32Red.com, a UK-based online casino, has plenty to be excited about, after a female 32Red VIP player hit it big with a $1.9 million jackpot.  The lucky player won the jackpot after playing at 32Red’s King Cashalot progressive jackpot slot machine.  It was the 32nd time she had sat down in front of her PC at her Australasian home and visited the 32Red.com site and, coincidence or luck, 32 turned out to be her lucky number.  Within minutes of sitting down to play, she became an instant millionaire, as the five King Cashalot symbols slotted into place – winning her £1,000,641 ($1,987,698) for a bet of only £2.25.

Ed Ware, 32Red.com’s CEO and founder, was pleased with the news about the huge win – a win that is, thus far, one of the largest in online gambling history.  Commenting on the win, Ware said, "Everyone at 32Red is delighted at the good fortune bestowed upon one of our players. For this to be one of the biggest ever wins online is just amazing. Add to that it is the 32nd time she has played at 32Red, you have to say that 32 really is a lucky number for her!"

Also commenting on the win, the lucky player said, "I still can't believe it. I don't think it has sunk in. I'm numb! I remember almost in slow motion how the kings dropped into place and the jackpot window appeared. I'm still finding it difficult to believe that such good fortune could happen to me. Thank you 32Red!"

King Casholot is part of the Micrograming Progressive Jackpot Network and is just one of more than 20 progressive jackpots at 32Red.  It’s also the largest progressive jackpot offering on the Internet.
In a statement about the win, Microgaming’s CEO, Roger Raatgever, said, "This latest King Cashalot payout is the highest sum ever won on the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network and delivers our eleventh millionaire in less than four years. Our progressive has paid out over $225 million in winnings during this period and with the Mega Moolah progressive now sitting at over a million dollars, it won't be long before there is another player joining the millionaire club."
