Our Biggest Progressive Jackpot Slot Winners of Summer

The summer months may now be behind us, but they left behind some memorable moments at Virgin Games. Between June and August 2025, players saw progressive jackpots reach impressive totals across a range of our most popular online slots. 

From a £23,000 win on a film-themed slot to over £10,000 from a 20p spin, these results highlight just how rewarding progressive jackpot slots can be. And with our Jackpot Blast feature available, there are even more ways to see progressive prizes triggered across both slots online and live casino games. 

At Virgin Games, we're serious about play, and that means showing you not only the biggest winners of the summer, but also what makes each game unique.

What Are Progressive Jackpots? 

Progressive jackpots are prize pools that increase over time. A small percentage of each eligible bet contributes to the pot, which continues to grow until it's awarded. Once a jackpot is won, it resets to its starting "seed" value and begins building again. 

This makes progressive jackpots different from fixed payouts, which are determined solely by reel combinations. With a progressive jackpot, you’re playing for a separate prize that can reach significant totals. 

Here's a look at the biggest jackpot wins from June, July, and August 2025.

• Major (seeds at £1,000)
