Wowpot Jackpot hits 7 million for the first time

It has been a big day for the two largest Microgaming progressive jackpot network prizes. First off, the Wowpot Progressive Jackpot has now crashed through the 7 million mark for the first time and we will bring you much more on that landmark in the main body of the article below.

However, it is not the only big news in terms of progressive jackpot prizes reaching a new threshold as just a few days after the jackpot was last triggered for a prize of just over 3 million, the Mega Moolah jackpot has continued to increase in value and has now crashed through the 2 million mark once again, double its seed amount of 1 million.

Of course, that's not a huge amount for the Mega Jackpot, which has paid out three winners of above 10 million already in 2020, but its fans will no doubt be glad to see that the jackpot is already growing quickly and starting to catch up on its younger sibling, the Wowpot.

Let's take a look now at that big Wowpot jackpot, how it is growing and why the slot may not be paying out its top prize, but it has been extremely generous to winners of its second largest jackpot prize this September.

The Wowpot progressive series

Ordinarily, progress on a progressive jackpot slot game is measured by how much the jackpot progresses in size over a given time. Even on that basic level, it has been a very positive month for the Wowpot progressive jackpot game as not only did it crash through the 6 million barrier early on in September, but it has now also crashed through the 7 million mark as we approach the end of the month.

However, there is a very good reason for this acceleration in the jackpot amount and that is because this month has also seen the release of the second and third games that are part of the Wowpot Network. First off, on the 1^st September the Book of Atem Wowpot slot joined the Feburary released Wheel of Wishes slot in offering players a chance to play the game.

Then barely a week later, the third slot in the series was added in the shape of the eagerly-awaited Sisters of Oz Wowpot slot game which features four beautiful women casting their spells against the backdrop of the famous land of Oz.

The cumulative effect of two big name releases being added to the Wowpot progressive, both of which offer a very different way to play for the jackpot prize compared to the original Wheel of Wishes slot, has certainly stimulated interest in the Wowpot jackpot prize and not only that, it has also seemingly stirred up the progressive jackpot gods who have been busily rewarding players, albeit not with that massive Wowpot progressive jackpot prize!

Instead, what has happened is that September has seen a huge increase in the number of lucky players that have landed the 50,000 minimum seeded Major Wowpot progressive jackpot. On average, across other months, the Major jackpot has been landed around once every 8-10 days but in September, with more people playing the game, many more people have been rewarded.

Incredibly we have seen a total of NINE Major jackpot winners on the Wowpot progressive network in September alone. That is almost half of all the Major jackpots won since the game was first released back in February and it is seven jackpots more than were won back in August.

It is also worth noting that the winners that have landed prizes have landed some huge amounts, with the first winner of the month pocketing over 436,312 in their local currency, with another win a couple of days later of almost 250,000. There have been three more wins of over 100,000, plus another four wins of between the seed amount of 50,000 and 100,000. See the Wowpot Major winner stats on WheelofWishes.net.

Of course, there is no doubt that these Major jackpot winners have also had an impact on the number of people and number of spins being played on the Wowpot network and this of course has a knock on effect in how quickly the top jackpot prize, the Wowpot increases. Suffice to say, that the Wowpot progressive jackpot is now increasing at as quick a rate as at any time since the game was released.

That is hugely exciting news for progressive jackpot fans who want to try and chase the biggest prize available on the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network at the moment.

Although one word of caution, that may not be the case for very long and the reason for that we will look at in the next section.

Mega Moolah climbs to 2m days after a 3 million win

It has already been a big month on the Mega Moolah network, first off we have seen two jackpot winners claimed in September with a prize of just over 4 million landed on the 6^th September, followed by a prize of just over 3 million on the 19^th September. Both of those wins coming on the back of a huge 14.2 million win by a Swedish-based player back on 17^th August.

So it is unsurprising that the Mega Moolah top progressive jackpot prize, the Mega jackpot, has taken a bit of a battering but it is already showing signs of coming back to live as today the jackpot passed the 2 million mark once again.

While Mega Moolah may be the second biggest jackpot prize on the Microgaming network at the moment, it is not likely to be that way for too long, unless the jackpot is won again shortly. The sheer number of games available on the Mega Moolah network and how popular it has become with players means that this jackpot can sometimes increase by as much as 250,000 to 300,000 in a single day. Which means that in the space of a few weeks, it could be surpassing the Wowpot jackpot prize.

The only thing that could scupper this is if the jackpot prize is won again over that time, which is a distinct possibility given how often it has been won of late.

There's no doubt that the big money available on the Wowpot progressive and the Mega Moolah slot will attract plenty of attention but fans of the Microgaming progressive network should not forget to look out the King Cashalot slot. That game jackpot also currently sits at over 1.1 million and has been climbing steadily for a while now.

So, with three million-plus jackpots available to be won, who will be the next big money winner on the Microgaming progressive network and when and where will they land their prize from? As soon as we know, we will bring you all the details right here!
