Player scoops $5m USDT online slot jackpot on CLAPS Casino

One online casino player has scooped a $5m jackpot, paid in USD Tether cryptocurrency, from a $500 slot spin. The player landed the 10,000x jackpot playing the Sweet Bonanza 1000 online slot at the CLAPS Casino. 

Crypto casinos have grown in popularity over the past few years as crypto technology has become more accessible, and specialist online casinos more prevalent.

Sites like stake.com have forged a path for other sites to follow, even entering big-money sponsorship deals with the likes of Formula 1’s Sauber and Everton in the Premier League, although the latter deal did land the football club in hot water with the UK Gambling Commission. 

Where stake.com led, others have followed, and crypto casinos took more than £60bn in revenue in 2024. 

The launch of CLAPS Casino in 2024 had already made waves within the industry. The site’s streamlined gaming experience and its lack of Know Your Customer (KYC) registration requirements have seen its popularity grow.

News that it has paid out one of the year’s biggest online casino hauls will help further enhance visibility. 

One lucky player staked the maximum allowed $500 on a single Sweet Bonanza 1000 spin. After doing so, their spin resulted in a series of tumble wins, resulting in the player reaching the 10,000x multiplier.

They picked up a $5m prize – the largest allowed by the game’s terms and conditions on the CLAPS site. The prize-winning spin came under normal play and not during any bonus rounds or using any bonus buys. 

Sweet Bonanza 1000 is an updated variant of Pragmatic Play’s original Sweet Bonanza game. The game has a 6x5 grid style and it pays for clusters of symbols, rather than the traditional win lines used by a lot of slots. 

The maximum payout for the game, which is also available at traditional online casinos like Betfred Casino, is actually listed as 25,000x the stake, and the massive payout potential gives the game a high volatility rating and an RTP of 96.53%. 

The title’s tumble mechanics, which helped the lucky player win the $5m jackpot, blasts symbols from the screen, replacing them with new symbols. If another win appears, the new symbols are blasted in the same way, and the process continues until there is no new win.

With this feature, the player managed to keep hitting multipliers and amassing the massive payout. It is possible to buy free spins and super free spins, although that wasn’t necessary for this latest win.

CLAPS Casino was established in 2024 and is licensed in Anjouan, Union of Comoros. It accepts deposits in more than a dozen cryptocurrencies and, as well as games from Pragmatic Play, it has titles from other tier-1 providers including Evolution and Hacksaw Gaming. Players can access table games and slots, as well as a crypto sportsbook.
