Millions are not a myth: who wins online casinos and how

Millions of winnings aren't just marketing. Behind each such title is a real player, a specific bet and a specific slot or game that worked at the right time.

In this article, we will analyze:

• real winning cases from $1,000,000 and above;
• through which games and providers this happened;
• whether these were random events or a natural outcome;
• that it is important to know not to fall into the trap of inflated expectations.

What unites all the big wins

1. A game with high payout potential

All slots and live games in which multimillion-dollar winnings were recorded have:

• high volatility index (variance);
• the presence of a jackpot (fixed or progressive);
• the possibility of multipliers of ×1000 and higher;
• the presence of bonus blocks: free spins, pick'em, hold & win.

2. Bet from $1 to $100

Most big gains occur at small to moderate rates. Large winnings are not necessarily the result of betting at $500 or $1000.

Example: in Mega Moolah, a million can be thwarted even at a rate of $0.25 - this is how a jackpot mechanic works.

3. Casino License Availability

All cases reported by providers take place in regulated casinos with licenses from MGA, UKGC or Kahnawake. This is important: payments in such casinos are guaranteed, and the winnings themselves are confirmed by the audit.
