Microgaming has revealed that a lucky player wagering on its Major Millions video slot game on Tuesday, 30th December, 2014, managed to win a massive $255,196 jackpot which was the second largest progressive win for the video slot game for that particular week.

The largest win on the Major Millions slot game was an amount of $1,801.517 which occurred in 2012. The slot game pays out on average an amount of $596.390 every ten weeks and the latest win of $255,196 is the 24th win recorded for the slot game in the past five years.

Major Millions is a progressive slots jackpot that players can win at any online casino that offer games from Microgaming.

The progressive jackpot can be won on either a 3 reel classic machine or a 15 pay line cartoonish military themed video slot.

Although the 3 reel classic Major Millions slot game has 3 pay lines, the jackpot can only be won by spinning three wild symbols on the third pay line of the game. The coin size is fixed at $1 and players should, therefore, wager an amount of $3 per spin.

There are a total of 15 pay lines in the 5 reel video slot version of Major Millions and the jackpot can only be won with 5 symbols on the 15th pay line. The coin size on this slot game is fixed at 20c per line and players are required to once again wager $3 per spin.

Players can choose whichever version of Major Millions that they prefer as the progressive jackpot has the same chance of being won on both machines.
