A lucky slot player from the United Kingdom hit the largest yet mobile jackpot win on a progressive slot from Playtech. The anonymous winner is a librarian from Scotland. She scooped the Big One of the Jackpot Giant slot and collected a total of €5,890,641. The lucky librarian from Glasgow was playing this Playtech slot on her Samsung Galaxy S5 at the online gambling operator which is part of the Gala Coral Group when she set a new record for the largest mobile slot jackpot in the United Kingdom. The most amazing part is that she spent just £4 on her lucky spin.
“I picked up my smart phone and started playing the Jackpot Giant slot on it while watching TV. After several minutes I saw a long string of numbers. This was when I realized I had hit the game’s jackpot. I was blown away,” said the winner. “I still can’t believe that I won the jackpot. My family is also in a complete state of shock,” she added.
The big win is equal to 170 years pay based on the average salary in the UK. With the money she can buy 15 houses according to the prices in the UK or the first folio edition of Comedies, Histories and Tragedies by William Shakespeare.
The winner has been a loyal customer at Gala for three years and she frequently visits the online gaming site as well as the club. Despite the fact that she was blown away by the big jackpot win, she went to work the next day seemingly unaffected by it. “It’s still sinking in,” she said.
The win is the second largest on a Playtech progressive jackpot game following the one hit on the progressive slot Beach Life at £6.2 million in 2012. Those of you who want to see how the big jackpot win looks like can watch it here:
