Sky Vegas Player Wins Million On Millionaires Club

A week ago the Cryptologic progressive jackpot online slot game Millionaires Club was hit for over 1.5 million credits. This much was known then because the ticker dipped to the reset value of the slot game. Now Cryptologic has revealed further details about the win through a press release from its headquarters at Dublin, Ireland.

The lucky millionaire has been identified as LA from London. LA was playing at Sky Vegas online casino, which is owned by the BSkyB Group from the United Kingdom. Since LA was wagering in British Pounds his win stands at £1,547,338.68. This amounts to over 2.5 million in U.S. Dollars. Sky Vegas online casino confirmed that LA had staked only £2.25.

Just a year ago Cryptologic had signed a three year agreement with BSkyB to supply its best non-downloadable online casino games to Sky Vegas. These games went live at Sky Vegas early in 2009. One of these games was Millionaires Club. In less than a year this agreement has paid rich dividends for Sky Vegas. Some of the other Cryptologic games that are available at Sky Vegas online casino are Bejeweled, Fantastic Four, Street Fighter II and Spiderman. Apart from an online casino Sky Vegas offers other online gambling products like sports betting, bingo and poker.

Richard Flint, Managing Director of Sky Betting and Gaming said, "Another lucky player has become a millionaire, and it's a payout we are happy to make. Every big win attracts more players to Sky Vegas, where we are very pleased to deliver the excitement and the experience of Cryptologic games." Sky Betting and Gaming is the part of the BSkyB Group that owns the brand Sky Vegas.

After this hit the Millionaires Club progressive jackpot was reset at $175,000. However, just three days later it was hit again at only 186,118 credits. This time the player was wagering in U.S. Dollars and hence the payout was in U.S. Dollars. The online casino this time was InterCasino, which is the first licensee of Cryptologic and also the world's first online casino. This hit sends a signal to online players that in the final analysis all calculations of average payouts and average duration between hits are futile. Online progressive jackpots can hit at any time, even twice in quick succession.

Speaking about these wins Justin Thouin, Cryptologic's Vice President, said, "Whether it's on land or online, big payouts attract big player action - and Cryptologic's games are designed to deliver both. That's why Cryptologic games and Internet casino software are popular among players, and profitable for major online gaming brands such as Sky Vegas and InterCasino."
