In a stunning display of the power of progressive jackpots, a BetVictor customer in Scotland has officially become a millionaire after triggering a massive £1,744,000 prize.
The win was facilitated through “The Jackpots,” a sophisticated system developed by ThrillTech and deployed across the global portfolio of brands operated by BVGroup.
A Momentous Win from a Minimal Stake
The anonymous player secured the life-altering sum while playing the slot title Magnificent Power Spartan. Remarkably, the top-tier Epic jackpot was activated by a mere 10p side bet, representing the maximum payout available within the current network.
The jackpot infrastructure is powered by ThrillTech’s proprietary ThrillPots technology. This side-bet solution, integrated into the BVGroup environment in December, allows players to qualify for four distinct progressive tiers. The system is designed so that any qualifying spin, regardless of the primary stake size, has the potential to trigger a major prize.
Industry Leaders React to the Milestone
The win marks the first millionaire created since the system’s launch, a milestone celebrated by both the operator and the technology provider.
Eoin Ryan, Director of Sportsbook & eGaming at BVGroup:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to congratulate our first newly created millionaire. This life-changing win perfectly demonstrates how The Jackpots are designed to work, where any spin can trigger any jackpot, including the Epic pot! We’re excited to deliver many more unforgettable moments for our customers over the remainder of the year.”
Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, emphasized the accessibility of the technology:
“Seeing a 10p side bet turn into a £1.7 million win is exactly the kind of moment we built ThrillPots to create. Our vision from day one was to give operators a jackpot solution that genuinely excites players – where every qualifying spin carries real potential, regardless of stake size. This win is a powerful demonstration of that principle in action. Working with BVGroup to launch The Jackpots across the BetVictor portfolio has been a fantastic collaboration.”
Bradtke added that the partnership ensures jackpot mechanics are integrated to enhance player experience while maintaining strict standards of compliance and protection.
