LeoVegas has confirmed that a Swedish player has won the monumental amount of €7,832,262 – a new record jackpot on the slot Joker Millions.
This slot’s progressive jackpot climbs into the millions on a regular basis, but rarely to this height, with the previous record standing at just over €5 million. The Swedish player in question, who was playing on their mobile device at the time, claimed this massive win from a bet of five Swedish Krona (€0.50).
Head of casino at LeoVegas, James Ford, said: “Progressives like this always create excitement. We’ve been keeping a close eye on this one in anticipation that it would drop. We’re really happy it was triggered at LeoVegas and pass a huge congratulations on to our lucky player.”
The progressive jackpot in Joker Millions continues to rise until it is won, meaning the longer the game goes without a win, the higher it becomes. Triggering this requires the player to land an entire screen of joker symbols during the jackpot spin bonus game.
Game provider Yggdrasil, which has recently developed the exclusive Pirates: Smugglers Paradise with LeoVegas, verified the winnings on Sunday evening. Yggdrasil’s CEO Fredrik Elmqvist said: “We are thrilled to see a player win such a life-changing sum of money, especially this close to Christmas and while playing one of our slots games on mobile.
“Joker Millions is our first progressive slot and it is beloved by both operators and players. With more operators continuing to join the Yggdrasil network, the jackpot will be building up again quickly.”
