Betsson player lands €3.1m jackpot on Yggdrasil’s Joker Millions


A Betsson player has uncovered more than just chocolates this Easter by winning a colossal €3.1 million jackpot on Yggdrasil’s popular Joker Millions slot game – just over five months after the innovative supplier’s record jackpot of €7.8m fell on the same progressive game.
The player won the life-changing sum after betting just €1.25 on his laptop.
Joker Millions, released in 2015, is one of Yggdrasil‘s most popular global progressive jackpot games alongside Empire Fortune. The classic slot features a built-in jackpot plus powerful base game features, with intuitive gameplay and betting options, meaning that players can instantly play Joker Millions on any mobile or desktop device.
The latest win comes just months after both of Yggdrasil’s global progressive jackpot games, Joker Millions and Empire Fortune, paid out an incredible total of €10m in just a two-week period.
Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil, said: “To have yet another huge jackpot fall is amazing, and I’m pleased that we’re able to reward loyal Yggdrasil slot fans with gigantic prizes.”This is a real Easter treat and we’re thrilled it’s happened on a Betsson site, one of our longest standing partners.”
Karolina Majewska, Gaming Manager at Betsson, said: “We’re delighted to see one of our players win a massive sum of money. This shows the power of high-quality progressive jackpots such as Yggdrasil’s Joker Millions, and the excitement they create. I want to extend my huge congratulations to the winner from everyone at Betsson.”

Dallmeier Shortlisted for the European Casino Awards 2023

Dallmeier, an expert in video technology for casinos, has been shortlisted in two categories for the upcoming European Casino Awards 2023, its Panomera W8 360° cameras as “Best new innovative product” and Casino Automation Technology CAT as “Best table gaming product”.
The Panomera W8 is a 360° camera with 4K resolution ensuring complete 360° coverage without a “blind spot” below the camera. Six sensors are arranged in a circle, a seventh sensor covers the overall scene and an eighth sensor captures the blind spot below the camera. From these eight images, the software then stitches a complete image of the half-sphere around the camera location that has been captured without gaps. Within this overview image, multiple operators can open any number of detail areas with a mouse-click and zoom in and move around in these areas as if it was a PTZ cam.
Casino operators who use such systems report that they regularly reduce the time needed from the detection of an incident to the resolution – e.g., by catching an offender – by a factor of up to 10 or more.
Furthermore, the overall costs for monitoring the gaming floor are reduced. Although the costs per camera are higher than a PTZ system, far fewer cameras need to be installed. The resulting savings in installation, infrastructure, and maintenance as well as in operation itself outweigh the additional costs for the cameras themselves.
