Last week saw a flurry of slot jackpot wins in UK and North American casinos. One lucky winner surfaced at a Birmingham casino, where this bride-to-be walked away with a cool £10,237 after playing slot machines at Five Ways. With her marriage set for next month, we’re sure this sum will give the honeymoon a bit of an extra kick.

She had been the first jackpot winner since new UK slot legislation had passed on 14 January. The new legislation increased the maximum stakes on machines falling under category B1 from £2 to £5 and resulting jackpot prizes increased from £4,000 to £10,000. Progressive game jackpots can reach even higher sums, topping out at £20,000.

A second lucky winner preferred to remain anonymous, but we can tell you he took home over £12,000 on a Stratford casino slot machine. Casino representatives were thrilled at the win and had this to say of the occasion,

It’s great to see someone was able to scoop such a big win so soon after the new legislation came in to force, now we’re waiting to see if anyone can claim the full £20,000 progressive jackpot in the coming weeks.

The UK isn’t the only place where big jackpots are being won. A lucky Canuck will be wearing a smile twice as wide this year thanks to a $1,000,000 jackpot he landed on New Year’s Eve playing a Canadian casino slot machine. One Alabama resident playing in a Mississippi casino won back-to-back $90,000 jackpots on January 1st and 2nd as well, which just goes to show how you can never tell where the next jackpot will strike.
