On April 4th, the Canadian province of Ontario introduced a legal and regulated online gambling industry for the first time. Players in Ontario now have access to games and products by a host of new operators, one of them being Microgaming.

The Isle of Man-based software giant launched over 300 exclusive games to the new market, some of them new titles, and others much loved games.

As a nod to Canada’s newest igaming market, Microgaming announced that it would be adding another jackpot to its Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network, to be called Maple Moolah.  The game will be exclusive to online gambling fans from Ontario, with a progressive jackpot seeded at an eye-popping $1 million!

Players can try their luck to win the jackpot on Gold Factory Jackpots Maple Moolah slot, a 5-reel, 25 pay line slot game with a very attractive steampunk style.  It is inspired by another one of Microgaming’s popular titles, Gold Factory.

James Buchanan, the head of games at Microgaming had this to say:

“Now the Ontario market has opened, we’re thrilled to reveal the industry’s newest jackpot, Maple Moolah, which has all the makings of a market-leader. With its entire prize pool ring-fenced for players in the province, we can’t wait to see the first Maple Moolah millionaire made!”
