Lucky player wins £1m Millionaire Genie progressive jackpot

One lucky slot player took home a $1.5m (£1m) jackpot from the Millionaire Genie progressive jackpot slot this week – one of the richest prizes handed out in the past couple of months. Meanwhile, there are a host of progressive jackpots that have risen above the £2m mark, including Playtech’s Jackpot Giant, which has a current top prize equivalent to £6.7m.

Millionaire Genie was launched in 2013. Developed by Random Logic, the game is exclusive to 888 Casino. Its average jackpot size is around £1.5m, and while that doesn’t match up to some of the biggest progressives, somebody wins the jackpot, on average, every few months, which is more frequent than with a lot of games. 

The jackpot seeds at £560,000, and the game has changed in the years since its launch. For a start, while it was originally designed as a very classic three-reel slot, its latest iteration is a five-reel, modern online slot game. 

Millionaire Genie’s progressive jackpot can also now be won on a range of different machines like Mad Max Fury Road, Irish Riches, Rise of the Pharaohs, and Santa’s Super Slot. 

Winning the jackpot doesn’t rely on any bonus features, bonus games, or bonus buys – on all machines, the aim is to land five jackpot symbols in a row. This easy jackpot mechanic is a relief for players who prefer basic gameplay, rather than complex requirements.

Currently, one of the largest progressive jackpots online is the Jackpot Giant progressive. The prize stands at €7.8m, or roughly £6.8m. Developed by Playtech, the game hasn’t paid out for more than five years, leading to the huge potential prize. It is also difficult to find, really only available at the bet365 website. 

Other sizeable jackpots include: 

• Joker Millions (£2.8m)
• Hall Of Gods Mega (£2.6m)
• Jackpot King (£2.6m)
• Shopping Spree (£2.4m)
• King Cashalot (£2.2m)
• Leprechaun’s Luck (£2.2m) 
• Mega Moolah Mega (£2.1m)

Progressive jackpot slots are popular for their potentially life-changing prizes. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest ever payout was just over £13m, which was won by British bettor Jon Heywood. 

He won the prize playing the Mega Moolah slot from Microgaming in 2015. Mega Moolah regularly crops up in the list of largest jackpots ever paid, and approximately three months ago, one player walked away with an £8.5m jackpot. The jackpot manages to reach such huge figures because the online slot is found at a wide range of online casinos. 

Try your hand at winning the current £2.1m Mega Moolah jackpot at All British Casino now. 

The jackpot seeds at £1m and has been won dozens of times, with the jackpot paid out, on average, every couple of months. As well as being available across different casinos, the Mega Moolah Mega jackpot is also available on other games. 

Players can also win the Mega Moolah Major jackpot on the same games. Although this jackpot doesn’t reach millions of pounds, it has paid out more than £100,000 on multiple occasions and is usually won every day.
