Major Millions Kicks Off 2018 with a Big $1.9 Million Score

Major Millions, one of the best-known progressive slots by Microgaming has kicked off the year in style, awarding a big jackpot of almost $1.9 million to a lucky winner just few days ago. Although the details about the winner and the casino where the win took place are still unknown, we can say with certainty that the big score did happen.

Right Slot at the Right Time

Whoever the lucky player may be, he or she picked the right moment to try their luck playing the Major Millions slot. While we’re still waiting the official confirmation from Microgaming, it is fairly certain that the win was well over $1.8 million, making this the second-biggest Major Millions progressive jackpot payout to date.

Although winning a jackpot is always lucky, Lady Luck was particularly favorable to the latest winner as the average jackpot amount stands at $610,000. In fact, the biggest win on Major Millions is $1,945,884, so their timing was just perfect.

Classic Reels or Video Slot?

For those less familiar with this particular jackpot slot, Major Millions comes in two different variations. The early one features just three reels and three paylines like a majority of classic slots out there. The newer game variation is a proper video slot with three rows, five reels, and 15 paylines across.

Both machines share the same jackpot gradually accumulated across the network of Microgaming online casinos. Players are at liberty to choose the game variation they prefer more without reducing their chances of winning a jackpot.

At this point in time, we don’t know if the lucky winner was playing on the classic or modern Major Millions slot. The video slot is certainly more popular with the players these days but there are those who prefer the simplicity of good, old 3-reelers.

Either way, if early indicators are anything to go by, 2018 will be another good year for jackpot winners. Let’s hope the nearly record-breaking win at Major Millions is the sign of things to come in the following months.
