Are Major Millions Progressive Jackpots on the Decline?

Major Millions is one of the most popular online progressive slot machines, powered by Microgaming. For years it was known for massive payouts, striking the world record for the biggest online casino jackpot in 2002, a payout of $1.5 million, and paying out millions of dollars since. However, in the last year or so a steady decline has been seen in the size of Major Millions payouts.

Last week, in the end of February, the Major Millions jackpot was hit at $300,000. Although this is a big jackpot, it is a bit of a letdown for players that are choosing Major Millions because of the name-after all, the game does seem to promise “millions.” In the last year the biggest jackpot hit was $563,000. The million-dollar jackpot has not been hit at all in awhile.

It’s not only Major Millions that has shown a decline in the value of jackpots. Mega Moolah, another Microgaming progressive slot, has also gone down in the past year. When the game first launched it was paying out $4, $5, and even $6 million. However, Mega Moolah jackpot winners have been winning just over $1 million.

Is this recent tendency towards smaller than average progressive jackpots indicative of a new trend? Perhaps as progressives start paying out at smaller amounts they will become more popular early on, with players attempting to win these smaller jackpots. Progressive hits are a random matter of chance. However, players are always trying to find patterns and this recent spree of smaller jackpots may indicate earlier payouts and lead to an increase in progressive slots players.
