The Playtech flagship progressive jackpot Beach Life has been hit for a whopping $5.9 million late last week. The only time that this progressive jackpot online slot game has recorded a larger payout was way back in 2012 when a very lucky player took home $8.2 million. Neither Playtech nor the online casino where the hit was made has revealed the name of the winner. The details of this story should be out in a week or so after the verification process is complete. But this much can be said with certainty that someone somewhere landed five sun symbols on the 20th payline of the Beach Life online slot.

Beach Life is now ticking away at $90,000 and it will be a while before it will come on the radar of players at Playtech online casinos. For now, Gold Rally is the progressive jackpot online slot game to watch out for. It breached the million dollar mark round the time Beach Life was hit. It is presently ticking at $1.1 million. Gold Rally on an average pays about $500,000 and hits about every three weeks. It has exceeded both indicators and therefore online casino players feel that a hit is imminent.

Gold Rally is popular not only because it is a high payout progressive jackpot game. It has a unique reels and paylines structure that is a trademark of Playtech. The symbols on the reels are displayed in a three by three matrix with each position spinning independently. So in a sense there are nine reels. Gold Rally has are eight paylines in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. The scale is the symbol to watch out for. You are awarded scatter payouts when five or more scale symbols appear on the reels. When the scale appears on all nine places the progressive jackpot is hit. So the rush is on at Playtech online casinos to land the scale everywhere on the reels.

The other jackpot that seems to be ready for a hit is the Ultimate Power tier of the Marvel Mystery jackpot. It has just crossed the $700,000 mark. This progressive jackpot is a little different because it is triggered randomly. You need not get any alignment of symbols on the reels. When the bonus game is triggered you will definitely win one of the Marvel Mystery jackpots. The bonus game is so structured that the Ultimate Power Jackpot is hit least often.
