Magic Jackpot powered by Atronic rewards couple with 5.5 million euros

The jackpot hit in the Casino Bagnères-de-Bigorre, from Groupe Tranchant (Hautes-Pyrenees). The “Magic Casinos Jackpot” was officially launched on September 18, 2009. This WAP is based on the well-known StarlJackpot software and Crystal Web floor network solution. The jackpot generates enormous excitement, because a small bet can pay big: players wager a minimum of 3 credits of 0.50 Euros (for a total of 1.5 Euros) to qualify for a jackpot of several million Euros.

The fact that more than half the casinos in France have joined together to offer the country’s first truly national progressive jackpot also ensures a very high re-start value of 2.7 million Euros after this jackpot hit. A total of 331 slot machines across 100 casinos are connected. The joint venture includes 5 of the largest casino groups and 19 independent casinos, which are being represented by the Groupe d'intérêt économique (GIE). 

Atronic’s Systems Division administrates the jackpot 24/7 and is subject to very strict regulations. The jackpot administration includes daily meter reconciliation against system participation, hit management and regulatory reporting, as well as all accounting participation increments.

This is another example of the firm’s unique WAP expertise, which can be easily deployed in any casino. Atronic offers the full scope of wide area progressive solutions, from just StarlJackpot and Crystal Web installation to a full turnkey solution that includes machines, systems and administration.
