Major Millions is a progressive jackpot slot from Microgaming. The game has five reels with 15 paylines. Despite being one of Microgaming’s earlier releases, Major Millions has retained its popularity among the newer, often fancier slot games to have arrived on the market since it was launched.
Theme
The Major of the title refers to a military ranking and the Major in question is a cheery looking old chap. All of the symbols reference the armed forces and include things like tanks, aeroplanes, ships, binoculars, medals of honour and top secret files. The slot has a cartoonish look with a blue background behind the reels.
Bonus Features
Being a rather old (but not yet dated) slot, Major Millions doesn’t offer much in the way of bonus features. For example, you won’t find any side games or free spins rounds. However, there is a scatter symbol and when you land three or more of these icons on the reels your payout will be calculated by multiplying the relevant amount on the paytable by the number of coins staked. The more scatters you land, the higher your reward will be. There is also a wild symbol that substitutes for any other icon except the scatter and adds a 3x multiplier to your win.
Progressive Jackpot
The current jackpot is displayed in big red letters at the top of the screen and to win it you need to land five wild symbols on payline 15. The minimum jackpot value is £250,000, which keeps rising until a lucky player scoops it. The average jackpot amount stands at over £400,000 while the biggest win to date was a whopping £1,801,517.
Verdict
Fans of old-school slots will love this game. The great graphics make it easy on the eye while there are no big features to distract from the progressive jackpot. There’s a good reason why Major Millions has stood the test of time, and that’s because it’s fun and exciting to play. Not to mention the possibility of winning at least quarter of a million pounds!
