With a host of impressive progressive jackpot slots available online, it seems that very little time passes before news of the next overnight millionaire reaches us, and it’s happened again!This time the win was at Sky Vegas, and it might not be at one of the games you assume it would.Normally at times like this, the news is that NetEnt slots such as Mega Moolah or Millionaire Fortune have paid out big, but this time it was Blueprint Gaming’s Pig Wizard, a game that has only very recently been re-released by Blueprint, that had the honour of making someone very, very rich.Sky Vegas Makes a Millionaire with £3.1 Million Jackpot

How it happened

The £3.1 million win, which is thought to be the largest in the history of the Sky Vegas site, came with a 20p spin on the Pig Wizard slot.The prize was won on the Jackpot King jackpot game, the second time in history that has happened, after another player picked up a £1.6 million win.Blueprint are less used to such events in comparison to the likes of NetEnt, so they were unsurprisingly overjoyed at the news, with managing director Matt Cole saying:“This is a life-changing amount of money and the largest jackpot ever to be won from Jackpot King.We’re delighted for the player and even more so that the win was on The Pig Wizard, a game that was only re-launched a short while ago.”Sky Vegas Makes a Millionaire with £3.1 Million Jackpot

Pig Wizard

A five-reel, 20 payline progressive jackpot slot, Pig Wizard is often referred to by the affectionate nickname of Harry Trotter.The game is themes around magic, and of course a pig, and has a variety of features, but it is the Jackpot King that is the most impressive, as this latest win proves!
