Nigel Hartland, general manager of the winning location commented: “We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate the lucky winner.”

He added: “It’s great to see someone was able to scoop such a big win so soon after the new legislation came in to force, now we’re waiting to see if anyone can claim the full GBP 20,000 progressive jackpot in the coming weeks.”

The new rule allows for a higher maximum jackpot and the amount that can be won from a single slot machine went more than double from GBP 4,000 to GBP 10,000. The maximum stake also increased from GBP 2 to GBP 5 in B1 category machines, which also includes slot machines.
