A few decades ago, you could only play casino games in land-based casinos. Thanks to the internet, you can now enjoy these games at home or while out and about. Though online gambling never guarantees a win, some people have defied the odds and won large cash prizes.

$23.6 Million on Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah

$17.3 Million on Arabian Nights

All wins with wilds are doubled; therefore, if you win with a wild during the free spins round, a x6 multiplier is applied to your winnings. To win the progressive jackpot, you must land five wilds on any of the slot’s 10 paylines.
