How Lars’ 0.40 Bet Turned Into €1.7 Million Jackpot Win At Vera & John Casino

Proving that you don’t have to bet big to win big, Lars walked away with €1,682,473 after placing a 0.40 bet on the brilliant Hall of Gods slot online.

Most of us who play jackpot casino games hope, in our hearts, that we will get a big slot win. Like, really, really big.

But, much like winning the lottery, whilst there are moments of flutters, mostly we enjoy the entertainment of the game, and the thought of winning, more than expect to walk away with millions.

After all, it only happens once in a blue moon right? Not if you ask Net Entertainment.

NetEnt jackpot slots pay out, on average, over 225 million in cash a year. This month alone they paid out €3.4 million to a Finnish player on Mega Fortune Dreams, then a lucky UK gambler walked away with a little over £2 million on Mega Fortune.

But this isn’t their story. This is Lars story. A humble Norwegian who, with only a couple of euros to spare, tried his luck and changed his life at Vera & John casino.

Long term player, newcomer to Vera&John

The thing you have to realise about Lars is that he’s not a newbie to playing at real money casinos online. He’s been playing, on and off, for about 10 years.

Never huge amounts, mostly because he didn’t have the spare cash.

Still, the odd deposit of €20 / €50 for an evenings entertainment, a couple of times of month, wasn’t out of the question.

The point we are trying to make is that, whilst our 45-year-old Jackpot winner from Bergen has been gambling for a while, he doesn’t usually gamble much, or that often.

Just goes to show that a jackpot can be won by anyone, at any bet, at any time.

Hall of Gods is one of Lars favourite slots

It is also, if we are going to be honest, one of ours.

Yes, we know, it’s not a mobile casino phone game, which makes it slightly sacrilegious of us to even say it, but you can’t deny Hall of Gods is one of all the all time great jackpot slots.

One of the reasons it’s so well loved is because even without the 3 jackpots, you can still win a decent amount; over 4,000 times your bet if you’re really lucky.

It’s one of the few online slot jackpot games which doesn’t need the jackpot for it to be good, it’s actually a decent 20 payline slot with free spins, expanding wilds and bonus games.

AND it just happens to have a couple of millions in cash to win as a bonus.

He made a few small bets of €0.40 a spins

For those of you reading this from other countries than Norway (so, like, 90% of you), that amounts to:

• £0.30
• AU$0.60
• US$0.40… so same, same then.

Which is, we will all agree, a pretty conservative bet. But that’s fair enough, Lars is a careful gambler: he’s got bills to pay and doesn’t have that much disposal income.

That is, until now.

He smashed 3 jackpot symbols

The way to win the jackpot in this Norse god slot, is to catch the click me game. It shows up fairly often, even 20 to 50 spins or so, and it was no surprise to Lars to see it pop up.

The trick is to smash viking shields until 3 of the same symbols show up. Mostly you tend to win instant cash between 5x to 20x your overall bet.

Lars would have been happy with a €10 win. Instead he hit 3 mega jackpot symbols and won €1,682,473.

“My God, this isn’t possible, this hasn’t happened!” Lars said in disbelief when he spoke to Vera&John’s support team. “This is so unreal, I nearly started crying!”

Nearly? By this stage we’d be in flood of happy tears.

A smell bet, but a life-changing win

Lars knew exactly what he was going to spend the money on; after all, he’s been daydreaming about this moment for a decade.

“I’ve been dreaming about winning a big prize for 10 years, and now I know what it’s like. It’s crazy! It’s like I’m still asleep and I haven’t woken up!” Lars continued.

But with that kind of win, it’s not just him who will be benefiting from this payload, but his nearest and dearest.

The first thing he’ll do is pay off family debts, including mortgages and credit cards, and then, with what’s left over, fulfil a life-long dream.

For years now, he’s been saving up to buy a little seaside holiday cottage and a boat. Because you’re not a real millionaire until you buy yourself a boat.

Will you get lucky at Vera and John casino?

We love big winner casino stories where it’s the little guy that gets the gold. It gives us hope that we don’t need to bet hundreds of thousands in order for us to win a life-changing amount.

Lars is proof of that. And with over 300 mobile casino games at Vera & John casino, you certainly have more than enough choice to try your luck.

The NetEnt jackpots need a little time to grow, but Microgaming’s Mega Moolah slot currently sits at 5 million, and both Siberian Storm and Cleopatra MegaJackpots by IGT are reaching the 1 million mark; which means they are ready to burst.

Best of all? You’ll find them all at Vera & John and you get an exclusive mobile casino bonus of 10 free spins on Sparks when you register, 100% up to £€$200 + 10 free spins on Stickers on your first deposit.

Might as well get more, for less, right?
