A player at the online casino Casumo in Finland has won €3 million after hitting the jackpot on the progressive slot machine Joker Millions, developed by Yggdrasil Gaming. The lucky winner placed a mere 50-cent bet to become an instant millionaire.
According to the provider, this marks the third jackpot win in Yggdrasil's progressive jackpot system this year, with total payouts exceeding €14 million over the past ten months. A video of the jackpot win has been shared on the company's official YouTube channel, revealing that the player was using a mobile device to spin the reels.
Joker Millions is one of Yggdrasil Gaming's most popular video slots, having been launched in 2015 as part of the company's progressive jackpot network, which also includes the slot Empire Fortune. Notably, in November 2018, Joker Millions awarded a record-breaking jackpot of €7.8 million.
This jackpot win is the second major achievement in online casinos within the past week. On September 19, news broke of a €3.3 million win on the Mega Fortune slot machine by NetEnt.
