The period before Christmas is always exciting for online casino players as most operators decide to introduce special bonuses and Christmas promotions which give players chances of winning some extra money. However, one player from Norway will definitely have a Christmas to remember after winning a massive prize worth over €1.1 million at Betsson Casino.
On the Saturday of 25th of November the lucky winner logged in to his Betsson account and started playing his favourite Yggdrasil slot – Empire Fortune. The player played the game on his smartphone, as he usually does. The winner chose not to reveal his identity, but we know that he is a 32-year-old man from Norway and that he is a regular at Betsson Casino.
The progressive jackpot was exceeding €1.1 million at the time of play, or to be more precise, it reached €1,117,443. The last time this jackpot was hit was July, when one player managed to win over €5 million, a record jackpot on this slot game. Empire Fortune shares the progressive pool with Joker Million and the two are among the most popular Yggdrasil slots.
Andy Broughton Braithwaite, who is currently a Director at Betsson Casino stated that many players enjoy playing Yggdrasil games at their casino, adding that most of them enjoy the innovative gaming features combined with the hefty jackpots that might change a player’s life in a matter of minutes.
Yggdrasil’s CEO was also thrilled, saying that the company’s jackpots have been rather lucrative in the past months and years and that Yggdrasil’s progressive games have paid out almost €10 million so far, adding that he expects that amount to grow pretty quickly.
All Yggdrasil progressive jackpot awards this year have been won by players who played on their smartphones and tablets, so it was a lucky year for mobile gaming. If you wish to try your luck on this or some other games, by Yggdrasil or another provider, visit Betsson Casino and start playing.
