Playtech’s Progressive Jackpot Slot “Beach Life” Hit with another Massive Win at £3.7 Million
Beach Life, a Playtech online progressive jackpot slot has made a millionaire out of a BGO.com player who goes by the online name of Hilton. The latter requests anonymity and still in awe over his massive winnings of £3.7 million, which in Playtech’s 16-yuear history is the second major win among the company’s collection of progressive titles. The same title already made its mark as Playtech’s largest paying progressive jackpot, with its previous record of awarding £4.4 million in 2012.
Hilton placed 50 pence bets on each of the twenty paylines, which is equivalent to a £10-wager made on every spin. One such spin returned with five of the Wild Sun Symbols lined up in the 20th payline, which triggered the release of the progressive jackpot. No wonder Hilton is still in shock since his £3.7 million, accordingly equates to roughly around 379,904 times the amount staked on the spin.
The lucky UK punter said he thought such things happen only to other people, so he really has no major plans for spending the money, except buy his parents the bungalow they have always wanted. Through his winnings, he gives assurance to his nieces and nephews of having a good start in life. Moreover, he can now afford to spend a real holiday vacation outside of the UK, instead of the staycation holiday he originally planned.
The COO at Playtech, Shimon Akad, call Hilton’s achievement a tremendous win. He added that Playtech’s network of casino jackpots continues to bring outstanding results to their customers, as demonstrated by this latest Beach Life win.
About the Beach Life Progressive Jackpot
The Beach Life progressive jackpot starts out with 100,000 coins as seed money, for which the equivalent jackpot is determined based on the coin size used as bet by the progressive slot player. Coin size here, refers to the coin denomination used as bet, multiplied by the number of coins wagered on every payline. A portion of the money placed as bet by Beach Life players in the entire network of Playtech licensed online casinos, goes to a single prize pot, and could likely progress into a massive jackpot.
The prize is released automatically if a Beach Life player lands on five Sun Symbols in the 20th payline. The Sun Symbol is also the game’s wildcard, serving as substitute for regular symbols to form more payline wins. The Beach Life slot game mechanics state that should the five Wild Sun Symbols appear in a payline other than the 20th, the player automatically receives 100,000 coins as winnings instead of the Progressive Jackpot.
However, in order to qualify one’s Beach Life play for the Progressive Jackpot, a player must place bets on all twenty paylines.
In addition to the Progressive Jackpot, Beach Life also has an interactive instant win Treasure Chest Bonus Game. Here, bonus players are sure to receive extra coins as bonus rewards hidden behind treasure chests. Bonus players are entitled to pick three, and the equivalent cash equivalent of the coins revealed by the Treasurer Chest will be added to their winnings.
