Playboy Fortunes and 9 Pots of Gold to Get King Millions Treatment

GameBurger Studios, the folks who have brought us quite a few exciting games through Games Global’s distribution network, have some new titles with King Millions jackpots in the pipeline. One of them is a tried and tested 9 Pots of Gold slot and the other perhaps a little kinkier, is Playboy Fortunes. The first will be out before the end of this month, and the latter on 4 March 2024. Let’s get you up to date with these upcoming games and the King Millions jackpot status as of today.

Games Global Jackpots

Games Global has had some of the craziest progressive jackpot runs recently. On December 20^th, its WowPot! jackpot paid out almost €38.5 million – a record in online slots. Then, on Christmas Eve, a Book of Mega Moolah high roller struck gold at Betway Casino, winning €13,528,145.61 from a €20 bet. The group’s latest jackpot addition, King Millions was announced last summer and it too is expected to reach heights of €30 million in its lifetime. It hasn’t received quite the attention as the other progressive jackpots, but it looks like it’s gaining momentum and the announcement of two new games in the first quarter of the year is a testament to that. However, weird as it’s been with some of their slots series – it’s still one and the same game, with the jackpot!

King Millions Jackpot Overview

King Millions was designed to give online casino operators more freedom to customize it to their liking. This also means that no two King Millions slots will be alike at different sites. However, the premise is the same for all of them. The King Millions jackpot stands out with its two exclusive jackpots, each with a specific cap:

• GRAND Jackpot: This jackpot starts at €2 million (approximately $2.2 million), with a standard contribution rate of 3.4%. Players can anticipate winning over €30 million, with expected occurrences of 1-2 times annually.
• MAJOR Jackpot: Beginning at €1 million (about $1.1 million), the MAJOR Jackpot has a default contribution of 1.1%. It offers an expected win exceeding €3 million, with the jackpot typically being won 3-4 times yearly.

The jackpot gets triggered randomly, like the rest from Games Global, but the more you bet, the better the chances. Once activated, a bonus wheel will appear with not only the MAJOR and GRAND prizes but also smaller ones that range between 7x and 100x the bet. According to official stats, the jackpot bonus wheel should appear every 450 spins on average regardless of stake size.

King Millions Slots

The first game that launched with King Millions was 9 Masks of Fire. The game after that was Hyper Strike King Millions. However, just like the original releases on which these are based, these are two identical games with different themes. If you know GameBurger, you should also know that both 9 Pots of Gold and Playboy Fortunes are also designed on the same chassis. Here’s what they all have in common:

Epic Strike feature that awards fixed bet multipliers of up to 2,000x, plus a Free Spins bonus that comes with up to 30 free spins and an x3 multiplier to boot, plus possible re-triggers down the line. RTP of 86%, plus a 4.50% jackpot contribution, for a total RTP of 90.50%. However, remember that this is subject to change, within limits, depending on where you play. The hit rate is at a very comfortable 41.93% and volatility is set to low.

Final Thoughts

King Millions, depending on where you play, is as of writing this blog post, over €4m for GRAND and €1.5m for MAJOR. Despite the lack of originality linked to the above, its family of slots is poised to grow in 2024 with at least two more titles. However, given that this is a customisable jackpot, there is a chance that operators may be able to differentiate each, otherwise identical game, with minor stat adjustments, like the RTP and jackpot contribution. If anything, at least now you know what to expect or look for when you come across it at any of the Microgaming casinos.
