UK – IGT awards £3.4m on MegaJackpots Games
By Phil - 16 June 2015
International Game Technology has announced that four lucky Europe-based players recently earned a fortune on IGT’s new interactive MegaJackpots games, winning more than £3.4m between them.
These lucky winners all hit their jackpots shortly after the Company’s interactive MegaJackpots game launch.
The first winner was struck with luck on March 23 2015 via Ladbrokes and took home £1.2m after playing the popular IGT title, MegaJackpots Cleopatra online. Several days later, a LeoVegas player won £557k on 26 March 2015 by playing MegaJackpots Siberian Storm.
The third and fourth winners found their fortunes via Sky Vegas. One winner hit a £736k jackpot while playing the MegaJackpots Cleopatra game on mobile on 11 April 2015 and the final winner hit a £908k jackpot while playing the MegaJackpots Cleopatra game online on 12 May 2015.
The latest versions of IGT’s fan-favourite games MegaJackpots Cleopatra and MegaJackpots Siberian Storm simultaneously launched across Europe on February 26. The new games feature extended liquidity and pooled jackpots across both desktop and mobile.
“MegaJackpots Cleopatra and MegaJackpots Siberian Storm were designed to significantly boost winnings and jackpot hit frequency,” said Leigh Nissim, IGT Commercial Director of Interactive. “It was thrilling that the first jackpot was triggered so quickly and that Ladbrokes and IGT created an instant millionaire. IGT has a rich history of paying life-changing jackpots on the land-based side of the business, and we’re excited to extend that legacy into the Interactive segment. These MegaJackpots games have excellent liquidity and are proving to be popular.”
