August 19, 2009 - More Millionaires for Cryptologic and Playtech

There has always been staunch competition between the online casino software manufacturers. However, this time it seems to be that the fight is about who will make the most millionaires. In the past few days alone, these two software giants have made two lucky online gamblers new millionaires.

The first casino to impart such a welcome gift was Cryptologic’s aptly-named Millionaires Club which paid out over $1.5 million. Playtech’s Gold Rally waited just 24 hours to hand out over $2 million.

There is always great publicity that surrounds a software manufacturing company when a large sum of cash is won. Although these software companies produce games across a whole spectrum – from poker and roulette to blackjack and craps – it is the online slots games that create the most noise and PR for these companies.

The $2 million that was won is the largest sum in over 2 years with the last huge win being the $1.78 million which was won over a year ago. Now that Gold Rally has paid out this large sum, Beach Life has become the new biggest potential payout machine as far as progressive jackpots are concerned.

Playtech and Cryptologic have created some of the most exciting online slots games over the last few years and there seems to be more on the horizon as all the big companies vie for position. Progressive jackpots will continue to dominate the online casino news for time to come, especially when they are creating so many millionaires.
