When you hit it BIG – the biggest online slots wins in history

Gambling is all about pitting your wits and skill against an opponent. Throwing down the cards and letting Lady Luck pick you as her champion. It’s chance and excitement and risk. But it’s also about the win.

Every gambler goes into every game thinking, knowing, that they are going to walk away with head held high and pockets straining with chips. It’s why we play for real money – real risk for real rewards and real thrills.

But how often have you won a big pot or hit a big jackpot? And by big, we are talking BIG! Not the hundreds or the thousands or even the hundreds of thousands – BIIIIIG big, like millions. How many fellow gamblers do you know who have hit the big time? It’s almost like it’s all just a Hollywood story.

And then you hear about them, the ones who walk away with life-changing wins, who make international news headlines where their win has to be printed in small font sizes because the number is so big.

The most common winners are national lottery winners. R5 million. £10 million. $150 million – that is 150 000 000 MILLION American Dollars or close to 2.5 BILLION South African Rands!

But those are national lotteries, progressive jackpots with millions of people playing every week. We want to know what the biggest wins in the online casino world have been, and who walked away with all that lovely, lovely loot.

So, Online Casino Review decided to do some digging.

Our investigation revealed that it wasn’t the fancy-pants baccarat players or the über-cool poker players who claimed the really big payouts – it was the slots players. Every huge win at an online casino has come from an online slots machine.

And they have been impressive!
