It has been revealed that the progressive jackpot slot title Beach Life and new online slot game Great Griffin have both noted large wins in the month of February. Whilst Beach Life’s total has been edging higher for some time now, totaling more than eight million, Great Griffin has been highlighted in a number of promotions in an attempt to bring players to this new and enjoyable Microgaming title.
Beach Life Pays Out Over Eight Million
Progressive jackpots are one of the best ways to win instant millions. With many games feeding into one top jackpot, players have the chance to win huge amounts of money and become millionaires within seconds. In February this was the case for one lucky player whose details are yet to be revealed, but who won 8,211,488 million. Beach Life’s total progressive jackpot has been rising for sometime now, passing the eight million mark and quickly rising above its reset value of 50,000 credits. With Valentines only just around the corner, it was won on February 12th, with the player getting the very lucrative payout after five sun icons in the 20th payline were noted.
A Change in Statistics
For players who like to follow the statistics of certain progressive jackpots to assess their chances of winning, the latest win has significantly changed Beach Life’s average figures. With the scale of the latest win, the average payout according to the past five wins now stands at 2.6 million. Meanwhile, the period between wins has also increased from 163 days to 281 days. However, over the last four years Beach Life’s payouts have ranged from 200,000 to the recent 8,200,000, making winnings of the popular progressive jackpot title highly erratic.
Previous Memorable Hits
Whilst the details of the latest player to win have yet to be released, one of Beach Life’s most memorable hits came back in August 2008 when Sylvia P won at Joyland Casino just three weeks after signing up to the online venue. Playing from home, Canada based Sylvia was talking to her brother Henry on the phone whilst playing when she hit the jackpot for four million. At the time, she revealed that players should never lose hope, and should keep their dreams alive that one day they’ll appear in Beach Life’s hall of fame. And it seems that in 2012, one lucky player will do just this.
Great Griffin Player Scores High Payout
Meanwhile, may it may be nowhere near the eight million mark, one lucky player has won €24,531 on new Microgaming title Great Griffin. The slot was only released earlier this month, but has attracted many new fans because of the promotions offering free plays and credit. A number of players have already noted small payouts at Roxy Palace this month when playing Great Griffin, but with the latest €24,000 win, it seems that the title is set to see continued success for the months ahead.
A Great Fantasy Game

Set in the fantasy genre, the reel icons of this game include herbs, potions and a sorceress; all creating an ambiance of magic and mystery for this slot. The griffin, a creature which is half lion and half eagle, is the wild symbol and offers double payouts, with images of a baby griffin hatching from an egg and other with the beautiful bird clutching an egg. When players get the chance to see the Griffin Wild Bonus, the bird flies across the screen and randomly changes a number of the symbols into wild icons.
The Great Griffin logo symbol meanwhile acts as the scatter symbol, and starts a free spins round where players have three options, each of which offers a number of spins and a multiplier. The higher the multiplier, the less free spins a player gets, but all options have a great chance of getting a lucrative win. Finally, with 50paylines, four symbol rows, and a Pick Me bonus to multiply bets by a possible 150 times, Great Griffin has a wide number of ways to win.
Further Fantasy Wins for February
In addition to Roxy Palace’s large win on Great Griffin, the online casino also noted a number of large payouts on fantasy titles such as Goblins Gold, Lucky Charmer and Immortal Romance. Immortal Romance has turned out to be a very popular Microgaming which intertwines the lives of four main characters and is set to see future sequels. Goblins Gold however is not an often played fantasy game. This fantasy only offers three reels, causing many players to avoid it for titles with four reels which also include bonus features. In Goblins Gold, the wild symbol is the goblin itself, and there is a jackpot payout of 3,000 coins. There are also the normal three reel single, double and triple bars in addition to a lantern and a bag of gold.
The final game which also made Roxy Palace’s winners list was Lucky Charmer. This too is a slot not often played and is a surprise mention on the leader board. The game takes place in India, with the main character being a snake charmer. Reel icons include a king cobra, red hot chilies and cobras. A bonus round is also included, with players selecting a flute for the charmer to play, at which point he then strikes up the instrument to open one of snake baskets and reveal the extra bonus credits.
Popular February Play
Whilst February may have been the month of love for many people, with couples celebrating Valentine’s Day on February 14th, for gamblers around the world it proved to be a lucrative start to the year. Both the wins at Roxy Palace and Beach Life’s progressive jackpot payout have proved that there is a lot of money to be won from online slots venues in the months ahead. And, for players lucky enough to snag a progressive jackpot payment, they could be made instant millionaires.
