Gladiator Jackpot pays out biggest win ever: £2.7m to William Hill Casino punter

A William Hill Casino player has won £2.7million on Gladiator Jackpot Slots. Playtech's mega-money progressive jackpot dropped the prize over the Easter break. It is the biggest win ever to be recorded on the slot - eclipsing the previous record by a substantial six figures. 

The previous record was set in October 2013 - a player won £2million at the now closed Winner Casino.

The last recorded progressive win for Gladiator slots was £1.3million back in August 2018. This means that over 600 days have elapsed since the last jackpot win.

William Hill is yet to comment on the un-named winner - but they did announce the exciting news on their promotion page. 

Congratulations to the lucky jackpot champion!

Gladiator Jackpot is a Playtech slot based on the 2000 blockbuster film hit starring Russel Crowe. It's one of the developers best-loved games thanks to the stunning design and faithfulness to the movie.

As expected of a movie slot, you will find familiar characters on the reels featuring as high-value symbols. 

Unfortunately, the brave gladiator Maximus only appears as a shrouded silhouette - indicating Russel Crowe declining to be a part of the game. Despite the omission, the game captures the brutal essence of the millennium masterpiece. 

What's most appealing about the slot is the number of bonuses to enjoy. Of course the jackpot steals the headlines, but there are lucrative features to distract while you play.

First off is the Coliseum Bonus, which takes you to a separate set of reels where you play for free spins and bonus round modifiers. The 4 rows determine your free spins, multiplier and extra bonus symbols that will appear. There's a chance to win up to 24 free spins with a 3x multiplier.

Next up is the Gladiator Jackpot Bonus feature. This is a tombola-style 3x3 grid of squares, awarding various prizes like instant wins and multipliers.

Finally, there’s the progressive jackpot itself, achieved by landing nine gladiator helmets anywhere on the reels. This is a novel approach to jackpots, which are usually won at random based on stake sizes. 

But in this Playtech slot - you do have to actually score a specific combo of symbols. Unlike other jackpot games, only one single jackpot is offered.

The slot is available at William Hill Casino - who is giving all new players a 100% buy-in bonus up to £300.
