There have been no new games released at Omni Casino for a few weeks. The reason is that everyone is playing Jackpot Giant. When this video slot has a progressive jackpot ticking at over $12.2 million why will anyone play any other game. There are some unanswered questions though regarding Jackpot Giant.

The progressive jackpot has been hit only once since the Jackpot Giant slot game was launched in August 2015. That was in January 16, when a player won $6.4 million. The jackpot was reset to its base amount and has continued rising unabated since then. Two years have gone by and there has been no hit. So the question is whether the jackpot will keep rising and rising for ever. Players at Omni Casino are clearly in no mood to take a chance. The opportunity to take home 12 million dollars is not something to let go.

Jackpot Giant is a Playtech online slot in the 5x3 format with 50 payline. The scene is set in in the Stone Age. The low paying symbols are brightly coloured gems and playing card icons sculpted in stone. The giant appears as a stacked symbol in two different forms. In one he is behind a volcano and in the other he is behind a clump of trees. The gold coins awards scatter payouts multiplied by the total bet. The Giant Bonus feature is triggered when the volcano symbol lands simultaneously on reels 1 and 5. You have to pick three of the six volcanoes displayed on the second screen for random bonus amounts. You can also reveal an Extra Pick option or Win All option.

However the most important feature in Jackpot Giant is the progressive jackpot. It is not randomly triggered as has become the practice in video slots today. You will have to wager the maximum stake of $4 in order to be eligible. Then you will need to get five wild symbols on the first payline 1 that runs straight across the reels on the middle row in order to lay your hands on $12 million. If you get 5 wild symbols on any other payline, you will win 50,000 times your line bet.

The total value of all progressive jackpots at Omni Casino is set to breach the $100 million mark. The next after Jackpot Giant is Beach Life, which is ticking away at $2.5 million. This is a much older and more reliable progressive jackpot, but for now all eyes are on $12 million.
