Major Millions™ slot game could give rise to first mobile millionaire
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, SPAIN, 12 FEBRUARY 2008 Spin3 (spin3.com)*, a leading provider of advanced mobile gambling solutions powered by Microgaming, the world's largest online gaming software provider, has announced that the Major Millions™ progressive slot game now boasts a jackpot of over £1,000,000.
Major Millions made for mobile is a three-reel progressive slot machine that is synchronized in real-time with Microgaming's progressive jackpot network. Like the online counterpart, bets start as low as £1 on the mobile version, and by placing the maximum £3 wager per spin, end-users are eligible to win the progressive jackpot.
Spin3 - the winner of the mobile gambling category at Juniper Research's recent Future Mobile Awards - was the first mobile casino provider to launch progressive jackpot games. In addition to Major Millions, Spin3 also offers its customers two other progressive jackpot games - Treasure Nile and Fruit Fiesta.
Matti Zinder, Head of Spin3, says, "The fact that there is a real chance of someone winning £1,000,000 on a mobile game is a huge milestone for the mobile casino industry. The jackpot is connected with numerous online casinos, and we are very excited that the next Major Millions instant-millionaire winner could be a mobile player. Spin3 is honoured to be the first company in this space to provide such a high-profile game to its customers."
Major Millions can be played at the following mobile casinos: 32Red (www.32redmobile.com), Ladbrokes (http://casino.ladbrokes.com/en/mobile), 777Mobile (www.777mobile.com), Wild Jack Mobile Casino (www.wjmc.com), Crazy Vegas (http://wap.crazyvegas.com/mobile.asp), Royal Vegas (www.royalvegasmobile.com), and Intertops (www.intertopscasino.com/mobile).
