Best Online Casino News Roundup: The Week’s Top Stories
This month, IGT PlayDigital's Cash Eruption MegaJackpots game saw two spectacular progressive jackpots strike in rapid succession at Caesars Palace Online Casino in Michigan. This was two instances of lightning striking, but in a positive way.
The first, a staggering $603,667.06 on September 18, broke the platform's record for the largest win ever. Six days later, the game paid out once more, this time for $527,710.07. In less than a week, it comes to about US$1.1 million!
Volcanic Victory
Eruption of Cash Megajackpots is a slot machine with 20 fixed paylines, 89% RTP, and medium to high volatility. The starting minimum wager is 20p. Expanding Wilds, Jumbo Symbols, and numerous bonus rounds are among of its main features.
The Bonus, which awards six spins when reels 2, 3, and 4 combine to form a 3x3 Jumbo symbol, is triggered by three or more Volcano symbols. A maximum of 15 additional spins can be earned by landing Jumbo Volcanoes. Additionally, special jumbo symbols can unlock the MegaJackpots Bonus, which gives the possibility of Grand, Major, or Mini jackpot payouts, or the Cash Eruption Bonus via Fireballs.
The previous high of $588,288.17, which also happened in Michigan, was surpassed by the record-breaking prize, which came from a $15 wager.
“Everything is possible for one who believes,” the big winner told Caesars, channeling a Jedi master.
Dark Arts
In the meantime, an incredibly fortunate person in North Carolina won a stunning $1.69 million in the NC Lottery's The Lamp Dark Arts fast jackpot game. The expense? Just fifty cents.
15 symbols are revealed in each round of the cluster-style matching game The Lamp: Dark Arts, which is played on a 5x3 grid. When three or more matching symbols come into contact, they vanish, give out a prize according to the Prize Chart, and are replaced by fresh symbols that descend.
While Wheel symbols initiate the Wheel of Wishes, which can award instant cash prizes, upgrade to higher prize levels with additional spins, or award one of three jackpots (Abra, Cadabra, or Alakazam), WILD symbols can replace the majority of symbols.
The player won the life-changing amount by beating odds of 1 in 129 million. For comparison, your chances of being hit by lightning are far higher, while your chances of dying this year from an asteroid strike that ends civilization are roughly equal. Doesn't it make you think?
