Dry reels? Not at Joe’s. These Big Winners were doused in cash.

We’re back again, Fortune-ites!

If you thought last month was a corker, wait until you see the absolute scenes January has served up for our Joe Fortune winners. While half the country was busy suffering through Dry January, a few of my legendary jackpot winners were having a month that was doused in the cold, wet splash of cash landing in their wallets.

Let’s get into it and toast to the legends who started their 2026 with a “cha-ching!”

Cassidy from NSW won $100,000 on Crystals on Fire

First cab off the rank is Cassidy. I’d say she didn’t get the memo that January is for laying low. Instead, she lit a bonfire in New South Wales in the Crystals on Fire pokie. She ended her session with a cool hundred grand, becoming our biggest slots winner from last month.

If you’re yet to give this pokie a whirl, it can be explained as taking a trip to a jewellery store in a dark fantasy world, minus the big-wig bloke in a suit sizing you up. Instead, you’re facing a mystic crystal collector who’ll turn your crystals into cash. And no, she doesn’t work at Cash Converters.

Collecting crystal symbols gives you a chance of triggering one of 5 fixed jackpots that range between 5x and 1,000x your bet.

Forming the word ‘BONUS’ with lettered symbols on all five reels will launch you into a bonus game where you can unlock instant wins and jackpots. That’s sure to light a fire in your pants. That’s where you keep your wallet on you, right? I’m a professional…mostly.

This pokie is the fire that keeps on burning. It’s built on a 3-4-5-4-3 reel setup that pays both ways. With a 96% RTP and a max win of 2,113x your bet, it’s no wonder Cassidy took home a bucketload.

Isaac from NSW won $37,750 on Cyberpunk City

Isaac clearly knows how to handle a high-tech heist, walking away with a massive $37,750 after taking control of Cyberpunk City.

This game’s main character reminds me of a certain Sheila with attitude. She’s a feral cool girl, but earn her respect, and she’ll reward your patience. Am I describing Chrissy Amphlett? Maybe, but last time I checked, the Divinyls weren’t handing out 40,000x max wins per spin.

We’ve got a pokies theme for everyone here at Joe’s, and this 5×3 video slot is a cracker with the sci-fi fans. It feels like a motion picture, like if Sam Flynn from Tron: Legacy worked in a dilapidated noodle shop and Rick Deckard from Blade Runner threw a hotdog at a facial recognition billboard ad that calls him “City’s Special Boy.”

It boasts two types of wilds and a random progressive jackpot, and the soundtrack alone will encourage you to crank up the speakers. With Isaac’s big win, he’s probably already pre-ordered a set of floor-standing Bang & Olufsen speakers from Harvey Norman.

Cyberpunk City boasts a solid Return to Player (RTP) of 96%, giving you a fair crack at your win back. When the “Cyber” and “Punk” symbols land on reels 1 and 5, you trigger 10 free spins, where a 3x multiplier triples every win.

David from QLD won $52,450 on Crystals on Fire

Our next Joe Fortune jackpot winner is David from Queensland, who just snagged a riveting $52,450 on Crystals on Fire. There it is again! Something tells me this game is fire.

Now, to be clear, this pokie is not referring to the crystals the spiritual-type brings home from Byron. The main character, who is also the wild symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4, is a mysterious lady with long, flowing red hair. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say she might be from Mullumbimby.

While you won’t find any incense here, this pokie does come with five fixed jackpots. And from that perspective, I think we can all agree that landing $52K in the bank feels like a spiritual experience.

Our red-headed mystic holds the Crystals of Fire as you spin. The more crystal symbols you collect on the reels, the higher the chance they’ll explode and trigger the Jackpot Wheel. With five fixed jackpots scaling up to 1,000x your bet, it’s a much better way to manifest wealth than holding a rock. But hey, what do I know? I’m just Joe.

Katie from NSW won $51,400 on 777 Deluxe

Katie, playing pokies in New South Wales, pocketed a massive slot machine mega win of $51,400 on 777 Deluxe. This modern take on a trusted classic reminds me of Sale of the Century, but with a progressive jackpot to take home rather than a set of steak knives.

This classic, 5-reel beaut features a solid 96.14% RTP and pays left-to-right, right-to-left, and even across the middle reels. When three question mark icons appear on the reels, they transform into scatters to trigger the bonus round. Here, you line up matching 7s to win multipliers up to 250x.

It’s not exactly Tony Barber handing you a lounge suite or a holiday voucher, but you will go home with a progressive jackpot if you line up three golden 7s. If that isn’t worth a polite round of applause, then I don’t know what is.

Katie, we wouldn’t blame you if you’re feeling a bit fruity after this. A payout like that calls for a Bahama Mama cocktail on Oxford St.

George from NSW won $30,006 on Mummy’s Jewels

George, our big slots winner from New South Wales, is doing the “Walk Like an Egyptian” dance right about now, as he should, after taking home a tidy $30K on Mummy’s Jewels.

While most of us blokes are struggling to find our car keys in the morning, George has just braved an ancient, unmapped pokie, emerging victorious, cradling his precious family jewels: three fixed jackpots and a 10,000x max win. What did you think I meant?

This 5-reel adventure treats you to 243 paylines and a rock-solid 96.5% RTP. The sun god Ra is personally keeping an eye on your bankroll. If his “Eye” lands on the first reel, it collects every Money symbol in sight.

There are three kinds of wilds—purple, green, and red jewels. As you collect the jewels, they can trigger either the Upgrade, Extra, or Respin features or a combination. Basically, it’s “here comes the aeroplane!” in reverse. You’re the one feeding the mummy. The more jewels you feed, the more likely you are to trigger a feature and win a jackpot. Life imitates art, does it not?

George, props to you. You’ve managed to bandage up a win that’s truly biblical. Perhaps you should make like a mummy and ‘wrap up’ your errands early to celebrate.

Now that’s what we call a hall of fame! A huge congrats to these legends for proving that while the rest of the country is busy breaking resolutions, the real winners are here at Joe’s, cracking on and making bank with slot machine mega wins. Think you’ve got the stones to see your name in lights next month? Fire up the reels and let’s see if we can make next month one for the history books.
