Pennsylvania Online Slot Jackpots Take Off With People Staying At Home

By Brian Pempus

The sports world is on indefinite hiatus thanks to an ongoing health crisis in the U.S. and around the globe, but Pennsylvania online casinos are still giving everyone stuck at home in the Keystone State an opportunity for some entertainment and a chance to win some serious cash.

Retail casinos in the state are also closing for at least two weeks.

Online gaming can help take your mind off what is happening in the country, but, as always, gamble responsibly and consider not playing if you are feeling anxious or depressed in these times.

The Divine Fortune progressive slot jackpots in particular have soared as people are cooped up at home. Prior to the coronavirus crisis, it wasn’t uncommon for six-figure main jackpot prizes, but now it looks like it’s becoming the new normal for Pennsylvania mobile casinos.

On Monday morning, many were well into six figures, and Penn Bets offers readers exclusive bonus offers.

On Friday, the jackpots were:

  • SugarHouse: $180,000
  • FanDuel: $163,000
  • Hollywood: $142,000
  • Parx: $58,000
  • Unibet: $28,000

What is Divine Fortune?

Based on ancient Greek mythology, the online casino offering has five reels with three rows and 20 pay-lines. The game is considered the most popular iSlot offering in the market.

The jackpot bonuses can be won with any bet, but bigger spins can result in better odds. Divine Fortune has multiple ways to earn extra spins, but the most important is the “Falling Wild” Pegasus symbols. These wilds stay on the reel, moving one spot down while you get an extra spin.

If you are lucky enough to spin another wild on this space, it becomes a “Wild on Wild” and the Pegasus is spread out across all three rows of that reel (at least three more spins with wilds remaining on the field).

This feature is pivotal, because it drastically increases your chances of collecting three of the scattered Bonus Coin symbols, which is the only way to unlock the game’s jackpot bonuses.

Triggering the bonus game allows you multiple spins to earn other prizes and additional coins. Completing one or two rows awards the static minor or major jackpot prizes, but filling all three rows results in the full mega progressive jackpot and heaps of cash.
