Hitting half a million on a progressive slot, though rare, is not unheard of. But winning this amount on a regular slot machine in one day is something to celebrate. And when that win almost coincides with a real occasion of celebration then the joy is doubled. This is exactly what happened with Louise, a regular player at Spin Palace online casino. On July 3, just a day before the American Independence Day, she took home €501,000. The best part of this win was that Louise was playing the American themed Bars & Stripes online slot.

The American flag is known as Stars & Stripes and that has been converted to Bars & Stripes in the slot machine. You will see the flag on many of the symbols on the reels. The video slot uses only thematic symbols. The high symbols include American eagle, Statue of Liberty and American flag. The low symbols are typical American food items such as Thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin pie, burger and fries, hot dog, beer and cookie.

The Bars & Stripes logo is the wild symbol that doubles payouts when making winning combinations. The symbol also awards the highest line payouts. Five wild symbols in an active payline award 5,000 times the line bet and four wild symbols award 1,000 times the line bet. The American pigskin football is the scatter symbol. It awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. Uncle Sam’s top hat is the bonus symbol. When you land three or more anywhere on the reels, a pick an object bonus game will be triggered. You pick one of the triggering symbols for an instant bonus payout.

Bars & Stripes is a five reels and three rows online slot with 25 selectable paylines. You can wager up to 10 coins per payline. The maximum coin size is €1.00. This leads to a maximum line bet of €10 and a maximum total bet per spin of €250. Probably Louise bet large amounts and got lucky with the high variance to notch up the half million payout.
