Tuesday 21st February 2012
Betfred.com has announced that it recently awarded one of its slot players with the UK’s biggest ever progressive jackpot prize of £5.1 million jackpot courtesy of its Beach Life game.
Betfred.com revealed that the unnamed player was awarded with the multi-million prize from a stake of only one pound and was whisked away soon after on a private jet in order to receive their cheque from founder Fred Done.
“As a bookmaker, I get a real thrill out of turning someone into a multi-millionaire at the click of a mouse,” said Done.
“The jackpot has been growing for a while now and we were all hoping it would be one of our customers that won this life-changing jackpot. It just goes to show it's always worth trying your luck.”
Earlier that day, the winner had racked up a prize of £250 off of the domain’s King Kong slot before going on to become the recipient of the world’s third biggest progressive slot jackpot after only six spins of Beach Life.
“Thanks to the online casino at Betfred.com, our new multi-millionaire player has the option of relaxing on the beach from now on and, while it's not every day someone wins an incredible £5.1million, there are plenty of other chances to hit the big time at Betfred.com,” read a statement from the Gibraltar-licensed domain.
Betfred.com stated that it is currently offering progressive jackpots totalling over two million dollars while £838,000 is waiting to be triggered courtesy of its Gold Rally jackpot slot.
