Last week the twelve casinos of the Casinos Austria Group were connected to ATRONIC International’s Wide Area Progressive (WAP) eMILLIONS to offer the highest jackpot in Austria. 140 e² machines are now linked and just three days after the ‘MEGA MILLION JACKPOT’ went live a lucky local player hit a prize of just over €1 million at Casino Linz on 12 September.

On September 9th, 2009 at 19:00h the jackpot was launched nationwide with the main celebration at Grand Casino Baden where Casinos Austria CEO Dr. Karl Stoss and Austrian swimmer Fabienne Nadarajah cut the ribbon during the festive ceremony and officially started game play. In his speech, Casinos Austria CEO Dr. Karl Stoss thanked the ATRONIC team for the excellent cooperation between the project teams of Casinos Austria and ATRONIC and mentioned the importance of this cooperation for the Austrian economy.

“It is one of our core principles to cooperate with local suppliers wherever possible in order to strengthen the Austrian economy and its competitiveness. We are therefore very pleased about this excellent cooperation with ATRONIC, an international gaming company with its R&D Centre and production facility located in Styria.”

Thierry Aiglon, COO ATRONIC International added: “We are of course delighted that Casinos Austria has chosen ATRONIC as the machines and systems supplier for their new MEGA MILLION JACKPOT. With the combination of e² machines, the GALAXIS system and the latest eMILLIONS games, all customized to their specific requirements, Casinos Austria has a unique combination of machines, games and systems components that cannot be found in any other casino in the world.”

The project teams of Casinos Austria and ATRONIC worked closely together to customize the eMILIONS WAP to the specific needs and requirements of Casinos Austria. For example, the top winning combination triggering the MEGA MILLION JACKPOT consists of five Casinos Austria logos. The MEGA MILLION JACKPOT offers Casinos Austria players the chance of a lifetime to become millionaires. Guests have the chance to play MEGA MILLION on five Euro Cent machines offering a minimum jackpot of two million credits equating to a €100,000 prize. Players playing max bet have the fantastic chance of taking away a minimum €1 million prize! (E-09.15.09)
