The winner, a regular bgo player under the alias ‘Hilton', played Beach Life (a progressive slot) for £10 per spin when the gigantic jackpot triggered (the second biggest Beach Life jackpot in history)...

Congratulations on a great win,I hope he enjoys his winnings but if he is a player that spends £10 a spin on slots then I can see that amount of money having chunks out of it very quickly!

Great news for this player and for the casino players' community, knowing again it is possible. But remember, it requires a little effort to reach it. First of all, it won't happen to all, and second, take in consideration Hilton was a "regular" and was playing "£10 spins", which means it was a big investment. Still, it is possible, and one can only get it trying.

great amount of virtual dollaros to win! well actually not that many if he starts spending it on his nieces, nephews and friends (i'm sure he will suddenly have more friends than he ever thought he had before). probably the wisest thing he can do is to take that money and hit the nosebleed tables, or roulette in vegas and try to become a billionaire, then he can spend it even on vodka.

This is what every gambler dreams about, a life changing win. Many congratulations to 'Hilton' on this mega win and i really hope he enjoys spending his winnings and doesnt gamble it all back
1 pound spins I can understand, 2-3 pounders too if he is wagering a bonus but 10 quid/spin from his own money is ridiculously out there in addict territory. If he really have a deep bankroll what the hell is he doing on slots anyway. BGO will probably win some of this back 'cuz I am sure he'll raise his stakes.

I think the max bet from a bonus at most sites is around £$6 so it was probably his own deposit but I have played slots plenty of times and you can go a couple of hundred spins with no bonus or big wins.If I was a millionaire I wouldn't play £10 a spin.
I'll help you out - if I was a millionaire I wouldn't play slots at all. Even roulette is more +EV than this and we all know that both of them is far from being +EV at all tbh. Millionaires just gamble on the economy 'cuz it's suits them better.

I think it depends if you can distinguish if you play them for fun or to actually make money.If I was fairly rich I would be quite happy to play the jackpot games but I think playing £1 a spin is more than enough.You don't have to bet big do you?I have seen these jackpots go for 15p spins.

Well klash, I think for fun - playing 0.50 worth of stakes would be just as good as the five pounder ones, but very hard to find a compulsive gambler who feels fun and enjoying himself when a video slot just gutting his balance away even at a lower than low stake. If I happen to win a million anywhere would probably quit gambling completely. Never going to top that so why bother trying? Even recreational gambling would make zero sense after a payout like that.
