Mobile casinos are becoming increasingly popular amongst owners of smartphones since they allow instant access to casino style games from any location at any time.

The biggest mobile casino slot jackpot in the history of mobile gaming has just been awarded in Britain. LadyLuck’s mobile casino presented a £17,732 check to a lucky lady playing the popular Pharaoh’s Fortunes mobile slot with only a 30 pence bet. Had she played with £5 she would’ve won £260,000.

This lucky mobile slots game has already paid out over eighty jackpots since its introduction in 2010, worth over £345,000. This time Carol Fitzgeorge, a cab driver from Great Yarmouth was the lucky winner.

In her recent interview she told journalists she learned about mobile gambling while surfing the net on her smartphone and thought she’d give the slot a try, while waiting for her next fare. Carol shared her excitement: “I couldn’t believe my luck when I hit the jackpot as it was such a big amount to win from just a 30p spin. My partner and I initially wanted to keep quiet about the win but the excitement got the better of us!”

The Managing Director of LadyLuck’s mobile casino, Matthew Sunderland said: “We were absolutely thrilled when Carol scooped our biggest ever jackpot playing one of our most popular games – Pharaoh’s Fortunes. Our customers have told us that the chance to win massive jackpots is a crucial driving factor in the choice of games they play. We’re planning to launch several new exciting jackpot games in the future and the jackpots will only get bigger!”
