Yukon gold casino player strikes jackpot on Mega Moolah slot

September 29, 2019 by Admin

Whenever online gambling or any form of gambling is mentioned the thought of life-changing wins occur.

Of course, not every player can be a winner but every now and again one lucky player strikes a massive win that creates hope in every other online gambler.

It doesn’t matter when you play, a massive win can happen at any time when playing progressive jackpot slots.

One very lucky player managed to strike the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot at Yukon Gold Casino.
September Winnings 

On the 5th of September 2019 one very lucky Canadian player at Yukon Gold Casino decided to try their luck on the Mega Moolah slot from Microgaming.

While playing this very popular progressive jackpot slot the Canadian player managed to land a life-changing jackpot of CA$4,746,748.54. This win came as a big surprise for everyone as September has been rated one of the slower months for the Mega Moolah jackpot over the years.

This lucky Canadian player not only managed to break the streak of bad luck in September on the progressive slot but also managed to become the first to hit the jackpot on the 5th of the month. In the past, most September wins on the game only occurred on the 6th, 25th, and 28th of the month.

And although it hasn’t been confirmed if the jackpot winner is from Canada the prize paid it Canadian dollars basically tells the story. Lady Luck has been favouring Canadian players when it comes to the Mega Moolah slot. In 2019 alone Canadian players have earned a total of 42,228,633.73 in jackpot prizes on this progressive slot game.

Some might say it’s high time as there were no jackpots on the Mega Moolah slot in Canada up until June 2014.

Mega Moolah and Progressive Winnings 

With the latest progressive jackpot win, many players are wondering what will happen and how much jackpot money will be up for the taking. While you might think the Mega Moolah slot would have no jackpot prize to win after such a marvelous win it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Mega Moolah jackpot has just been reset to back to 1.8 million giving players a chance to aim for those big
winnings once more.

About the slot 

Mega Moolah is a fun progressive jackpot slot with an African Safari theme that can be played on all devices. The slots comes with four progressive jackpot prizes known as the Mini, Minor, and Major and Mega jackpot.

The most exciting part of playing Mega Moolah is that you can trigger the special Jackpot Bonus Game on any given spin. During this bonus game, you will be presented with a large wheel that will reveal your award once after the spin.

The bigger your bet size, the more likely you are to trigger the jackpot bonus game although you can take a spin from as little as 0.25.

Try the Mega Moolah progressive slot at Yukon Gold Casino and you could be the next big jackpot winner.

NetEnt Opens New UK Office

September 22, 2019 by Admin

Swedish company NetEnt is legendary in the iGaming industry. They are known for delivering some of the best online casino game experiences, characterised by superior quality, stunning visuals, and highly innovative design. Recently the corporation announced the intention of a stronger focus in the United Kingdom market, referring to it as one of the most important in the world. Now, shortly after the announcement, that intention has come to pass. A new NetEnt office has been announced, under the NetEnt UK Ltd banner.

Managing director and chief strategist at NetEnt UK Ltd, Andy Whitworth, and director of products and services Rob Fell, are responsible for the new venue. According to them, the new offices are an important step in a long-term plan, and that more should be expected in the local market in the coming months.

This almost certainly means a new game is incoming, which is great news for different type of pokies enthusiasts.

Recruiting Talent

Reports are that the new venue is already populated by top talent from the online casino industry, as would be expected from a corporation with such an outstanding reputation. Yet according to Whitworth, the initial employee recruitment phase was only the beginning, with a second wave of employment opportunities due in the near future. He made it clear that since further expansion was guaranteed, and as new talent was drawn to the opportunity, further recruitment was also a certainty.

So, it seems that there is now major room for talented artists and game designers to get into the industry.

Closer to Customers

But the new offices aren’t all just about finding the most skilled developers. Whitworth pointed out that the United Kingdom was currently the biggest market for NetEnt. With that being the case, it makes sense that the company wanted to be closer to its core customer base.

Though the move also spells an effort by the corporation to drive growth. CEO Therese Hillman said as much in her own statement. She called the new presence in the United Kingdom one of her key strategies for the year. A strategy which had now clearly been achieved.

What the future holds for this giant of the industry remains to be seen. But expectations are high, and online casino game enthusiasts will be waiting with bated breath for the next outstanding product to be released to the public. Whatever that product is, it will surely be made with the level of quality that has NetEnt is known for.

Not wasting any time, Neon Valley Studios have already released their first official online pokies title under their new contract. The new game, titled “Aurora Wilds”, is already receiving rave reviews. The 5-reel, 10-payline game offers a rich visual experience, themed around the Northern Lights or ‘Aurora Borealis’.

Microgaming Skates in on Ice with New Break Away Deluxe Video Pokie

July 31, 2019 by Admin

Hot on the heels of premiering its Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx video game, Microgaming, the renowned online casino games and software developer, has taken to the ice for Break Away Deluxe, its latest five-reel slot sensation.

On the Back of Winning Titles

The operator, based in Isle of Man, recently announced in a press release that its newest video pokie was exclusively developed in the wake of the popular Agent Jane Blonde Returns, Fortunium, and Dragon Shard games. In this game, you are invited to have fun and win big as a professional ice hockey player.

Payline Offerings

According to Microgaming, Break Away Deluxe is a mobile-friendly version of its predecessor Break Away. The game offers ‘fast and high-volatility action’ as it employs its rolling reels to present online gaming lovers with the choice to select between 18, 38, 68 and 88 paylines.

Wilds

Global Operations Director for Microgaming, James Buchanan, used the press release to expound on the idea that higher rewards lie in wait on this game across more paylines. Furthermore, scoring in the base game is even easier with the ability to now collect super stacked wilds on reels three, four and five. Break Away Deluxe, he went on to say, offers the Smashing Wild feature where one of the three middle reels is turned fully wild for certain wins before staying in place for every roll that follows.

Bonus Features

Buchanan added that in addition to all of the above, the game gives players who land a minimum of three scatter symbols a twelve-spin bonus round featuring an octuple multiplier trail. This advance, he stated, is accompanied by Growing Wilds on reels two to five in order to increase ‘each wild stack by one wild with every spin and intensifying the excitement throughout the feature’.

Summing up the game, Buchanan stated, “Break Away Deluxe takes all the action of the phenomenally popular original slot, layering it up with even more exciting and rewarding features. Stormcraft Studios has successfully created a high-volatility slot experience with excellent win potential up to 3,200 times the initial bet. We’re looking forward to seeing fans and new players alike immerse themselves in this engrossing update of a true Microgaming classic.”

Boogie Woogie Like it’s the 70s Again with Village People Macho Moves

July 8, 2019 by Admin

Remember when you got yourself all glammed up in your bellbottoms, platform shoes with heels for days and hair as big as a disco ball to boogie the night away? Well, a revisit to those 70s glory days is on its way! Yip, Spin Palace will be unveiling the new Village People® Macho Moves online slot game, which brings back those heady days to the Spin Palace online casino! The get-down starts on June 25, 2019!

Get your groove on with Village People® and coin it big time!

The Village people have left a lasting impression on popular culture. Their outrageous costumes and deliciously catchy tunes have stood the test of time. Let’s face it. It remains impossible to keep your toes from tapping, whether you were there to experience the 70s disco era in all its glory or not, when you hear their classics, ‘’Y.M.C.A’’ or ‘’In the Navy’’.

Inspired by the band’s 1978 hit song, ‘’Macho Man’’, Microgaming brings you a zippy new spin on dance classics where you’re zapped away on a retro ride to one of the most beloved decades in pop history! The slot’s makers have nailed the look and feel of the 70s clubbing scene with 3×9 reels, wild tiles, unique features in the Free Spins round and spot-on recreations of Village People® characters to ensure a real blast of a time.

Hit the disco dance floor and step out a big winner!

Village People® Macho Moves base game is comprised of 6 reels. Above each reel is one of the iconic band member characters. Each of these muscled symbols come with their own wild meter.  As you play, these can be filled up by landing on VP wilds, which gets you nearer to that particular character’s Free Spins feature. More than this, it also converts the reel it lands on into wilds. The chances of making matches and landing a win are now increased. Unlocking the bonus feature involves collecting 5 tokens for each macho man, with each of them busting out a dance move during the 5 free spins.

The Construction Worker: A bet multiplier which builds up your winnings will come your way when you earn the Construction Worker’s Free Spin’s round.  You will enjoy between 2x and 20x with this random multiplier. These are granted in the Free Spins round before each spin.

The Cowboy: Before each respin our Cowboy places between 2 and 12 disco ball Wild tiles randomly on different places of the reels. You’ll be riding into some major wins with this character all guns blazing!

The Cop: Your generous man in blue will award you with 1 to 3 Wild Reels. As with The Cowboy, The Cop randomly places these Wild Reels shortly before each spin in the Free Spins round. The whole reel is full of wilds, which is a ticket given by your Cop to some big wins!

The Native: The Native’s Free Spins round will also help you rack up your winnings. After placing 2 Wild Reels in the far-right reels, for every additional spin, it moves them one space to the left.

The Biker: You’re in for the ride of your life with The Biker in the Free Spins round. Here, all low-paying symbols are substituted for each free spin with a high-paying symbol i.e. the sunglasses the vinyl records, 8-track, the microphone or the disco shoes.

The Sailor: Prepare to set sail for some major wins with this character’s the Free Spins round, where before each spin you will get between 1 and 3 wild tiles— they’re set in place for the rest of the free spins round. The more Free Spins you take, the more winning shores up!

Get down to your Village People® favourite tunes while you win!

In addition to all of the above, Village People® Macho Moves offers you a selection of 5 of Village People’s best all time tunes from the VP Jukebox, making sure you never lose your groove as you play. The slot’s look and feel enhances the experience of the game with onscreen graphics like the thumping speakers, a bright dance floor, and the Village People® themselves. It will all feel like you’re grooving in a 70s disco hall while you rack up those wins!

With 15 different paylines you can use to land winning combinations, the game will most definitely take off with gamers everywhere. The two kinds of wilds give your chances of winning a major boost and, of course the opportunity to earn those lucrative Free Spins with one of the Village People® characters. The slot has bet limits of 0.20 – 25.00, high volatility and a hit rate of 24.336 percent. Don’t wait. Scoot over to Village People® Macho Moves and get yourself in a winning groove!
