Amidst the business leading up to the holiday season and the downtime thereafter, another lucky gambler became a millionaire while betting at a Microgaming online casino. This time around, the $1,745,475 jackpot was hit at Captain Cooks Online Casino on the King Cashalot progressive slot machine. One single player pocketed the entire King Cashalot jackpot on New Years Eve.

Marking the tenth millionaire to be made through the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network, the New Year's Eve win could not have been a better way to start 2007. Since the mid-nineties - during which time the online casino gambling industry was beginning to take off - Microgaming has been a leading pioneer in software development, security applications and online jackpots. Not only has Microgaming made ten millionaires, they have awarded cumulative payouts exceeding $220 million since first going on the Web.

Microgaming's Chief Executive Officer, Roger Raatgever, said the last twelve months have been very productive for the company. As part of their promise to release more new online casino games than their competitors, Microgaming initiated their "New Games Rollout" campaign in 2006, during which time they launched over sixty games - averaging at five new games per month. Raatgever also drew attention to Microgaming's latest new progressive video slot, Mega Moolah, which is currently about to break $1,200,000. It is only a matter of time before the eleventh millionaire is made at any of the Microgaming Online Casinos.

As for the host of the latest King Cashalot jackpot, Captain Cooks was likewise very excited about an excellent performance margin in 2006. They achieved one of the best average payout percentages for all of their online casino games throughout the entire year. Now, offering live assistance in which casino personnel will call players at home during the most convenient time, Captain Cooks has established itself as a leader in hospitable online gaming and player satisfaction. In addition to the growing Mega Moolah jackpot, Captain Cooks Casino is offering a large selection of free cash promotions.
