Progressive jackpots offer online casino players the chance to cash in on huge cash prizes, often worth millions of dollars. This week, Yggdrasil Gaming has announced the launch of its first-ever pooled progressive jackpot game – Joker Millions. The new Joker Millions progressive pokie will offer players the chance to earn generous jackpot prizes worth upwards of $1 million.
In addition to featuring a lucrative prize pool, Joker Millions will also offer an engaging base game. Yggdrasil Gaming wants to ensure that the title is interesting from a number of perspectives and does not only draw the player in for the jackpot. “Progressive jackpots are an excellent marketing tool for operators, but we didn’t want to make Joker Millions all about the jackpot,” says Yggdrasil CEO Fredrik Elmqvist.
“Most online jackpot slots are low variance, if you remove the actual jackpot from the equation, but Joker Millions also has very exciting elements in the base game”. As such, the base game will feature plenty of on-screen bonuses for players to enjoy. For example, there are mystery joker wins that will be awarded randomly – keeping players interested and engaged before they trigger the jackpot spin.
While Yggdrasil has launched other jackpot games, Joker Millions will be the first pooled progressive jackpot. This means that the game will be linked across several locations, accumulating its prize based on the wagers of players at a wide range of online casinos. As such, the jackpot will climb much higher much faster in order to award millions of dollars in generous prizes.
The new game will be available at online casinos towards the end of March. When it officially launches, we will let you know.
