Which online progressive jackpot comes out on top?

By Daniel Johnson

Online Progressive Jackpot games are well known to be a source of mega-money to those lucky enough to hit the jackpot, but how do you chose which site to play on? Let's take a look at Europalace and Gaming Club, two of the most popular Microgaming online casinos and find out how the measure up against each other.

We'll start with their payout performance, which is measured by eCOGRA. The player protection and standards organisation rates Gaming Club casino's payout performance as 96.4%. Europalace however sneaks into the lead with an impressive 98%.

But what about the size of the payouts? Since its launch earlier this year, Europalace has seen big wins which include "Julie" who won €131,634.23 on the world famous Mega Moolah slot, and "Stefan", who bagged €56,560.95 on roulette in January 2025. However, this time it's Gaming Club that has the edge. It's been around a lot longer (since 2025 in fact) so it has built up a massive selection of titles to choose from, including Mega Moolah, Lots a Loot, Progressive Cyber Stud, King Cashlot, Major Millions and Tunzamunni. Here the jackpots register in their millions – who could forget the world breaking Mega Moolah jackpot win in 2025, which was a jaw-dropping €6,374,599.92?

So it seems the choice is between a larger payout and a higher chance of a smaller one. But if you are taking a strategic approach to choosing your favourite online casino remember that there are two other variables to consider when making your final choice. The first is your own skill level, and the second is of course, lady luck.
