Scottish Player Wins UK’s Largest Ever Mobile Jackpot

February 2, 2016

Towards the end of January 2016, a female Scottish player (who wishes to remain anonymous) won the UK’s largest ever mobile jackpot while playing on a game called Jackpot Giant. This is one of several progressive jackpot slots from a leading online casino software provider called Playtech and the lucky librarian from Glasgow actually won on her Android Galaxy S5.

She was playing at a Playtech powered gaming site called Galabingo and she managed to turn a £4.00 bet in to a mouth-watering £4.5 million. “I picked up my mobile and started playing while I was watching TV. Minutes later I saw a huge string of numbers coming up and realised I’d hit the jackpot,” said the winner. She continued, “I was simply blown away and couldn’t believe I’d won. It’s still sinking in and my family and I are still in a complete state of shock.”

Let’s take a look at how much this equates to in several other major currencies. The spin would have cost approximately US$5.5 / €5.00 / NZ$9.00 / CA$8.00 / AU$8.00 and the amount that she won would have converted to roughly US$6.50 million / €6.00 million / NZ$10.00 million / CA$9.00 million / AU$9.00 million. The jackpot on this game can only ever be won when five of the Gold Tablet Wild Symbols land in consecutive order across all five reels and on payline number 1.

At the time of writing, this jackpot is now worth approximately £130,079 / US$187,133 / €171,586 / NZ$286,929 / CA$261,982 / AU$264,692 and you can find this game at any of our top-rated Playtech casinos. The best Playtech casinos for UK players include Paddy Power Casino, bet365 Casino and Mansion Casino and for European, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian players, one of the best Playtech casinos is Omni Casino. Unfortunately at the time of writing, US players do not yet have access to any Playtech powered casinos.

The Chief Operating Officer of Playtech, Shimon Akad, also commented on this historic win, saying, “To claim the UK mobile slot jackpot record is fantastic and proves we lead the industry when it comes to progressive jackpot games. I’d like to also congratulate Gala Bingo and their winning player.” He then went on to say, “This is yet another great reason to be part of Playtech, the gaming industry’s leading and most dynamic omni-channel company.”
