Watch How One Lucky Guy Wins 5.1 Million On Empire Fortune Slot

About once every other month we get a big winner slot story worth shouting about. But rarely do we get the video footage to go with it.

Gamblers, by their very nature, are both optimistic and cynical all at the same time.

On one hand, we play slots online because we dream of winning big, on the other hand we never truly believe all those big winner casino slot stories we read about.

We know this because our big win stories are some of the most read, and the most criticised, of all our content.

So here’s one for the big pessimists out there who think that online phone casinos are making it all up.

Because we have a video recording of the huge millionaire making spin.

Back up: what is the Empire Fortune Slot?

If you’ve been around the casino block a few times, you would probably expect this kind of big winner story to come from a big games software.

Maybe record holding jackpot slot by Microgaming, or perhaps the always popular NetEnt game studios?

After all, didn’t Mega Moolah gives us 2 millionaires in less than a month?

Welcome Yggdrasil gaming to the millionaire slots

We should point out that Empire Fortune is not the first progressive jackpot mobile slot by Yggdrasil.

In fact, they launched their first jackpot slots back in 2015 with Joker Millions, adding the likes of Holmes and The Stolen Stones and more to their portfolio.

The latest of which was Empire Fortune.

Not the first millionaire big slot win

If you are wondering who is Yggdrasil gaming, then you’ve been missing out.

Sure, they’re not the biggest software developer out there, but they are on a whole host of the most popular online casino sits, including the likes of Vera John, Casumo and Guts.

But because their gambling phone games aren’t as big, or as well-known, as some of the big guns in gaming, they don’t get the publicity, or the numbers, they might deserve.

This is only the second time their jackpot video slot has created a millionaire. The last was €3.3 million last Christmas.

But this €5.1 million is by far, the largest.

Empire Fortune slot is a simple, gem encrusted slot

If you open up the jackpot slot Empire Fortune, you’d probably be surprised to hear that it was only released a couple of year ago.

That’s because Yggdrasil have purposely make it look olde worlde, with gems that belong somewhere in the 17th century, and a look straight out of the dawn of slot machines.

But that’s what gives it it’s charm.

With 20 paylines, a free spins bonus game that can give you up to 10x multiplier, and a click me game that pays instant cash, it’s not  got revolutionary slot features, but spinning the reels is a whole load of fun.

Here’s how you win €5,197,198 on a progressive jackpot

You done reading a little about the history of the slot and the software?

Good, because here’s the best part.

This is where you get to see the exact moment on lucky Norwegian casino player becomes a brand new Millionaire.

Just close your eyes and pretend it’s you spinning the jackpot wheel for a moment.

Playing on his iPhone, like any other day…

And then this happened:

That, by the way, is one of the two bonus slot game features we mentioned a moment ago.

Mostly, when you get this bonus feature, you win cash prizes.

Sometimes a decent amount of cash, thanks to those crazy fireworks, but mostly a little top up to your wallet.

The biggest win in Yggdrasil history

The way to improve your chances of winning on a jackpot slot is:

1. Choose the right jackpot slot
2. Play it when it’s going to burst

The second one is a little tricky, as you never really know when it’s really going to hit.

That’s how jackpots work.

However, when you consider that the biggest jackpot in Yggdrasil history was 3.3 million, playing on Empire Fortune when it hit over 5 million was a pretty good bet.

Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming, said: “We’re very excited to see one of our players hit our biggest ever jackpot, and I hope he treats himself to an extended summer holiday.”

That said, our lucky winner has yet to announce what they’ll be spending their money on.

And, to be honest, we doubt he will. Millionaires have a habit of keeping that information to themselves.

After all, wouldn’t you?

The more people play Yggdrasil, the faster they climb

So we know for sure that Yggdrasil jackpot casino games have the potential to become as big news as the likes of NetEnt, Microgaming or even the MegaJackpots IGT games.

The only way they will keep climbing, and climb quickly enough to keep paying out, is by playing them.

And no one explains why you should play Yggdrasil gaming slots, than the CEO himself:

“Jackpot titles are always popular, but what makes Yggdrasil’s progressive jackpot slots so successful is the engaging base game that keeps customers happy, even though they can’t all walk away with a life-changing prize.” Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming

They are one of a kind, with great fun feature, regardless of whether they host jackpots or not.

One for everyone who’s ever dreamt of winning a life-changing win… but who is cynical enough to just want to play a great slot game.
