London, 8 July 2019 – The giant has given away his jackpot, with a lucky Ladbrokes casino player scooping a €1,693,062.87 payout – 376,236 times their stake.
With its distinctive central character and striking 3D animation, Jackpot Giant has grown to be one of Playtech’s most popular titles across online and retail since its launch in 2014. Offering one of the largest progressive jackpots in the industry, it consistently features in the company’s top ranked games in several markets internationally. Landing five Wild symbols along payline one nets the player the giant’s ultimate prize.
The seven-figure jackpot was won on a €4.50 spin, and takes the amount paid by Playtech in jackpot prizes to a staggering €187,629,964 for the last year, with an average of 16,037 jackpots paid out each month – a level unmatched elsewhere in the industry.
James Frendo, Director of Casino at Playtech, comments, “Jackpot Giant has become one of Playtech’s most iconic games and characters, so it’s fitting that he has awarded a truly giant, life-changing payout. Ladbrokes is one of our longest-standing partners, and it’s fantastic to have helped make one of their players a millionaire.
“With a portfolio of 80 progressive jackpot games and nearly €188m paid out in jackpot prizes in just a year, Playtech offers an unrivalled proposition for licensees looking to offer their players exciting gameplay and incredible win potential.”

Many congratulations to our lucky player on their amazing win!”
