Scientific Games has released the first ever online progressive jackpot that you can hunt for with other players. Such a collective pursuit increases the chances that you will get a piece of the winnings. After all, having united, the probability of breaking the coveted prize increases. And the more players, the more likely it is to win.
The first slot to implement this feature was Nessie's Mega Drop Quest. But for some time it will be available exclusively at the Betsson casino. Although it is reported that in January there will be a general launch. And only in certain markets, separate release dates will be announced later.
The slot machine offers three progressive jackpots of the Mega Drop series: Minor, Major, Epic. Not one, but many slots are connected to this jackpot. While little is known about how this will work, but apparently, the player will have a choice of teams that he can join. And if the team hits the jackpot, it will be divided in proportion to the contribution of each participant.
This is another step towards adding a social dimension to online gambling. The term "social gaming" is increasingly heard in the conversations of industry experts, and some predict that this direction is the future of online casinos. Scientific Games representative Dylan Slaney commented:
It's important that we, as vendors, leverage syndicates and help create solutions that make social gaming easier, accessible and fun for all players. This was one of the biggest challenges our team has worked on, and we feel like we've accomplished it by offering something much more than a "big win". We are proud to present a product that reflects our platform's focus on the community and are excited to partner with Betsson on our first release.
