Playtech Beach Life Progressive Picks Up Steam

Beach Life is the leading online progressive jackpot slot game from Playtech. It is once again pushing to the $1 million mark. And as it approaches that magical figure, it is drawing more traffic and moving upwards even faster.

Beach Life was released by Playtech in November 2006. Microgaming released Mega Moolah in November 2006 as well. And it cannot be a coincidence that two of the biggest paying online slots were released simultaneously. In the last year Beach life has had a checkered history. It gave a hit of almost $1.5 million exactly a year ago. Then in a space of 6 months it rose to a whopping $4.2 million and gave one of the biggest hits in the history of progressive jackpot slots. The progressive slot, which resets at $50,000, has been struggling a bit since then to cross the million dollar mark. About three months back it hit at $850,000 and almost immediately it hit again at $210,000. But since then it has been growing steadily and now stands at over $950,000. The relevant statistics of Beach Life over the last one year are as follows: number of hits is 4; total payout is $6.7 million; average hit is $1.7 million and average period between hits is 91 days.

Since the last his Beach Life has grown by about $900,000 in 75 days, which gives an average growth rate of about $12,000 per day. In the last five days the growth is even faster. It is currently growing at over$25,000 a day. This means that it should cross the million dollar mark in the next few days, unless it is hit before that. This also means that online players are gunning for the jackpot now and are not waiting for it to reach the $4 million mark as it did last year.

One of the reasons that Beach Life is doing so well is the Playtech does not offer many other progressive jackpot slots of this stature. It has been reported that Gold Rally, the other big slot from Playtech, hit at over $1 million last week, but no details are as yet available. The rest of the progressive jackpot slots are at below the $100K level. The progressive jackpots in other games offered by Playtech are faring better in comparison. These are Megaball, Jackpot Darts and Progressive Blackjack, which are between the $200K and $300K level.

Beach Life is a sea side holiday themed slot. And perhaps in this severe winter that is what most people are dreaming about. The progressive slot can be played at all Playtech online casinos.
