Independence Day arrived early for a New Jersey gambler who won almost $2.1m from a $2 bet on a popular online slot game. This was the biggest prize the operator Hard Rock Bet Casino has ever given out.
The winning spins came on the Silver Lux: Sevens Hold’em Respin slot, which is a title from Greentube, the digital studio behind Novomatic’s online catalog. Its library of old-fashioned games dressed up in chrome, with a 3×3 grid of bars and colored sevens. There’s also a signature respins round that locks matching stacks on the first two reels, while the third spins again in search of a full screen.
Hard Rock Bet layered on top its four-tier progressive jackpot system
Hard Rock Bet layered on top its four-tier progressive jackpot system that players can buy into by adding $0.20 onto their wagers. It was the first time that the highest jackpot tier, Mega, passed $2m before someone won. It’s also the third consecutive month that a user in New Jersey has claimed the top prize.
The streak started in May, just weeks after the operator launched the jackpot network. The first win was $1.9m, followed three weeks later by a similarly sized hit. People in Michigan haven’t been so lucky, as there were four Mega winners in June, but their total take-home payout was not much more than $900,800.
