Aztec's Millions Progressive Jackpot Hit

By Joe Valentino September 21, 2009 General Gambling News

The progressive jackpot of the Aztec's Millions online slot game was hit over this weekend. One lucky player at some Real Time Gaming (RTG) online casino has won over a million dollars.

On January 15, 2009 RTG launched the progressive jackpot online slot game Aztec's Millions with great fanfare. It was the first RTG progressive slot that started at a million dollars. In December 2008 Microgaming had withdrawn from the American online gaming market. American players who were used to playing for the huge Microgaming progressive jackpots were suddenly left with a vacuum. Aztec's Millions was launched to fill in that gap.

Aztec's Millions was an instant hit. Over the last eight months the jackpot amount rose steadily from $1 million to $1.26 million at the average rate of over $1,000 a day. Early on September 19 it was hit for a magnificent sum of $1,261,887. It is not yet known at which RTG online casino the hit took place. Not has the name of the winner been revealed. These details will take some time in coming. But this is a big hit for an RTG jackpot after a long time and the announcement is sure to be made with appropriate flourish. The jackpot for Aztec's millions has been reset and is currently at just over a million dollars waiting to produce its second millionaire.

Aztec's Millions is a 5 reel and 25 payline slot game with the ancient and wealthy civilization of the Aztecs as its theme. All paylines have to be wagered with a fixed coin denomination of $0.20 per payline or $5 per spin. The symbols on the reels all belong to the Aztec era. The Aztec King is the wild symbol. The Aztec Queen offers a fixed jackpot of 5,000 coins. The Idol is the scatter symbol and triggers the free spins bonus round. The other symbols include the panther, witch doctor and several Aztec artifacts. However the most sought after symbol is the Aztec's Millions Logo. The progressive jackpot is hit when five of these symbols appear in any payline.

Despite this huge hit RTG progressives lead the race as a pool. Aztec's Millions has lost only marginal value because it resets at $1 million. Jackpot Pinatas is going strong at over $ 1.4 million and Shopping Spree is almost at the $1 million level. The total RTG jackpot pool is at over $5 million. The Playtech pool is next at over $3 million.

Aztec's Millions and the other RTG progressive jackpot online slots can be played at all RTG powered online casinos. CasinoAdvisor recommends Club World Casino, One Club Casino, Rushmore Casino, Slots Oasis Casino and Cherry Red Casino.

Comment by: Hal Mason On: September 22, 2009 Good job to whoever did win. A nice win indeed! Hopefully this person isn't already super rich and this actually will make a big difference in their lives. I know that a win like that would definitely set me on a path to retirement.

Comment by: Richards On: September 21, 2009 That's a stellar win! Good job to the person who won... I'd love to hit a win like this. It's what I play for more or less these days but I've never actually hit a sizable progressive jackpot win as of yet. Hopefully my time is coming soon!
