Release Summary: Vernons Pools has announced that the UKs biggest
ever online slot machine jackpot is set to be paid out
Press
Release Body: Vernons Pools, a leading UK online
gaming company, has seen a tenfold increase in online slots players
over the last six months, with the growth in players driving the
jackpot of its 'Clover Rollover' slot game past
the £1.2 million mark - making it one of the biggest online
slot machine jackpots in the world.
The
jackpot has grown by £250,000 a month since April this year,
even increasing at a rate of £10,000 a day on occasions,
as online gamers clamour to line up five shamrocks to claim the
top prize.
It's
not the only online slot
game promising mammoth jackpots, as another Vernons'
game, Cleopatra's Chest has already passed the £250,000
mark, with total jackpots across seven games reaching £1.8
million and rising.
Recent
research into online gaming
trends reveals that currently 62 per cent of online slot machine
players are female, with the game proving particularly popular
with players aged between 35-50. As the number of overall online
gamers and levels of spending continues to buck the economic trend,
it has been slots that have seen the biggest jump in popularity,
being simple to play and offering higher chances to win than many
other popular games.
Martin
Williams, e-gaming manager for Vernons.co.uk, said: "It seems
that there's no limit to the size of jackpots that can be won
on online slots.
Having our Clover Rollover jackpot rise by up
to £10,000 a day is simply staggering, and demonstrates
the growth of the online slot machine phenomenon across the UK."
