Online gambling creates another instant millionaire

08.05.2008

Cryptologic-powered Littlewoods Casino.com was the venue for the creation of the latest instant online gambling millionaire this week when an as yet unidentified player hit a $1.3 million progressive jackpot on the "Millionaire's Club" slot in the early hours of the morning.

Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO claims that Millionaire's Club has made more instant millionaires in the last year than any other online casino game in history.

"As we welcome another instant millionaire to the club, we also celebrate a game that’s earned global popularity — one that keeps players coming back again and again," he said.

The game has paid out more than $15 million in jackpot wins in the past year alone, with four players winning more than $1 million. CryptoLogic also lays claim to the largest jackpot win in the history of online gaming - more than $8 million to a player from InterCasino.com.

Two weeks after that monster win, a UK online player at LittlewoodsCasino.com won more than $4 million, the second highest jackpot in online history. The last big win was in December 2007, when a player won $2.2 million at WilliamHillCasino.com.
