Mike K. Dominates the Reels for Over $1 Million
Mike K. didn’t just have a lucky year with Bovada; he owned it. His staggering $1.39 million total came primarily from an incredible streak on 3 Pots of Coins, during which he landed six jackpots totaling over $1.19 million. Those wins included jackpots of $203,290, four separate $200,000 hits, and a $196,602 payout – an almost unheard-of run on a single title.
3 Pots of Coins is built for explosive volatility, featuring expanding reels, multipliers, wilds, free spins, and four progressive jackpots unlocked through red clover symbols. Mike’s repeated jackpot success suggests multiple Grand or Major jackpot triggers inside the clover collection feature, a rare run that reshaped his bankroll.
Mike didn’t stop there. He added another $194,112 jackpot to Piñata Party, an instant-win title featuring multipliers and a multi-level bonus wheel that can deliver 1,500x payouts. Whether smashing candy multipliers or unlocking jackpot clovers, Mike’s consistency across different game styles made him the clear king of 2025.
Jordan E. Surges Past $600K Across Two Jackpot Titles
Jordan E. stacked an impressive $605,735 total by hitting big on two very different machines. His largest single win came on Pearl Pursuit – Hold and Win: Hot Drop Jackpots, where he captured a $315,689 payout. Given the size of the prize and the game’s jackpot structure, this win almost certainly came from the Epic Hot Drop Jackpot, which grows continuously until triggered.
Pearl Pursuit blends 243 ways to win with Hold and Win mechanics, cash and gold pearl multipliers, and free spins that can stack multipliers up to 27x your stake. The Epic jackpot sits above the reels in a live countdown, and when the timing aligns, any spin can instantly trigger it.
Jordan followed that up with another $290,046 win on Reels and Wheels XL, landing one of the top-tier jackpots on the Jackpot Wheel feature. With free spins carrying multipliers up to 10x and wheel bonuses reaching 500x, Jordan’s two-game sweep comes in second on our board.
John B. Masters Mystic Elements for $484,032
John B. demonstrated belief in the gaming gods on Mystic Elements, landing three massive jackpots totaling approximately $162,000 each, for a combined $484,032. Mystic Elements uses progressive jackpot mechanics tied directly to its Light Symbol feature, which can trigger jackpots when enough light symbols land simultaneously.
With free spins retriggering up to 150 spins and mystery symbols constantly reshaping the reels, John’s repeated jackpots suggest multiple successful Light Symbol triggers – a rare sequence that helped him make nearly half a million.
Denetress F. Scores Big Across Plinko and Slots for $438,838
Denetress F. blended arcade-style volatility with classic slot power, banking $438,838 total across two titles. His largest hit came on Touchdown Plinko, where he scored a $250,000 payout. With maximum multipliers reaching 10,000x and re-spin mechanics that recycle balls so they can drop into pockets with bigger multipliers, you know the ball dropped into the perfect place.
He followed that with a $233,838 win on 777 Deluxe, a multi-directional slot featuring Question Mark mystery symbols that unlock bonus reels and progressive jackpots. Combining two completely different games proved that mixing casino game styles can have lucrative results.
Ethan V. Unlocks $415,413 on A Night With Cleo: Hot Drop Jackpots
Ethan V. earned a massive $415,413 win on A Night With Cleo: Hot Drop Jackpot, almost certainly from the Epic Hot Drop Jackpot tier. It layers traditional free spins and wild substitutions with Hot Drop jackpot mechanics that can trigger randomly if you’re in the right place at the right time.
With hourly, daily, and epic jackpots always ticking upward, Ethan’s timing aligned perfectly. The base game’s scatter-triggered free spins and multiplier potential helped set the stage for a jackpot moment that paid off in a dramatic fashion.
Vahagh L. Claims $414,185 on Oasis Dreams: Hot Drop Jackpots
Vahagh L. ventured into Oasis Dreams: Hot Drop Jackpot and emerged with a $414,185 payout.
Oasis Dreams combines Hold and Spin mechanics, expanding wilds, and bonus free spins that can introduce hundreds of extra wilds into play. The Hot Drop system overlays these features so it looks like Vahagh survived on those wilds and free spins long enough to hit that Epic Jackpot.
Frankie E. Follows with $339,608 on Oasis Dreams: Hot Drop Jackpots
Not far behind, Frankie E. also struck gold on Oasis Dreams: Hot Drop Jackpot, earning $339,608. The Hot Drop Jackpot feature was dishing out big wins all 2025 and Frankie was another lucky recipient of an Epic payday.
The repeated success of Oasis Dreams across multiple winners highlights how it offers enough spins and multipliers to keep players churning until the big win comes through.
Jacklin B. Stacks $298,344 on Leprechaun’s Golden Trail
Jacklin B. captured two major jackpots on Leprechaun’s Golden Trail: Hot Drop Jackpots, totaling $298,344. The game’s Golden Trail bonus creates a separate board where players advance multipliers up to 4x before unlocking a Super Bonus round that can reach 2,000x your stake.
Combined with Hot Drop jackpots layered on top, Jacklin’s dual wins likely included one timed jackpot and one deep bonus progression.
Andrew D. Hits Twice on Reels and Wheels XL for $277,293
Andrew D. landed two nearly identical jackpots on Reels and Wheels XL, collecting $138,687 and $138,606 for a combined $277,293. These wins likely came from high-tier Jackpot Wheel outcomes, which feature multiple progressive prizes.
With free spins, multipliers up to 10x, and layered wheel bonuses, Reels and Wheels XL has been a consistent cash cow all year.
Eduardo L. Captures $258,319 on A Night With Cleo
Eduardo L. rounded out the Top 10 with a $258,319 win on the standard A Night With Cleo slot. Without Hot Drop Jackpots attached, there’s only one way to take home that much money: a big multiplier win and betting that money in the Double Up feature. The Double Up feature requires players to gamble between two Cleopatra hands; one is a loss, while the other doubles your money. Eduardo took a chance and doubled up all the way to six digits.
Conclusion
What a year. We had nearly $5 million in winnings ($4,925,774.76) amongst just 10 players, proving that anything can happen if you’re in the right place at the right time. Keep your eyes peeled for new slots with new jackpots in 2026; maybe it’s your turn to cash in?
