A PokerStars Casino player has won a record €8.1 million from a €0.80 stake, scooping the main pot of Blueprint Gaming’s Jackpot King.

The win, which took place on Friday 30 April, saw the anonymous player reach the Wheel King during a session playing Blueprint’s Deal or No Deal Megaways – a popular game produced in partnership with Banijay Brands.

Moreover, the Texas-based game developer confirmed that the total prize of €8,133,445.23 is the highest ever sum paid out by Blueprint’s iconic progressive jackpot system.

“Many congratulations to the lucky individual who’s received the biggest ever prize from Jackpot King,” remarked Jo Purvis, director of key accounts and marketing UK at Blueprint Gaming. “This is a truly life-changing sum of money and we couldn’t be happier for the player!

“This latest big win epitomises the beauty of Jackpot King and why it continues to be an integral part of an operator’s online casino offering. The progressive pots that offer huge cash prizes are still hugely important to players worldwide.

“We’re adding more titles to the Jackpot King library over the coming months and look forward to announcing more big winners in the future.”
