Mega Moolah Jackpots Create Millionaires

As everyone who has the bare minimum of experience with slots knows, Mega Moolah is one hell of a slot game – not least because it regularly produces some pretty mind-blowing jackpots that have people rubbing their eyes at first, possibly needing a resuscitation afterwards and finally jumping in ecstasy for their life just took a turn for the fast lane, totally out of the blue.

In fact, this Microgaming masterpiece is still the undisputed world record holder (Guinness Book of World Records has it all in black and white) for the “Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game” from October 2015 and for generating the largest ever mobile jackpot win in August 2016.

We are happy to see this reputation untarnished as this year has been no exception when it comes to massive payouts on this game. A punter of Grand Mondial Casino won a staggering amount of €4,603,056.85 on April 19th! The super-lucky player has earned his winnings in one piece, because all of Microgaming's progressive jackpots are paid out in a total sum and not in installments. In fact, the supplier’s progressive jackpot network has cashed out a mega jackpot in each month of 2018 so far!

Let's revisit this year's timeline of epic wins on Microgaming's jackpot network. First, we had that stunning start to the year when on January 14th a €2,424,117.20 jackpot was cashed out at Zodiac Casino. On February 27th, there was another behemoth of a win, totaling €4,769,344.11 – this happened to a player from Royal Vegas Casino. On March 8th, a €4,365,843.63 jackpot was hit on Captain Cook's Casino.

And now for the cruncher, brace yourselves; to date, the brand’s progressive jackpot network has paid out...over €874 million!

Naturally, this made quite an impression on David Reynolds, Games Publisher: “We all thought 2017 would be a hard year to top after the network paid out over €150 million in jackpots, but 2018 is shaping up to be a huge year for Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network! Multi-millionaires have been made each month so far and we are incredibly proud to offer the largest progressive jackpot network in the industry.”
