What’s “in” in the UK today? According to some numbers released last week by Vernons.co.uk, it’s online slots.
Vernons itself is reporting a tenfold increase of players in the past six months, and instant win games are now producing jackpots of £500,000 (approximately $975,000 / €640,000) Vernons own 5-reel luck o’ the Irish-themed Clover Rollover was reporting a jackpot of £674,260 ($1,314,475 / €856,728) waiting to happen as of Friday after two months’ worth of (clover) rollover.

Happy camper and Vernons e-gaming manager Martin Williams said that “We’ve been overwhelmed by the massive surge in online slot machine players over the last few months and can only see the phenomenon and jackpots growing bigger this summer...”

Vernons research also shows that 62% of online slot machine players are female, and online slots gaming is most popular among 35- to 50-year-olds.
