A million dollars certainly made somebody’s Christmas a very merry one. That is exactly what happened, when RTG’s Megasaur slot recently paid out £676,324 to one lucky player, or $1,051,455, if you want to look at it another way.

Fantastic Belated Christmas Present

Christmas can be such a costly time of year, so this belated Christmas present will surely put its winner back in the black. The jackpot scoop is the very first time that RealTime Gaming’s Megasaur slot has paid out a progressive jackpot. The slot itself is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot, and is the sequel to RTG’s similarly dinosaur themed game, T-Rex.When playing the game, players will find that both the Green Megasaur and the Red Megasaur are wilds, and there is also a cracking free spins bonus, which can see players land up to 50 free games. Then, there is that jackpot, too. In fact, there are both Major and Minor Jackpots in this prehistoric themed slot.

4th On the RTG’S Highest payout list

But how does the win compare with other RTG slots? This singular jackpot pay-out actually ranks pretty high up the list. The New Year pay-out was fourth on RTG’s highest progressive jackpot cash-out list. You’d have to travel back to December 2011 to find the biggest ever win, when another Christmas cracker paid out $1,244,529 on the Shopping Spree progressive jackpot slot.Due to the win being just days ago, RealTime Gaming have not formerly commented on the win, and very little is known about the new millionaire. Even the name of the casino where the jackpot has been won has not yet been released, although rumours are rife that it was an American player who scooped the prize, which is a rarity in and of itself in these days. RTG is expected to announce the win within the next few days.
