32Red Online Casino has reported that one of their progressive slot machines, Mega Moolah, has reached a landmark jackpot figure of £5 million and is still growing. If won, this would represent one of the largest jackpots ever paid out online.

Part of 32Red Plc (listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange), the online casino at 32Red.com has won the coveted Casinomeister Best Casino award since 2003 – an unprecedented six consecutive years – and is one of four other online gaming products operated by the company, including 32Red Mobile Casino, 32Red Poker, 32Red Bingo and Dash Casino.

32Red has produced a number of progressive winners since its launch, including one player who has won a five figure sum in 3 months from four jackpot wins from the same game, Cash Splash. The online casino also reports two millionaires produced from their online casino tables and slot machines , with a win of £1,094,112.81 in February 2008 and £1,000,641 in 2007.

32Red Head of Marketing, Mark Quayle, commented, “We have had many jackpot winners at 32Red, including creating a millionaire in both 2007 and 2008. We’ve never had a winner of the Mega Moolah main jackpot; maybe 2009 will complete the millionaire hat-trick.”

The Mega Moolah £5 million jackpot is a result of a small percentage of each Mega Moolah bet being placed into a central prizepool. It builds until triggered and, once won, is reset to a guaranteed £1 million, making it one of the most generous casino games available online.

32Red players can also win that same jackpot in a brand new slot machine game: Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive – which was one of 4 new games added to 32Red Online Casino this January.

32Red Plc has announced that 32Red, their UK facing online casino, has retained the Casinomeister Best Casino (Global) Award for the sixth year running. This unprecedented achievement is on the back of the company’s positive trading figures for 2008 and underlines a solid year for the AIM listed company.

32Red CEO, Ed Ware, remarked, “We’re absolutely delighted to have retained the Best Casino Award in 2008 and will continue to provide and build on our unrivalled service and product in 2009. 32Red has always put the player first and this award is further evidence of that.”

Bryan Bailey of Casinomeister praised 32Red’s consistency by commenting that the online casino has, “marked the standard most casinos wish to replicate since their launching in 2002.” He noted in particular that 32Red “has maintained a strong and steady course providing players and their affiliates with a safe and secure gaming environment, fairness and transparency.”

In addition to a sixth successive Best Casino award, 32Red Online Casino is celebrating another coveted accolade with consecutive Best Casino Manager awards for 32Red’s Operations Director, Pat Harrison. Bailey recognised Harrison’s hard work in 2008, remarking “He is readily available, approachable, and is capable of making smart command decisions. He is the “face” of 32Red – a casino that consistently exceeds our expectations.”

The awards reinforce a good year for 32Red Plc, who recently announced gross wins up by 13%, 15% more active players and new players up by 7% in 2008. The casino is well known within the industry for its wide range of online slots , casino games and poker rooms, and the brand launched their first national TV campaign in December. Ware anticipates more of the same for 2009, highlighting the online casino’s debut UK television campaign which commenced in December.

32Red has announced that one of its players claimed a second large jackpot win from the same slot machine in under a month. The lucky player has taken home a total of £37,864.09 in just 17 days and becomes one of the online casino‘s luckiest customers.

With a history of big winners, 32Red can demonstrate a series of large payouts that include a £1,094,112.81 win on Major Millions, which was one of the biggest payouts ever recorded at an online casino, and £1,000,641 on King Cashalot. Both of these wins came from one of 32Red’s 150+ slot machines and represent just two of twelve jackpot games available at 32Red, including Mega Moolah – the jackpot to which currently stands at over £4,500,000.

Remarkably, these latest jackpots all came from the same slot machine, Cash Splash . The casino reports the probability of this happening as very low, with Ed Ware, 32Red CEO, remarking “Although large jackpot wins are quite common at 32Red, the chances of the same player winning the jackpot from the same game twice in a month are both staggering and wonderful.”

The player from Dorset logged in as normal on the 9th October and loaded the Cash Splash progressive online slot game, triggering the jackpot of £22,949.09 shortly after. He then logged in again on the 26th October and won a further £14,915, making a total payout of £37,864.09 for him in October. Ware said, “This series of big wins couldn’t come at a better time too, with another winner at 32Red well and truly beating the credit crunch in October and lining up a very special Christmas”.

The Cash Splash progressive slot is available to play in two forms – as a 3 reel, single payline slot and a 5 reel, 15 payline machine. The jackpot is triggered by the game’s logo symbol falling across the reels on the selected payline. When this happens the displayed jackpot total within the game is the figure won by the player. This amount varies and is connected to how much the game is played, with a fraction added to the jackpot every time the reels are spun. After the player’s second win, the jackpot was reset and now stands at over £11,500, prompting Ware to ask, “Can this same player make it 3 wins in short succession? Either way it has to be his luckiest autumn and we wish him the best of luck in the future”.
