortune Lounge will issue a formal statement in due course. When the revamped LOTR was released in September 2011 the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was already going strong. It rose to over 3.8 million before being hit in October 2011 on one of the Mega Moolah slots. The jackpot resets at 1 million so it is already above a million. At the time of writing it was ticking away at 1,012,400. Now all eyes at Platinum Play and other Microgaming online casinos are on Major Millions. The progressive jackpot of Major Millions is at 1,777,250. It was last hit almost a year ago for 451,685. Over the last two years no hit on Major Millions has topped 500K. Players have fed this progressive jackpot patiently and hopefully it will be collection time soon. News Item Tools
