Major Millions multi currency

[jpm]

I understand now Sodax, very interesting. Looks like there could be a little puffery going on with these jackpot wins, depending on what currency you play. You login as a euro player and see that someone won 250,000 euros, but they actually won in rands. BIG difference! I wonder if that kind of information really encourages anyone to play that game though.

LOL...

The Awesome Jackpots number is the one put out by the Jackpot Madness servers when it is live - and extrapolated, but the figure is US dollars.

The Jackpot Madness one takes that figure and multiplies/divides it by the currency of play.

So, the jackpot was worth over $1.7 million dollars... but the more accurate figure is the Awesome Jackpots one Go figure...

I will contact Microgaming about this as it is bound to create a lot of confusion... can we call the new winner the biggest ever winner, or doesn't it count because he happened to be playing in Euros?

[Sodax77]

I agree (part of)

Meanwhile i can say one thing:
Truth: When Joaquim M. hit Major Millions Jackpot,
he won 1,453,590.34 CREDITS to his account (without currency symbol).
Microgaming casinos does not show your balance or progressive amount with currency symbol, in game or lobby (only in banking page, etc).

Maybe next winner is Rand-account owner

Yesterday i sent letter about these 3 identical pop up (only different currency)
And i got letter, here is (part of) their answer:
-------
...Thank you for your email. At your request we logged a call with MicroGaming to
investigate this matter and, they have not as yet responded, however we will
advise you as soon as they do. We do apologize for any inconvenience caused,
however we will rectify the matter as soon as possible. We thank you in advance
for your patience and understanding on this matter..."

I really like VPL casinos and their support, they always answer (asap).

Here is one more:
About week ago, i sent letter about their own promotion "mistake" and i got nice letter, and i like this:
"Importance: High"

And here is (part of) their answer:
------
"...We do appreciate you pointing this out to us so that we may correct the information accordingly. We will notify you as soon as we have corrected all the information..."
------

So now is Microgaming's turn

It was hit at jackpot city, so I think it was in $$. I don't think they offer euros there, but I'm pretty sure they have pound players so maybe they do offer euros.

Go this page, and tell me what you see

Wait, until page is ready...

Yup, the popup says it was won in Euros. Nice jackpot then, probably the biggest in internet history so far when you convert it to $$ on the day of the win.
