Norwegian online punter wins euro 5.1 million on Yggdrasil's Empire Fortune slot

Online gambling games developer Yggdrasil has revealed that its Empire Fortune progressive slot yielded a jackpot of Euro 5,197,198 to a Norwegian player this week.

The player hit the huge jackpot – a record for Yggdrasil’s progressive network – on Betsson’s NorgesAutomaten gaming site last Tuesday evening whilst playing on a mobile device.

Alexis Wicen, managing director of NorgesAutomaten, said: “This is the highest ever win recorded on NorgesAutomaten and it is great to see a customer who registered over nine years ago take it home!”

The Yggdrasil statement gave no details on the player of his plans for the big win.
