Playtech’s Gladiator jackpot creates millionaire

We very rarely get to tell you about other big progressives being won aside from NetEnt and Microgaming jackpots. Now Playtech’s Gladiator created a millionaire.

Playtech’s Gladiator

The Gladiator slot from Playtech comes with a progressive jackpot as so many of their games do. But this one is among those that manage to climb into seven figures, creating happy millionaires if they’re won. The slot is based on the hit blockbuster “Gladiator” with Russell Crowe.

In order to achieve that, you first need to trigger the bonus game by way of landing three gladiator helmets on the three middle reels. During the bonus round, a total of 9 helmets are randomly added to the reels. They can be bronze, silver and gold and are assigned random coin values. Once the bonus round ends, the coin values are added together and paid out. If, however, all 9 helmets happen to be gold, you will have hit the jackpot, which is then paid out in full.

Nearly £1,4 million won

This is precisely what happened to a lucky British winner at one of Playtech’s casinos (Slots Heaven). The man, whose name is David, woke up in the middle of the night and decided to play a few rounds before hitting it big. He probably thought he was still dreaming when his screen showed him that he’d won an incredible £1,371,621.61.

In an interview, David said that he wasn’t planning on doing anything fancy with the money. But he does have two grown sons and wants to give both of them enough of the money to set them up for life.

Obviously, it would take a little more than £1.4 million to set anyone up for life. But we assume that he simply wants to enable his sons to get a head start and £500k should do nicely in that case.

Be that as it may, clearly not just NetEnt’s or Microgaming’s jackpots are available for play. Other developers have great progressives as well and occasionally they create millionaires as well.
