A small winning streak for United States online casino players has taken place this weekend. Two online progressive jackpots have been hit, one of which was hit for the whopping amount of $261,375.

Online casino jackpot hits had been somewhat slow recently at US friendly online casinos. Things changed for the better for US players this past Thursday, heading for a great weekend of online gaming, when one lucky online casino player found themselves more than quarter of a million dollars richer than they had been only seconds before.

The online casino jackpot was hit on the Mega Money Mine progressive slot game. Mega Money Mine is a three reel progressive slot with a single payline. Betting ranges from $1.50 to $4.50, with the progressive jackpot only won when the player plays the maximum bet, which is a total of three coins. Mega Money Mine is a simple and straightforward slot game to play, and is best for those who are aiming for a decent sized jackpot.

The Mega Money Mine progressive slot game is found in Vegas Technology-powered online casinos, such as Golden Casino and Online Vegas Casino. The Mega Money Mine progressive was last hit about a month and a half previously, during the summer at a similar, but slightly higher value of $271,000. It has been reset and is currently worth nearly $28,000.

Another online progressive jackpot hit that took place at a US friendly online casino this weekend occurred late Saturday afternoon. This time, the win took place on the popular Let 'Em Ride poker game. Let 'Em Ride is found at many online casinos, however, this time, the jackpot was hit at a Real Time Gaming online casino.

While the Let 'Em Ride jackpot win was nowhere near the quarter of a million dollars won on the Mega Money Mine online progressive slot game, it was still a very respectable sum for an online casino player to win. The lucky player won a total of $27,787 in the Let 'Em Ride progressive jackpot game.

Let 'Em Ride is not only an extremely popular game amongst players, the progressive jackpot is also hit quite often, and while not necessarily turning players into millionaires, the amounts won certainly makes the players very happy.

Unfortunately, the names and locations of the winners, as well as at which online casinos the wins occurred, have not yet been released at the time of writing this article.
