The New Year is here, and many online casino players will be hoping for a rather bright start (and perhaps an early win) to the year. However, 2017 ended in style for one lucky casino player, who managed to land the final big progressive payout of the year, thanks to Microgaming’s Major Millions slot machine game.
On Thursday, December 28, one lucky player managed to scoop a rather impressive and considerable progressive jackpot prize by playing one of Microgaming’s progressive jackpot slot machines: Major Millions. This military-themed progressive is available in both 3-reel and 5-reel formats, although the latter triggered the big progressive win.
How it was won
By landing 5 of the wild symbols on the fifteenth payline (no small feat in and of itself) with a £3 wager, the player walked away with a progressive jackpot worth £1,203,264. The progressive jackpot prize is a little off what we are used to seeing from the game and quite a bit shy of the record payout on Major Millions, which stands at £1,945,884. Still, having £1.2 million in your back pocket as 2018 gets underway certainly isn’t too shabby by any standards.
The progressive jackpot slot typically pays out once every 6 weeks, with the default progressive prize set at £250,000. In the days since the win was recorded, the jackpot cash prize has already risen to £434,807, and it will only grow as more and more people try to kickstart their New Year with a major Microgaming progressive jackpot win. If you fancy your chances, you can find Major Millions at all the top online casino sites featuring Microgaming software.
