Online casino players have been having a great time this festive season. Many players have more leisure time on their hands since they are off work for the holidays. Those who enjoy online casino games will find time for both family and friends, and their favorite online casinos.

For one lucky player at an online casino powered by Playtech’s online casino software, Christmas Day brought with it a great gift - a jackpot win of $220,335. Winning a jackpot of this size is certain to help the lucky winner have a very Merry Christmas!

The jackpot win was won on the Wall Street Fever game. This is an online casino progressive slot game, which brought with it the second highest Playtech slot jackpot prize to be won this year. The highest paying jackpot won at a Playtech-powered online casino this year was won about five months ago for nearly twice the amount of this Christmas Day progressive jackpot win.

With 2009 nearly over, Wall Street Fever has already paid out about $1.86 million to a number of lucky winners. Although the amount won by players has covered a fairly broad range, the online casino progressive slot game is hit about every 21 days, with an average payout of about $109k.

The Wall Street Fever 5 reel, 5 payline online progressive slot has a minimum bet of $0.10, and a maximum bet of $0.50. A full bet of $0.50 played per spin is required in order to win the full progressive jackpot amount. The progressive jackpot is won when all paylines are activated, and an enabled payline shows five Wall Street wild symbols. If only some of the paylines are activated, that is, when a player has not bet the maximum bet of $0.50, players will win 100,000 coins instead of the progressive jackpot amount.

Symbols for the Wall Street Fever game include mobile phones, briefcases, dollar bills, personal computers, and dollar signs. The game has a free spins bonus round, which is triggered by three or more scatter symbols. Players earn 50 free spins when they get five scatter symbols. It is possible for the free spins to be retriggered. There is also a second screen bonus game available.

With the excitement of a number of online casino tournaments taking place at many online casinos at this festive time, one wonders if those players that are spending time playing their favorite online progressive slot games, will also wind up winners. After a Christmas Day win, players will be waiting in anticipation to see if there might also be a large New Year’s Day win.
