Todd
Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, commented: "By Evolution
contributing the whole €1,000,000 to start the Jackpot, it is our way of saying
‘thank you’ to operators and players.”
"With the player volumes we see on Casino Hold’em this could potentially grow
to be bigger than all of the online progressive slots combined. That means it
could grow to in excess of €30 million, which will put it in contention to be
the biggest jackpot in the history of table games or slots. That sort of money
makes playing the game a lot more fun, and that is our mission with this
Jackpot version of Casino Hold’em,” Haushalter added.
The new Jumbo 7 Jackpot adds the attraction of the significant extra winnings through a simple side bet. The Jumbo 7 Jackpot side bet pays out to qualifying players (i.e. those who choose to place this side bet) even if the player folds or is beaten by the dealer’s hand in the main Casino Hold’em game.
With each
game played, the prize fund becomes progressively larger as a percentage of all
progressive Jumbo 7 Jackpot side bets placed on the Casino Hold’em table is
added to the Jackpot fund.
The top-level Jackpot prize is the full amount of the progressive Jumbo 7
Jackpot, which keeps growing until it is won with a 7 Card Straight Flush.
