The weekend was an eventful and lucky period for US player Carri.M, who hit a record-breaking US$ 1,853,875.84 on a bet of $16 last Saturday playing Playtech's 8 line progressive Gold Rally at Swiss Casino.com.
The previous record for online progressive jackpot wins was held by a European player who won $1.6 million on the MGS-Jackpot Madness Major Millions progressive.
Thirty-something Carri.M has been a regular at Swiss Casino, owned by the IOG Casinos Limited in Antigua since January of this year. She deposited $110 on Saturday April 30 and played for around 1 hour and 20 minutes before she hit the jackpot.
A casino spokesman confirmed that the full amount of the win would be transferred in one payment, and revealed that free financial advice was being offered to the winner.
