One of Microgaming's best known and most loved progressive jackpots, Mega Moolah, was reportedly hit earlier in October by a player from Rewards Casino. Only identified as A.D so far, this lucky player apparently walked away with a staggering €3.85 million ($5.2 million).

Prizes of this size are typically transferred to the winner through staggered annuity payments but in case particular case, the anonymous winner will have his pockets instantly lined with the massive amounts of cash. The winner, however, is not only so remarkable because of the sheer size of the prize, but also because the player only placed a 50 cent bet and while using free casino bonus money.

The minimum top prize is a guaranteed 1 million dollars and the jackpots simply increases from there until it has been hit.

Although Class 1 Casino was unavailable since October 11, when Playtech shut down its gaming services the online casino has now posted a note on its site, announcing it "temporarily unavailable." The Class 1 Casino has enjoyed a good run over the past couple of years. It had run on the Playtech software platform and was quick to launch the latest games and constantly updating promotions. Its shut down was unfortunate. It has also upset its players and affiliates who, for 2 full weeks, felt out of the loop as the casino became unavailable. Class 1 claim they were hoping to reach an agreement with Playtech, which would allow them to go back to operations as usual. However, as that was taking time, and the results haven't arrived, they eventually sent out an email on October 26, and yesterday posted the following note on their site: "Class 1 Casino is temporarily unavailable. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Class 1 Casino team" Temporarily? We will continue reporting future developments. For our readers - players and affiliates alike.

Germany still poses a challenge for European online gambling regulators, even though the country has introduced industry reformed following European Commission objections about the nature of its gambling regulations.Proposed Tax LoweredFifteen of Germany's 16 federal states agreed last week to reduce a proposed 16.6 percent online gambling turnover tax to just 5%, and in addition they announced that they would issue 20 licenses instead of the original promise of seven. However, the new regulations would ban all online casino and poker games.In any case, the tax reduction still falls short of what the one remaining state - Schleswig Holstein, decided months ago in its own gambling legislation. The northern state decided on a 20% gross profits tax, which although higher than the turnover tax is seen as more favourable by operators.Gaming Operators ReactEuropean online gambling operator Bwin.Party called last Thursday's announcement "a step forward," but said it was important to find a solution in line with market realities and compliant with EU law.Betfair was more critical, saying the proposals were "incompatible" with EU law and added that the final makeup of the new state treaty on gambling "remains uncertain."The CEO of Remote Gambling Association (RGA), the largest trade association in the world for internet gambling operators, said the attitude of the German states was disappointing, pointing out that it severely limits betting amounts and prohibits online casinos, poker rooms and live betting.European Commission ConcernedLast week's revised regulations followed an announcement from the European Commission expressing concern that the original proposals violated the freedom of companies to offer services in the European Union. The Commission is yet to react formally to the latest proposals.From an online gambling perspective, the new proposals are obviously an improvement, but they still do not go far enough and therefore it's hard to say whether things will change for the better.
