Back Record Yggdrasil Jackpot Hit by LeoVegas Punter

Friday, November 9th will forever go down in Yggdrasil's history as well as the history of mobile gaming – for this is the date when one very lucky player changed their life for the better by winning a record-breaking sum playing Joker Millions slot on his smartphone.

The Swedish developer's flagship progressive jackpot slot yielded a total win of €7,831,262 million (SEK 80 million) and it was achieved by a LeoVegas Casino member.

A Stunning Win

The player's identity is still unknown (except for the fact that they're from Sweden), possibly due to his/her wish to remain anonymous, but some things are known about the manner in which the jackpot was scored.

For one, the player wagered only 5 SEK, which is about 50 cents...

...and such a small sum quickly multiplied by an unthinkable amount, totaling almost €8 million which is the amount that Joker Millions' progressive jackpot has risen to, and this was all performed on LeoVegas' mobile platform.

This marks the largest jackpot win ever on this slot game!

Yggdrasil has two global progressive jackpot games – including this one, which was launched in 2015. So far, the total sum of jackpots awarded through Yggdrasil's network stands at €26.9 million.

Creating Excitement

Yggdrasil's CEO, Fredrik Elmqvist, commented that Swedish company is thrilled to see someone win such a life-changing sum of money on their mobile game, particularly as the Christmas nears.

He added: “Joker Millions is our first progressive slot and it is beloved by both operators and players. With more operators continuing to join the Yggdrasil network, the jackpot will be building up again quickly.”

LeoVegas' Head of Casino James Ford stated himself: What a record win! Progressives like this always create excitement. We’ve been keeping a close eye on this one in anticipation that it would drop. We’re really happy it was triggered at LeoVegas and pass a huge congratulations on to our lucky player.”

Sources of Future Jackpots

In late October, Yggdrasil released the eerie Dark Vortex slot. This Malta-based subsidiary of Cherry AB, the biggest casino operator in Sweden which owns multiple casino domains, also entered the Finnish market via a deal with state operator, Veikkaus.

Prior to that, Yggdrasil's expansion into the regulated European market has continued with a very important business deal signed with Svenska Spel Sport & Casino according to which they will deliver a full suite of content to Swedish biggest operator.
