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.

I have to wonder, every time I hear about one of these big, online wins, if perhaps, this punter, could be an lcb member and just doesn't want to give away his or her identity, for obvious reasons! Really, when you think about it, lcb's prodigious membership spreads far and wide. The chances that this winner is an lcb...
I have to wonder, every time I hear about one of these big, online wins, if perhaps, this punter, could be an lcb member and just doesn't want to give away his or her identity, for obvious reasons! Really, when you think about it, lcb's prodigious membership spreads far and wide. The chances that this winner is an lcb member, maybe even an active member, is quite plausible. They may even have been playing at Leo Vegas because of an article posted, or a bonus that was offered at this site. Gamblers are a special community of people, always excited to see another player emerge victorious, giving the winner their sincere congratulations. Hats off to this lucky winner! The big win, reiterates that playing these games can sometimes end in more than just our entertainment.

50 cent spin wins ~8 million euros?? On a smart phone?? I can't stand playing online on my phone. Maybe I need to rethink my strategy a bit and start to adopt a more "mobile friendly" approach. Oh yeah, that, and change my place of residence to Sweden, as it appears only Swedes ever win these types of crazy "life changing"...

Oh what a coincidence, Swedish software, Swedish site and a Swede who hit the progressive Jackpot. Now where did I hear that before. Sweden the Eyes and Ears of the Shadowy Intelligence Agencies the world over especially in cahoots with the NSA.. I guess the progressive is payback for all the personal information they hand over to the Five EYES of every online player. Last I heard Edward Snowden was alive and well livng in Russia
