A Lucky Punter Has Scooped The UK's Highest Ever Online Jackpot - Winning GBP2,058,888 While Playing Online Slot Machines.

The online player from UK bagged the record-breaking jackpot while playing the Millionaires Club online slot at Littlewoods Casino, becoming the online gaming world's first ever UK double millionaire. The Birmingham-based player, who has chosen to remain anonymous apart from his online username Mojo, won the Progressive Jackpot of 2,058,888 British Pounds on the popular slot machine game, which had been accruing in value for around two years.

He bravely passed through three bonus feature rounds - at which point he could have lost his entire winnings - before scooping the amazingly huge jackpot and becoming the biggest UK online gaming winner in history.

He said in the interview: "I'm ecstatic to win such an amazing amount from playing online slots at Littlewoods Casino. I came back to their casino last month after an 18 month break and I'm so glad I did."

The Millionaires Club slot game is derived from the traditional 3-reel "fruit" machines popularised in UK pubs and clubs across the country in previous decades.

But the game has now been transformed into a nine line, 5 reel video slot game with substantially higher jackpots and the option to change the "stake" on each spin of the reels. Developed by award-winning online gaming software developer, Cryptologic, the slot offers a range of bets from 0.25 up to 5.00 coins or up to 15.00 per spin and a minimum progressive jackpot of 175,000.00 credits.

The Littlewoods Casino win also dwarves the jackpot available on traditional slot machines with just a £1,000 limit on offer on slot machines in UK land-based casino's and a maximum of £25 in pubs.

Simon Dexter, Casino Manager, said: "We are absolutely delighted that this jackpot has been won."

"Thousands of online casino players have tried their luck at this jackpot over the past two years and some have come very close indeed."

"This size of jackpot is such a life-changing amount and we are proud that we can offer our players the chance to win such a fabulous amount of money without even leaving their homes," continued Simon.

"The bottom line is that this kind of jackpot isn't available in traditional slot machines and our online players have the chance to win jackpots that make a real difference. I really doubt you would be able to fit two million pound coins into a pint glass anyway!"

Littlewoods Casino, which is part of Littlewoods Gaming - one of the UK's oldest and trusted gaming companies, still has over a million in jackpots waiting to be won online.

Littlewoods Gaming is most famous for its iconic Littlewoods Football Pools and has already created more than 100 millionaires and paid out to more than 60 million winners throughout its 84-year history.

Now, the ascent of the online gambling industry is continuing to see Littlewoods adding to these new millionaires.

Simon Dexter added: "This win shows that after 84 years, Littlewoods continues to make its customers millionaires from new and exciting games."
