Starting May 21st, Playtech's bingo licensees gave away prizes ranging from GBP25 to
GBP25,000 through 10 selected slot games with progressive jackpots. By the end of the
promotion, almost 40,000 individual prizes were distributed.
In addition to the GBP2.5m progressive jackpot promotion, there was a single
progressive jackpot win of GBP1,364,745.23 six weeks into the promotion on Playtech
bingo's hugely popular Clover Rollover slot. This is the network's third biggest payout to
date in a single prize.
Playtech's bingo network is the world's largest online bingo network with over 25
licensees operating major bingo brands such as Mecca Bingo, William Hill Bingo, Ladbrokes
Bingo, Sky Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo, Maria Bingo, bet365 Bingo and many more.
Andrew Steddy, Head of Bingo Networks, said "We were delighted to deliver another
unique market leading promotion for our licensees. Yet again, Playtech's ability to share
liquidity across our entire network allowed us to offer self-funding promotions and prizes
that are unparalleled in the bingo market. That a player on the network has won a single
jackpot of over GBP1.3m in addition to the GBP2.5m slots promotion clearly demonstrates
once more that Playtech is at the forefront of delivering value through networked gaming
solutions".
