Million Dollar Pokies Jackpots

How do the jackpots get so big?

These multi-million dollar jackpots are what they call ‘progressive jackpots’. A progressive jackpot is basically a jackpot that is made up of a number of different pokies or slot machines online, to be won by one ‘big win’, which is what is called the progressive jackpot.

In summary, it’s a bunch of slot machines that have been linked together to create a huge jackpot, which is made up from a percentage from each of group of machines.

It grows so big because a small percentage of each individual pokie or slot machine online is paid into a central pot, which forms the progressive jackpot. So, if you have 2000 online pokies linked to the progressive, the jackpot grows 2000 times quicker than if you were trying to win the jackpot on one individual machine. By taking a small amount from each pokie or slot machines, and adding it to the big pot, the progressive jackpot grows huge, and often very quickly.

Remember, if you want to try and win these progressive jackpots, you can still claim up to $1000 completely free to try your luck. This page will allow you to download the pokie and casino software and claim your free bonus.

Here’s a list of some big winners from around the world. Real money. Real jackpots. Real players.

6. Joaquim M – €1.4m (Euros)

Joaquim M won €1.4 million on Major Millions at in June 2004. The timeframe here is important, because at that time it was almost unheard of to hear someone win over a million dollars in a progressive jackpot pokie.

5. Mathew G – £1.9m (GBP)

A £1.9 million jackpot playing an online pokie goes off in August 2010. ‘Mathew G’ was playing in GBP, so it represents a big progressive jackpot.

4. Player Name Witheld (female) – $4.2m (USD)

A lady from Australia (a player through OnlinePokies.com.au) won this incredible jackpot in 2010 with a $5 bet. She was playing at home when the life-changing spin happened.

3. GAMAGO – $4.9m (USD)

$4.9 million for player GAMAGO becomes one of the largest online ever. The jackpot total itself was actually $4,978,336.62, so if you’re not being too picky, it’s about a $5 million dollar win on a single spin. Holy cow!

2. Klaus E – $5.5m (USD)

Klaus E from Finland scooped an incredible $5.5 million in April 2008 playing Mega Moolah. Incredibly, his bet was only 50c, which is amazing, and at the time, he became the largest progressive jackpot winner online. We have no idea if this player cashed in the full amount or lost some of it back to the house but needless to say, Klaus E probably didn’t have to work again ?

1. Georgios M €6.3m (Euros)

The biggest online jackpot win to date. We can’t find a larger jackpot winner than the €6.3 million hit in May 2009 by Georgios M of Greece playing Mega Moolah. This is a crazy amount of money and it seems that Mega Moolah keeps churning out the cash!
