Usually, when a report of a big online pokies win appears, the jackpot has been won by an avid pokies player. Just earlier this month, a lucky player hit a big jackpot win while playing at Vera&John, and several other substantial pokies wins have also been announced this month.
However, a new turn of events has made a more unlikely player a big winner recently at the Glossy Bingo online casino site. In fact, the lucky player in question was trying mobile pokies as a change from her usual bingo games when she landed her prize!
According to a recent press release from the casino, the player who, by her own admission, usually exclusively enjoys bingo, hit a massive pokies jackpot instead. Mandy Bowman had decided to try online pokies for the first time earlier this month, choosing Microgaming’s popular Major Millions as the game to play.
Mandy was playing from her mobile phone when she hit the win – which was worth a whopping NZ$2.12 million. Bowman started to play the Major Millions mobile pokies for real money after winning $704 in mobile bingo, a move that turned out to be very beneficial to her.
According to the Glossy Bingo report, Mandy Bowman was down to her last few dollars in her player account while playing the pokies, when she chose to spin the reels one last time before ending her gaming session for the night.
This was the spin that changed the player’s life, surprising her with a multi-million dollar cash win.
In a statement to her mobile casino operator, Mandy admitted that she is not normally a high roller when it comes to gambling, nor is she a frequent pokies player. The player mentioned that she enjoys a game or two of real money bingo about once a month, but is always careful with her bankroll and never wagers more than she can comfortably afford. She is not yet sure how she plans to spend her winnings.
The bingo player’s win indicates to future players that they don’t have to bet thousands in order to win a life-changing amount at an online casino. Even casual players can win big, as has been proven many times this year with a variety of big wins that have struck at online casinos around the world.
