Just when most players at Playtech online casinos had given up on Jackpot Giant progressive, it delivered a huge hit. The jackpot amount had plateaued after crossing the $12 million mark as traffic petered out on this slot machine. But a few persisted and one lucky player was richer by $12,305,243 on 20 October 2018.

The name of the winner has not yet been revealed, nor the online casino that delivered the hit. These may be put in the public domain in the coming days along with the reactions of the winner and how he or she intends to spend the massive windfall. Or the details may never be known if the winner wishes to remain anonymous. But one thing is for sure. There will be rekindled interest on Jackpot Giant at Playtech online casinos.

This is only the second hit on Jackpot Giant since its release. The first was in January 2016 when an unnamed female player from Glasgow took home $6,420,011 playing at Gala Bingo. But more details are available about this win. The player, a librarian, hit the progressive jackpot from a mobile device. This is what she said, "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. 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." After being reset to its base value, the progressive jackpot ticker has risen to $217,303. It has a long way to go before it reaches a million, but hopefully the ascent will be faster this time.

In the shadow of Jackpot Giant, another more popular Playtech progressive jackpot video slot has delivered a million plus hit. Beach Life was hit for $3,063,865 on 26 October 2018. This is just a bit short of its average hit. The biggest hit on Beach Life was for $8,211,861 in February 2012. The progressive jackpot hits on an average twice a year. Though Beach Life seeds at only $50,000, the smallest win has been over $500,000 and the last five wins have been in millions.

Both Jackpot Giant and Beach Life can be played at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. Both are online casinos of good standing that offer regular promotions and exciting welcome offers to new players.
