Online Progressive Pokies For Australian Players

Added: November 27, 2014

Many Australian players wager on online progressive pokie games for the life changing payouts that are offered. These payouts are not hit very frequently, but this adds to the excitement. This article points out a few of the progressive pokies that are at entry levels.

Playtech is one of the software providers the powers many Australian online casinos. Its flagship progressive jackpot pokie is Beach Life. This rarely pays less than a million Australian dollars. Right now Beach Life is running at over AU$2.6 million. It was last hit almost a year ago, which is more than the average period between hits. Therefore it is a good time to start wagering on this progressive pokie. Beach Life has a summer beach theme, which also fits in perfectly with the current season in Australia. In order to win the progressive jackpot you have to get five sun symbols on the 20th payline.

Another Playtech progressive pokie that is beginning to generate interest is Gold Rally. Million dollar plus hits are not as frequent on this pokie, but it is currently ticking away at over AU$1.03 million. This video pokie has a very unusual format, which is available at only Playtech online casinos. The symbols are set in a 3x3 matrix and each position spins independently. Gold Rally has a mining theme with symbols like gold coins, dynamite and miner’s lamp. The progressive jackpot is hit when the scale symbol appears in each of the nine positions.

Microgaming is the other online casino software provider popular in Australia. Here the pride of the place is taken by Mega Moolah. Mega Moolah is a progressive jackpot network that is fed by five video pokies. The jackpot can be hit through any of them. Actually there are four independent jackpots in this network and Mega Moolah is the largest. It resets at one million dollars and this is the minimum payout that an Australian player will get. Presently the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot is running at AU$2.3 million.

The other Microgaming progressive pokie worth considering is Major Millions. This usually hits once in two months and Australian players can perhaps wait a few weeks before entering. The payouts are also smaller than Mega Moolah, averaging around AU$500,000. Major Millions is available as a three reels classic pokie and a five reels video pokie networked to the same progressive jackpot. You can play on either of these games as per your liking. They offer the same chance of hitting the jackpot.
