2017 In Review: 5 Lessons You Need To Learn From The Big Winners

The holidays are almost over and it’s time to look back at what we can learn from the 2017 big casino winners.

18+

Over the year we write far more casino big winner stories than you would think.

That’s because, most of us don’t end up on the headlines of the casinos, instead happy to walk away with a little extra in our pocket, or at worst, thoroughly entertained.

But when looking at what it takes to be a successful gambler, it’s hard not to take a few tips from those who have won big in the past year.

1. You don’t need to bet big to win big at slots

We start with a jackpot slot story, but not one of the big ones. In fact, it’s not even a progressive jackpot game.

Divine Fortune slot game came out this year, and is one of the best 2017 casino games of the year, in our humble opinion.

However, it all depends on where you play, as this is the one and only NetEnt local jackpot slot. Meaning that how quickly it rises depends on which casino site you happen to open it at.

A 0.40 cent bet can win you €145,616

Of course, it doesn’t have to be a 0.40 cent bet, it can literally be any amount, we’re just using the example of the Bavarian Lady who got that magical 364,000 times her bet win.

And granted, generally, it’s fair to say that jackpot slot tend to like those that bet a bit bigger than usual.

But the first lesson to learn, and always keep in mind, is to never bet more than you can afford to bet.

The law of randomness means that sometimes, those betting only a little will win big jackpots, or even wins that equal a small deposit on a house.

Every little helps, as long as it stays fun.

2. The jackpot slots will change your life

There’s no denying, most of the big winner stories we write about on LuckyMobileCasinos.com tend to be the big multi-million jackpots.

Why? Because they are by far the most impressive, and the best stories to write about, it’s why it’s easy to find the list of all the big lottery winners in even the smallest of publications.

And that’s what winning jackpots is all about; it’s the slot equivalent of winning the lottery.

The biggest win of the year? 8 Million in Mega Moolah slot

Bet you are wondering which of the jackpot slots paid out the most? Well, it’s got to be the big three.

The big three jackpot slots being:

1. Mega Moolah by the slot provider Microgaming
2. The always popular Hall of Gods jackpot slot
3. The impressive Mega Fortune Dreams

Surprised by that last one? Thought it would be the original Mega Fortune by NetEnt rather than it’s sequel?

Not according to NetEnt with Mega Fortune Dreams alone paying out a whopping €30.4 million in 2017, in total.

Making many millionaires along the way, and changing lives each and every time.

3. Don’t always play the big or obvious jackpot games

That said, whilst the big jackpot casino games are popular for a reason, popularity isn’t always a good thing.

It means the jackpots increase faster and higher, sure, but there’s also more competition to win.

Some of our best and more impressive wins have been from jackpot slots you’ve probably overlooked in the past; like the 3.4 million on Joker Millions, or 5.1 million on Empire Fortune – both Yggdrasil jackpot games.

But it’s not always about playing when the jackpots are big

We are going to admit that we are classic victims of playing on a casino jackpot slot when it gets so big it’s going to burst.

But if the stories below are anything to go on you can win when the jackpots are running high, and when they are running low.

In fact, you can sometimes, even win twice in a row, even if the odds are one in 625 million.

• Sandam wins £1.13 million and then a month later, £627,000 on Mega Jackpots Star Lanterns by IGT
• 75 year old Torgils wins two jackpots in two weeks and walks away with 251,168 in cash
• Mega Moolah pays out 8 million, and then 3.7 million, in one month at Casumo casino

Just goes to show that luck can strike anywhere, at any time.

4. You can win big on blackjack & roulette games

There’s no denying it; it’s far more fashionable to boast about the big win you had playing slot machines and fruities, than it is to boast about playing blackjack and roulette.

Especially when it comes to casinos – mostly because there’s one important secret online casinos like to keep to themselves.

Namely the fact that slot wins are all about luck; whilst roulette and blackjack big wins are a mixture of luck and skill.

Royal Panda casino is different

It’s different because it likes to celebrate the wins you rarely hear about; like how Roger kept increasing his bet when he kept getting lucky and hitting blackjack after blackjack.

Or how six big winners cleaned out the casino of $€£153,000 on six different games. Three of them where on slots, granted, but the other three where on roulette and blackjack.

Don’t think that it’s all about slot games; that just what the casinos want you to believe.

With the right game strategy (which you can find in our casino game guides) you can walk away a happy winner playing any number of different table games and live casino games.

5. You can win big using a no deposit casino bonus

This last point may be the most controversial of this whole 2017 in review gambling piece.

That’s because we always say that a casino bonus is like an appetiser: they can be wonderfully tasty, and keep the hunger at bay, but eventually you’ll need solid food to keep you going.

Solid food, in this case, being real money casino deposits.

Namely, that’s because bonuses tend to come tied up with a million different terms and conditions that make it impossible to take home any real winnings.

But what if that didn’t always have to be the case?

Look, we are not saying that you can’t ever win big using a bonus, play through the wagering requirements, and walk away happy.

It’s just that, mostly, the extra cash helps you test out new games and play for longer, and that’s about it; unless you win really really big.

However, if you want at least a sliver of a chance of walking away with more, you just have to look more carefully at the casino bonuses on mobile available.

Rizk casinos gives you no wagering free spins

And they are not the only one. House of Jack give those out to Australian and New Zealand casino players, whilst Guts give them out on any free spin deposit offer.

But Rizk casino gives out casino bonuses with no wagering when you register.

Using their ‘Wheel of Rizk’, you spin this mini-game, and win anything from 10 free spins to 25 in free cash, with no wagering.

Everything you win is yours to keep; just ask these two:

One guy turn $20 into $30,000, all without making a single deposit, whilst this Canadian was enjoying one of the many Rizk seasonal offers and won $100 in free money, which lead to a $4,081 win.

And because there was no wagering to the bonus, they literally pressed the cashout button and walked away with a huge smile of glee on their face.

Because big casino wins don’t always have to win you millions, they just have to make you feel on top of the world.

Try the wheel of Rizk for yourself and see if you can top these big winners in 2018.
