LeoVegas Player Picks Up Nearly €3 Million on Joker Millions

Joker Millions is a fairly new progressive slot, released in 2015, and had, up until recently, paid out its jackpot twice, never hitting a million (the first win was €460,000, the second was €720,000 so they’ve not exactly been small victories) but nothing has come close to what happened recently.

Joker Millions is a fairly new progressive slot, released in 2015, and had, up until recently, paid out its jackpot twice, never hitting a million (the first win was €460,000, the second was €720,000 so they’ve not exactly been small victories) but nothing has come close to what happened recently. 

Joker Millionaire!

 A 21-year-old gentleman from Oslo by the name of Chris was waiting outside a shop while his girlfriend bought some apples. While he had a moment, he thought he’d have a quick spin on Joker Millions at €1.25 a spin, before his girlfriend got out of the shop, Chris was €2,881,257 richer! Joker Millions

The winners plans

Despite his young years, Chris seems to be very responsible in what he is planning to do with the money, intending to invest in two apartments.Although he has also made it clear that he intends to take his girlfriend on a holiday to the Maldives as a celebration, where one feels she will be welcome to buy much more than apples!
