A lucky punter managed to hit the Millionaire Genie Jackpot late on Monday, 14th September that resulted in a massive win of $881,740.
The player’s win is the second for the progressive prize in the past 12 days and also the 49th since 2010 with the average win being an amount of $2,062,906 approximately every 11 weeks. The largest win on record on Millionaire Genie is $5,194,129, which was won in 2015.
The jackpot prize is won when players bet the max three credits and score three Genie Jackpots across the game’s sole pay line.
Millionaire Genie is a progressive slots jackpot that could be won at online casinos that offer games from Random Logic. The progressive jackpot increases with every spin of the reels.
The progressive jackpot can be won provided players bet the maximum 3 coins per spin. However, betting with 1 or 2 coins still gives them a chance to win 75,000 or 150,000 coins and even getting all blanks or three different symbols can award players with some money.
Hitting the Millionaire Genie symbol on the right hand side reel will activate the Bonus round which consists of a scratch card game. Scratching 3 circles will win players the combined totals revealed. Scratching 3 identical amounts can initiate another Bonus round.
There is no limit to how many bonus rounds that players can play.
Players can change to a different slot machine by clicking a button, where they can play the same game. They will, however, have the same chance of winning no matter which virtual machine they choose.
Realtime Gaming, an online casino company developing download-based casino software, has announced that it will be releasing a new slot game titled ‘Witchy Wins’ on 23rd September, 2020.
The new ‘Witchy Wins’ slot game comes with a witch theme (just in time for Halloween) with the three attractive main characters all dressed in black.
‘Witchy Wins’ is a 5 reel and 3 row slot game which allows for players to get up to 243 ways to win and has a lot of lucrative winning potential, thanks to a number of bonus features. The slot game is playable on all desktop, mobile or tablet devices.
Symbols on the reels of the ‘Witchy Wins’ slot are the three witches who take on the main roles along with three symbols with potions. There is also the lower value Royals. Special feature symbols range from the Wilds (Cauldrons and Multipliers), to the Potion Scatters.
The Cauldron is the Wild symbol in the slot game and plays the role of the traditional Wild card, substituting for most other symbols in the game in order to finalize winning combinations. The Cauldran often gets a multiplier version and players can get up to 4 x multipliers on the Cauldron Wild Multiplier wins.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing anything between 3 to 5 Scatter symbols. Players will receive 8 Free Spins for landing 3 Scatters, 25 Free Spins for 4 Scatters and 50 Free Spins for 5 Scatters. The Free Spins can be re-triggered.
German gaming giant Gauselmann Group has entered into a new, exclusive sponsorship deal with 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Both Gauselmann and Fortuna are based in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen and the group will use its Merkur sports brand for the partnership that is lauded as a ‘long-term and close cooperation’.
Merkur is a division of the German gaming giant, which also currently sponsors Fortuna Dusseldorf’s 54,600 capacity home stadium, the Merkur Spiel-Arena.
Manfred Stoffers, Marketing Director of the Gauselmann Group, commented that they are really looking forward to the partnership with Fortuna. He added that Foruna is one of the most important lighthouses in Dusseldorf sport, which they promote in its colorful diversity.
Stoffers went on to say that their partnership is now complete and if it says Merkur on it, Merkur has to be inside. He added that it is much more important that through their sponsoring they can make a small contribution to ensuring that Fortuna gets back on the road to success as quickly as possible.
Christian Koke, Marketing Director at Fortuna Dusseldorf, said that the fact that they, as the main tenant of the Merkur Spiel-Arena, have now been able to conclude a comprehensive partnership with the namesake is an important steep for Fortuna that has only now become possible.
Koke also said that they are pleased to be able to exclusively welcome a company based in North Rhine-Westphalia as a partner in this sector, because the gambling and gaming market, which also includes sports betting, is economically exciting in football, but also a sensitive field.
He thanked those responsible at the Gauselmann Group for the fair discussions and willingness to enter into such a long-term and comprehensive partnership with them in such a difficult time as this.
“Noble Sky” is this month’s release of a slot game from Microgaming, in partnership with Neon Valley Studios.

Symbols on the reels, which have floating mechanical balloons in the background, include A to 10 royals, a top hat, a compass, a hostess and an engineer. A rather dapper chap with a pencil mustache and eyeglasses is the most lucrative symbol that awards 0.2, 1.8 or 20 x a player’s total stake for landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 of him on a pay line.
The Airship symbol is Wild and spins in a stacked formation, 3 symbols high, substituting for all standard symbols when making up part of a winning combination.
The Airship Wild Re-spins feature is triggered by filling the entire reel with a Wild. The final re-spin plays out after the Stacked Wild leaves the screen.
Triggering the Vault Bonus feature sees players land 1 of 4 potential fixed Jackpot prizes. Players stand a chance of winning a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot which pays 5,000x a player’s total stake.
