After the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator launched the progressive Jackpot on the Prime Network in October 2023, the fortunate player finally claimed the winnings on February 7, 2024! The winner of the Jackpot takes the EUR 244,742.34 prize aggregated in the Prime Network Jackpot campaign.
Progressive Jackpot Campaign
The campaign was run by multiple operators that collectively established shared prize pools to pay winnings from such pools rather than by individual operators. Such a design enabled the campaign to offer outstanding rewards and attract a huge number of players. For this reason, the Prime Network Jackpot campaign received online bets of only one euro to see around one million in bets in the prize pool from October 2023 to February 2024.
€244K Jackpot Hit on February 7, 2024
The first Prime Network Jackpot was seen on February 7, 2024 at the Fastpay Casino platform when a lucky player hit the 244,742.34 euro prize on a game provided by BGaming. When the jackpot amount paid from the network prize pool is compared to winnings from regular non-network progressive jackpots not exceeding 50K euro, it is evident that the network approach brings more benefits to players and operators. Therefore the SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator is set to soon launch its next Prime Network Jackpot campaign as it is becoming a strategic tool for casinos to boost their operations.
Aliaksei Douhin, Head of SOFTSWISS Jackpot Aggregator at SOFTSWISS, commented: “We’re thrilled that the long-awaited win happened during the ICE industry event, an ideal time for the community to connect and share insights. This win provides an additional reason for celebration with our partners.
Following our initial online progressive network jackpot campaign with a starting 100,000 euro prize pool, we’re immediately launching a new one starting at 300,000 euro. This campaign offers substantial rewards for players and facilitates jackpot payouts from the collective prize pool. It serves as an effective marketing strategy to engage and attract users, a pertinent topic for discussion at ICE and, particularly, at our stand.”
Fastpay Casino representative added: “Hosting the inaugural draw of SOFTSWISS’ Prime Network Jackpot campaign has been an honour and a stroke of fortune for us. Among the many participating casinos, ours was privileged to be the first to celebrate a winner in this exciting campaign. It’s particularly symbolic that the win occurred in a game developed exclusively for us by BGaming – Fastpay Bonanza. This event underscores the advantages of collaborative network jackpots and affirms our commitment to providing exceptional gaming experiences. We look forward to hosting more such exciting events, continuing to create winners among our players and our casino community.”
Commenting on the winning campaign, Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming said:“It’s gratifying to see players enthusiastically embracing fresh industry initiatives, like the SOFTSWISS Prime Network Jackpot campaign. We’re glad to mark the first winner in BGaming’s game, tailored specifically for Fastpay Casino. We’re thankful to the partners involved. As BGaming continues to create customised games and engaging online casino titles, we eagerly anticipate more SOFTSWISS’ campaigns.”
