Here’s the kind of jackpot story that could only happen in an online casino situation. Several news outlets – including GamblingResults – reported late last week that the big Mega Moolah progressive jackpot of $4.1 million had been hit at the Blackjack Ballroom internet casino; some outlets were even informed that another casino had doled out the win.

While the fact of the big jackpot win was indeed true and lucky player “Mrs. P” will indeed be recipient of this proverbial life-changing sum, it turns out that the Mega Moolah jackpot was in truth won at Palace Group casino Spin Palace.

The controversy apparently became great enough to elicit a comment from Microgaming casino group CEO Roger Raategver, who said, “We are delighted that [the] Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was won on Aug. 29th, 2010, and we will confirm that even though this win was claimed by many other casinos, the truth is that the winning player was gambling at Spin Palace Casino.”

Though such jackpots represent substantial payouts by the casino which hosts the winning progressive slot, most online casinos turn the newsworthy event into years’ worth of PR opportunities.

No comment has appeared on the matter from any other involved party, but a Spin Palace representative did say that “Mrs. P is quite overwhelmed by what will undoubtedly be a life-changing windfall. We are currently in discussions with her, and will hopefully be able to make further announcements shortly.”

It has finally happened – Mega Moolah, one of the best paying slots in online casino history, paid out a massive chunk of its progressive jackpot to a lucky player at Blackjack Ballroom Casino. The identity of the winner has not yet been revealed, but one thing is certain – they are in a good mood!

Mega Moolah is actually a name given to a whole series of video slots developed by Microgaming. Each game one shares the same four-level progressive jackpot. This jackpot is seeded at $1 million, so when it pays, it always pays big.

This week’s $4,170,128 prize paid out on the newest addition to the series: Mega Moolah Summertime. The game has a basic slot theme, with bold and colorful graphics depicting classic slot machine symbols like fruit, bells, and bars. A unique feature of these Mega Moolah series games is that their jackpots are paid out during a randomly-triggered bonus game. This means that the jackpot can pay out on any spin, though higher wagers do increase the chances that the bonus game will launch.

Blackjack Ballroom Casino is part of the Casino Rewards group of online gambling sites. This Microgaming casino is a hotspot for progressive jackpot activity, and this is not the first time that Mega Moolah has paid out big here. Back in April of 2008, Mega Moolah paid more than $5.5 million on a 50 cent bet!

Two big wins on the same slot at the same casino might just be coincidence, but perhaps there’s more to it than that. Either way, the Mega Moolah jackpot is already back up to $1.5 million, and can still pay out on any spin at Blackjack Ballroom Casino.
