Progressive jackpot history
Who doesn't love a good soap opera? Those of use who spend the afternoons at home often times find ourselves glued to the television set, catching the latest drama to unfold from characters that have graced the screen for decades. In the UK the most popular soap opera is likely Coronation Street, which originally debuted in 1960 and is continuing to go strong on the broadcast network ITV. Internet betting software developer Virtue Fusion has developed a slot based on the popular soap for the Gala Coral group of casinos, and added a large progressive prize to the game, which it dubs the Coronation Street Jackpot.
The Coronation Street Jackpot is won when a player unveils 5 "Coronation Street" symbols on the reels. The jackpot will either pay out 100% of the pool or a lower percentage of the game, depending on what wager you make. A £1 stake pays 100% of the jackpot, a 75p wager takes 75% of the jackpot, a 50p wager pays 50% of the jackpot, and so on down to a 10p wager that takes home 10% of the jackpot.
The Coronation Street slot itself if a 5 reel, 5 payline game that features the fake town of Weatherfield and follows the various citizens as they go about their lives. The symbols of the game are made up of various shop fronts such as Roy's Rolls, Street Cars, the Café, The Kabin Newspaper, and other locales.

If you are a fan of the series though, Coronation Street is a fun game that offers a huge cash prize to its players.
