Microgaming announces a record-breaking jackpot win on its millionaire-maker slot, Mega Moolah.

Known for its massive pay-outs, and life-changing wins, Microgaming’s Mega Moolah has created another instant millionaire, but this time it’s larger than ever before.

On October 7th 2015, just after midnight, UK Betway player Jonathon Heywood hit the mega jackpot, winning £13,213,838.68. Using the exchange rate on the day of the win, this is the equivalent of €17,879,645.12*, making it the largest ever online slot win. As with all Microgaming’s progressive jackpot wins, the astonishing amount will be paid out to the player in a lump sum.

Jonathon, a 26-year-old soldier from Cheshire, couldn’t believe his luck when the life-changing figure splashed up on his screen. But he still managed to make it in to work just hours later!

The lucky winner, Jonathon Heywood, commented: "It’s all so surreal, and I can’t come to terms with it just yet, I just kept staring at my screen and seeing this huge number in my Betway account".

Betway’s spokesman, Alan Alger, added: "We are delighted for Jonathon and having met him the day after his win we can honestly say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer young man. We hope he really enjoys the World Record win".

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, commented: "We have the longest-standing progressive jackpot network, having launched the first internet progressive jackpot in 1998, as well as the biggest, having paid out over half a billion euros to date. Our progressive jackpot network has set many records since its inception, but I’m absolutely overjoyed to say that our software has generated the world’s largest ever online jackpot win. Many congratulations to Jonathon on this life-changing and historic win!"

Microgaming confirms its Mega Moolah progressive slot has been hit at a mountainous €5,375,695.08!

The life-changing jackpot was won on 9th April 2015 by Royal Vegas player, Mark A, spinning on his mobile phone. The player will take home a total of €5,375,695.08, receiving a single cash payout in full rather than an annuity, so Mark A has become an instant millionaire.

John Quinn, Head of Casino at Microgaming, comments: "We’ve been watching the progressive ticker grow substantially over the last few weeks; anticipation was building as to when it was going to strike! Once again the jackpot was hit via a mobile device; it really is a sign of today’s industry and how prevalent mobile is! Congratulations to Mark A on becoming one of the biggest jackpot winners in Microgaming’s history."

Spokesperson for Royal Vegas, adds: "Mark A had only been a player with us for 7 days; I don’t think you could ask for a better start to playing at Royal Vegas! One of our senior VIP executive hosts had the pleasure of phoning Mark to confirm the win and to congratulate him; to say he was elated is an understatement. Everyone here at Royal Vegas would like to congratulate Mark on this mammoth and historic win."

Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network is the largest in the industry; to date it has paid out over €487 million.

Microgaming’s Mega Moolah Jackpot has been hit by a Spin Palace Casino player; Jorge S has won a mammoth 2,384,388.87 Euros!

Jorge S hit the Mega Moolah jackpot on the evening of Wednesday 18th June. Amazed as this mind-blowing sum flashed upon his computer screen, Jorge’s reaction when Spin Palace’s host called to congratulate him on his jackpot win was "Is this for real, did I win? I can’t believe it, how can it happen like this?"

A spokesperson from Spin Palace said: "As a regular player on Spin Palace Casino, we are overjoyed that Jorge S has hit the jackpot and won such an enormous amount! A big congratulations to him on behalf of the entire team at Spin Palace."

Jorge S. is one of a number of Spin Palace players to have hit the jackpot on Mega Moolah, Microgaming’s largest progressive slot. Other winners include Gary L who won £3,744,513.08 – the largest ever jackpot win on a mobile device!

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, commented: "It is always very exciting when a progressive jackpot gets hit – not only for the player, but for the operator and the whole team at Microgaming too! What makes it even more rewarding is that the player will receive a single cash payout in full rather than an annuity, so Jorge has become an instant millionaire!"

Since its launch in 2006, the Mega Moolah jackpot has been extremely popular and created many millionaires. Following this most recent Mega Jackpot win, Microgaming has improved the progressive element of the game so that players will see jackpots accrue to more significant, life-changing amounts in the future. All wins on Microgaming’s Progressive Jackpot Network will continue to get paid out in one single payment. To date, the network has paid out over €440 million.

Mega Moolah, one of the progressive jackpot games offered at Vegas Palms Online Casino has reached a jackpot of over 2.4 million.

The Mega Moolah progressive casino games have almost hit the 2.5 million mark. This popular franchise of slot games features four variants namely, Mega Moolah, Mega Moolah 5-reel Drive, Mega Moolah Isis and Mega Moolah Summertime. Vegas Palms Online Casino is just one of the Fortune Lounge Group of Online Casinos on the Microgamming network that is giving players the opportunity to win this large amount of cash.

Another progressive slot game also offering a huge cash reward is King Cashalot, which has a jackpot of over 1 million attached to it.

The reason these games are increasingly popular among players could certainly have to do with the progressive nature of the jackpot. The premise surrounding these games is simple; the more players that deposit, the more the jackpot increases. This jackpot will continue to grow until a player has successfully claimed victory.

Vegas Palms is also currently running a Mega Moolah promotion, which could prompt players to play the game by offering double rewards points until 12 December. There is also a lucky draw which players could be entered into at the end of December by correctly guessing the Mega Moolah game being played each week in the promotion; there is 2,000 credits to be won in the draw.

Mega Moolah is definitely proving to be an exciting game to play at this stage at Vegas Palms, with increased rewards opportunities for players to delight in.
