Watch As This Yggdrasil Casino Jackpot Pays Out €3.4 Million

We often get told about many great big winner casino stories, but how often do you get to watch the winning spin? Well, this time, you can.

We love big slot jackpot winners – after all, who amongst us hasn’t bought a lottery ticket, or taking a spin on a jackpot casino game, all in hope of getting the big prize.

It’s human nature to hope for change, and most of us accept it when it doesn’t happen, and we have to get up for work, like any other day.

Some of us doubt that it ever really happens, because apparently, it’s also human nature to be needlessly bitter. This story isn’t for you guys.

This is for the dreamers and idealist, who want to watch how a jackpot is won, and just for a moment, wish it was them.

Thursday 26th of October: a night like every other

Our winner in question woke up on Thursday morning thinking it would be much like any other morning.

She did what most of us do on a Thursday, get up, get ready for work, eat breakfast. You know, the boring day to day that are so routine they are almost second nature.

Like taking out your phone to pass away a few minutes of boredom.

She opened the Vera & John Swedish casino site

Not because she liked to needlessly complicate her life by playing in a language she didn’t know, but because the winner in question lives in Sweden.

Vera and John is a popular European casino, mostly because they have multiple currencies and languages available across most of their games.

It’s easier to gamble if you don’t have to make currency conversions in your head.

He started betting 0.70 cents a spin

Part of the joy of big casino games winners is when we found out they weren’t betting that much at all.

It kills the delusion that you have to bet big in order to win big, allowing all to have a little slot game fun.

Which is what our future millionaire was doing. Having a few fun spins at breakfast before she had to head out for the day.

What Mia wasn’t expecting, what no one ever really expects, was to hit the Joker Millions jackpot.

Yggdrasil Joker Millions slot jackpot hits frequently

The casino software Yggdrasil isn’t one you automatically think of when you think of Jackpot slots.

That’s mostly because you don’t tend to think of them much generally – though growing in popularity, they are no where near the size of the likes of NetEntertainment or Microgaming.

So it’s easy to overlook their jackpot slots for bigger more glamorous machines.

Not the first millionaire maker this year

The Empire Fortune game paid out 5.1 million only last July, whilst the last time Empire Fortune hit this high was back in December 2016.

At this point you’d be forgiven for thinking that creating one or two millionaires a year is hardly worthy of bragging.

But that’s because these jackpot slots seed at a much lower amount, are pooled together to build up faster and usually trigger before they get this high.

The third game to share this jackpot is Holmes and the Stolen Stones, in case you are wondering.

Yggdrasil have created games that don’t need millions in cash prizes to get you playing, just solid slots that have enough hope to be tempting.

Tell me more about the Joker Millions game

This is, by far, Yggdrasil’s flagship jackpot slot game. Which is just another way to say that it was the first, the favourite.

It’s not available everywhere; casino players in the UK will have to try Holmes or Empire Fortune to get their jackpot thrills.

Which is a shame for them, because Joker Millions is really very fun, with 5×3 reels and 25 paylines full of excitement.

This is mostly due to the fact that winning symbols freeze on screen, giving you better chances at getting more winning symbols in the free re-spin feature.

However, it’s the jokers that are the real draw, as they not only give you mystery wins, but get a screen full and you trigger the jackpot.

Watch it happen: the millionaire making spin

All this is great, but we know what you’re here for, and it’s not our lovely personalities.

Now you get why the re-spin feature is so exciting?

Everytime you get a joker on screen, you get a free spin of the reels, hoping to catch more joker symbols.

Usually you end up with 3 or 5 symbols, which can pay up as much as 1,000 coins, and we’re happy with that.

But not for our crazy winner who got joker, after joker, after joker, and then the life changing notice that she was now a brand new millionaire.

What will Mia spend the money on?

Well, when contacted by Vera & John, the mother of three had only a few words:

“It’s all a huge relief”

Unlike some other big millionaire stories where they have a few big ideas to spend their newly found fortune, Mia’s ideas are a little more down to earth.

She and her husband plan to pay off the mortgage, upgrade the central heating and do some needed redecorating around the house.

And hopefully spend some of it on a few fun and exciting adventures no doubt.

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming, said: “We love to hear of players hitting the big wins on our slots. [They] deserve to treat themselves to an early Christmas present. We’re sure the imminent festive period will be that bit more special for them this year.”

Well that’s for sure: we suspect this Christmas 2017 will be a little bit special for our winner.

So many jackpots to try at Vera & John casino

Yggdrasil is just one of the many software providers currently hosted by Vera & John casino.

You have the likes of WMS with Raging Rhino and Zeus, Microgaming and it’s Thunderstruck’s, not to mention big and small titles alike from software like IGT, NextGen, Play’n GO, Aristocrat and more…

Victor Olinger, Head of gaming at Vera&John, said: “Joker Millions is one of many Yggdrasil titles that our players love on our site, partly due to the huge jackpots on offer. We want to give our players the best experience possible, whether it be through offering the best slots titles or giving away the biggest jackpots, and it’s always good to see them paid out for their loyalty.”

This is one casino that loves giving more to players, and currently host the World Slot Championship, which gives you wins for winning.

Fair, fun, and friendly, Vera & John casino is the place to play.
