About Major Millions
At the time of writing this article the jackpot on Major Millions was already sitting at over $270,000. Not surprising when the base prize is a quarter of a million dollars. The game costs $3 per spin and has a classic three reel format.

The wild symbol is the key to winning the biggest prizes including the progressive. It also acts a win multiplier for the smaller wins. Much like Double Diamonds one wild multiplies you win by two and two wilds quadruple your win. Get three and you are in the money.

Three wilds pays either $25,000, $50,000 or the progressive depending on which line they appear on. Each coin adds a new line so playing maximum bet on every spin is an absolute must if you are going for the top pay.
