The players – ages 24 and 25 – were playing French Fortune eMillions at Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm when they triggered the jackpot at 3:10 p.m. on Sunday, June 28.
Once the overwhelmed winners finished their celebratory dance through the casino they were taken to the casino’s VIP area to have a quiet drink and come to grips with what had just happened. They immediately started planning what to do with the money and weren’t short of ideas. Eventually though they postponed all planning, took 815 euros of their prize to celebrate their win and ventured out into the Stockholm nightlife to celebrate their fortune.
eMillions gives every player a chance to become a millionaire. Players must play max bet to qualify for the minimum us$ 512,092 progressive jackpot, but players who bet less than max bet are still eligible for the 2,000,000-credit jackpot. EMillions also features a unique re-spin feature, offering more chances at the jackpot and rewarding players who bet more. In Sweden eMillions is run by Casino Cosmopol, linking their 4 locations Göteborg, Malmö, Stockholm and Sundsvall to the eMillions WAP.
“We are of course delighted that the eMillions jackpot and at the same time the biggest jackpot ever in Sweden has been awarded to players at our casino in Stockholm. Our guests are enjoying playing for the chance to win the us$ 512,092 progressive jackpot. We are confident that the eMillions machines will continue to be one of the important focal points for players in Casino Cosmopol venues,” said Erik Söber, Duty Manager Casino Cosmopol, Stockholm.
"Atronic is very pleased and excited to announce the highest jackpot hit in Sweden ever. Winning a huge jackpot is a life changing experience and with Atronic’s eMillions this can happen any time in one of the four Cosmopol casinos. We keep our fingers crossed that the next jackpot will be awarded soon," says Michael Seils, Atronic’s Regional Sales Manager for Sweden.
