Major Millions 5 reel video slot

To activate the Progressive Jackpot, you must have a Real Player account and bet the maximum bet of fifteen coins per spin. The video slot has only one coin size, a 0.20 coin. You can only bet one coin per pay-line. So, the total bet per pay-line is 0.20 coin size x 15 pay-lines = 3.00 total credits bet. You are paid out for winning combinations on active pay-lines only.

The symbols

The Major Millions is a Wild symbol. It substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations, except the Scatter Explosion symbol and the Progressive Jackpot. The Major Millions symbol triples the payout of any combination it completes. If 5 of them are lined up on the 15th activated pay-line, you win the Progressive Jackpot.

Scatter Explosion, as the name implies, is a Scatter symbol and, therefore, does not have to appear on an active pay-line in a line to win. It can be scattered anywhere on all reels, as long as three or more of them appear. Three symbols pay out the total number of credits bet multiplied by 3 (9 credits). Scatter wins are added to pay-line wins.

There are nine Regular symbols: The Major, Battleship, Plane, Tank, Top Secret Envelope, Medals, Majors Hat, Ammo Box and Binoculars. The value of each of these symbols can be seen in the payout schedule.

Some examples of winning combinations of symbols

• Five Major Millions symbols on the ninth active pay-line will not bring you the Progressive Jackpot, since the Progressive Jackpot combination can only occur on the 15th active pay-line. But, it does complete a 5 Major Millions symbols combination to pay out 8,000 coins. Your total bet will be: 0.20 credits x 15 paylines = 3.00 total credits . And your payout will be: 8,000 coins won x 0.20 credits bet per payline = 1600 total credits
• Two Major Millions symbols and two Tank symbols displayed on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the ninth active pay-line complete a four Tank symbols combination to pay out 20 coins. However, since two Major Millions symbols are displayed, the payout will be 20 coins x 3=60 coins
• Three Major Millions symbols and two Plane symbol on an active pay-line complete a five Plane symbols combination to pay out 600 coins multiplied by 3 = 1,800 because 3 Major Millions symbols are displayed.

Major Millions Megaspin

Major Millions Megaspin is a 3 reel, 3 pay-line and 3 coin slot machine, but different from standard slot games. Here you play multiple slot machines simultaneously per game session. Each slot machine has the same Major Millions Megaspin game rules and characteristics. To activate the Progressive Jackpot, you must have a Real Player account and bet the maximum bet of three coins per spin. The Megaspin has only one coin size, a 0.20 coin. You can only bet one coin per pay-line. So, the total bet per pay-line is 0.20 coin size x 3 pay-lines = 0.60 total credits bet. You are paid out for winning combinations on active pay-lines only. The Major Millions is a Wild and multiplier symbol. It substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations, multiplying at the same time the payout. A single Major Millions symbol doubles the payout of the combination it completes, two of them quaduples the same and three of them creates on pay-line 1 a payout of 25,000 coins, on pay-line 2 a payout of 50,000 coins and on pay-line 3 the Progressive Jackpot.

Friday 11 May 2007, turned out to be a very lucky day for Hester Nortier , when the South African Piggs Peak Online Casino announced her as winner of R457,000-00 accumulated in the Major Millions jackpot. She was, of course, hugely surprised to win so much money without playing big. Hester said: “I am a conservative player who does not take large risks. I don’t play too often, and I only played a hundred rand before I hit this jackpot!”

Major Millions saw another winner on August 8, 2006 in Wendy R, who happened to have hit the jackpot and won a whopping $695,965.57 ! on August 8, 2006. Now would you believe! This same lady had cracked a few days earlier another progressive, the CashSplash. A great job, and hard work well-paid off.

February 20, 2003 turned out to be a fateful day for Ronald H, who happened to win a then-record breaking amount of $1,626,184.56 in a single cash payment at the Major Millions. And not only the amount, he got to win a luxury trip to Barbados. Wow, isn't that fantastic!

Even before that, on May 28, 2002, Tony P made a record of sorts during those times when he managed to win a whopping $1,594,649.21 on the Major Millions online progressive slot game at Captain Cooks Casino. He says that his life after the win has remained pretty much the same, and becoming a millionaire has not stopped him from leading the simple life he used to before the win. But he admits that winning the million has definitely given him a much-needed security. However, even a year from the win, he hadn't used his luxury cruise. We sure hope he has now!
