The latest big online casino jackpot to be won comes from none other than via the Playtech network. Striking at approximately $1.7 million, this jackpot is nothing to scoff at. It was nabbed by a player going by the screen name of TengB at the Asian-facing Mansion Casino. The game responsible was the wildly popular and active Gold Rally video slot.

For anyone unfamiliar with Gold Rally, as you might surmise from the name, it is themed around the Wild West - and not just the cacti and sagebrush. If you look at the track record of this five-reel, eight-line machine, the part about finding gold and getting rich is more relevant. According to Playtech, who offers Gold Rally’s progressive jackpot to its large network online casino licensees, the game has paid out over $33 million in winnings to date.

Another great thing about Gold Rally is that it’s available for download on Playtech’s mobile online casino platform (along with other popular slots, video poker, blackjack and roulette). This particular $1.7 million jackpot wasn’t won from a cell phone; However, that doesn’t mean it didn’t have as equal a chance of doing so. Mobile gaming is growing fast, and offers the same heightened security, fairness and sharp graphics you would expect from a PC, which still accounts for the the majority of online gambling traffic, no matter the online casino game being played.

Playtech online casinos like Golden Palace (see our Golden Palace Casino Review), offer players the opportunity to play from both a PC and mobile phone under the same account. All one has to do is go online with each device, download the software, and login with a username and password. Golden Palace also offers a no-download Flash Casino and a stand-alone poker room, which is partnered with Playtech’s iPoker Network. And guess what else? Golden Palace offers the Gold Rally progressive video slot.
