Games Global has reported some brilliant news for William Hill players. Three lucky winners each scooped jackpots exceeding £1 million ($1.34 million) in May, with combined winnings totalling £3.15 million ($4.23 million). It was a particularly strong month for Games Global’s progressive jackpot network overall, which handed out more than £11 million ($14.77 million) across over 77,000 individual jackpot wins.
Games Global’s jackpots, which include well-known products such as Mega Moolah™ and WowPot!™, have been highly attractive to players in the licensed online gambling markets. For Games Global, May 2026 proved to be an exceptionally successful month for the payouts of jackpots as there were several payouts exceeding $1 million.
Games behind wins
Bass Cash Deluxe King Millions™ has recently made headlines with two million-pound payouts. Players love the way it connects to the King Millions™ network, which means you get a solid experience whether you’re a regular player or chasing that big win. Coin Collect: Piggy Patrons™ delivered the third major jackpot victory. It’s quite different in style from Bass Cash, but it’s linked to the same jackpot network as well.
The company experienced an excellent month in May, with total winnings exceeding 77,000 and worth over £11 million ($14.77 million). Three William Hill winners were awarded prizes amounting to over £1 million ($1.34 million) each, totalling £3.15 million ($4.23 million). Even though all the attention is paid to million-pound winners, the larger number of wins consisted of smaller prizes that were awarded periodically. Progressive jackpots have become popular because of their special features that distinguish them from other forms of gambling. Among the most sought-after gaming destinations are top-rated online casinos, where players enjoy these premium gaming experiences.
Ofir Gal-Mor, Senior Vice President of Customer Experience & Innovation at Games Global, stated, “Games Global’s progressive networks continue to set industry benchmarks for jackpot content, and the three prizes awarded to William Hill players spotlight the quality and potential of King Millions™. Congratulations to each of them, and to every player who received one of 77,000 jackpots in May.”

Industry shifts & market consolidation
The strong jackpot performance comes at a pivotal moment for William Hill’s parent company. Evoke plc, the owner of William Hill and 888 online casino brands, agreed to a £243 million ($326.7 million) takeover by Greek casino and lottery operator Bally’s Intralot in 2025. The deal was prompted by the UK government’s huge hike in remote gaming duty from 21 to 40 per cent, which Evoke’s CEO said would cost the company up to £135 million ($181.3 million) each year. The buyout valued Evoke at 52p per share, a 77 per cent premium to its recent trading levels, as regulatory pressures encouraged consolidation throughout the competitive landscape.
Despite these headwinds, William Hill’s progressive jackpot partnerships remain a bright spot, demonstrating how quality content continues to engage players even as the broader industry navigates significant regulatory challenges.
Games Global expands into US market
Games Global launched a substantial foray into American igaming. Specifically, in February 2026, Games Global completed the purchase of B2B assets from Digital Gaming Corporation via Super Group. This allowed Games Global to enter the quickly growing market of the United States. As stated by Games Global CEO Walter Bugno, the deal allows Games Global to “enter the rapidly growing US market and enables us to fulfill our mission of becoming a leading player in the global gaming industry.”
