Gaming software provider Cryptologic has just launched the web site JackpotMania.com. The site is a cross-casino portal that will connect 12 major online gaming brands to progressive jackpots around the world.
Progressive games, which are characterized by jackpots that grow as more people play, are becoming increasingly popular with online gamblers.
Jean Noelting, president and CEO of CryptoLogic, explained the strategy behind the new site. ''With Internet gaming expanding so quickly, the competitive edge will belong to operators with big names, big jackpots and trusted technology.
At JackpotMania.com, CryptoLogic is opening the door to the biggest potential jackpots in online gaming. These progressive jackpots - which can be won by anyone, anywhere in the world - will be a huge marketing draw for the brand-name casinos that have chosen CryptoLogic's safe, secure e-gaming technology. And what's good for our licensees is good for our business.''
There have been a number of large progressive jackpot wins in recent months. One player recently won a record-setting $235,000 at TheSands.com. CryptoLogic is expecting that the new site will attract considerably more players to partner casinos, resulting in larger, faster-growing jackpots and more business for CryptoLogic licensees.
JackpotMania.com offers players a single destination with six new progressive slots, video poker and Caribbean poker games. The site brings together some of the best-known gaming brands, including InterCasino.com, WilliamHillCasino.com, TheSands.com, KiwiCasino.com, Casino8Online.com, CasinoeBet.com, OmniCasino.com, VIPCasino.com and both the English and Spanish versions of CasinoSur.com and FiestaCasinos.com.
The progressive jackpot games feature $0.25 and $1.00 Triple Olives slots and Super Jackpot video poker, as well as a tabletop progressive counter on Caribbean poker tables with a starting value of $100,000. CryptoLogic also recently released a new $1.00 slot called Rags to Riches, with a starting value of $100,000.
JackpotMania.com runs real-time tallies displaying each growing jackpot as games are played simultaneously across these online casinos. Players can access this information through the JackpotMania site or through CryptoLogic licensees. The JackpotMania.com web site will feature winner information, links to CryptoLogic-licensee contests and special offers, e-mail notification to alert players when jackpots reach high levels, and an affiliate program.
