Swedish player scoops €7.8m win on the Joker Millions slot

Everybody loves a good millionaire story, and this month, Yggdrasil dished out the largest progressive jackpot prize yet. The lucky Swedish player – who will no doubt be celebrating Christmas early this year – managed to bag a cool €7.8m playing the Scandinavian casino software providers Joker Millions slot earlier this month.

Biggest payout so far

Yggdrasil Gaming’s Joker Millions slot is no stranger to dishing out major progressive jackpot prizes. In fact, with the latest win included, over €26.9m has been paid out to lucky winners on the slot. However, the latest win tips the scales and is the largest yet paid to any player on the retro-looking slot machine.

About the slot

Launched in 2015, Joker Millions is played over 5 reels and 25 paylines, with bets typically ranging from 0.25 up to 25.00 a game. There are special features, but to win the top prize, players need to fill the reels with scatter icons, which is no small feat.

Stroke of luck

The lucky winner was reportedly playing over at LeoVegas Casino on his phone when he scooped the big win. Spinning the reels for around 0.40 per spin, the player managed to bag reels filled with scatters to take home the top prize earlier this month, on November 9. Although the venue of the win, the nationality of the player, and the game the progressive jackpot has been won on have been disclosed, precious few other details have yet emerged.

Building up

Since the big win, the Joker Millions progressive jackpot has dropped back to its base minimum. It has however, risen considerably over the last week, and is approaching the €2 million mark at the time of writing. One can only imagine that it won’t be too long before this progressive jackpot makes another millionaire, and next time it might be you.
