One lucky slot player had an amazing Sunday this week, as he triggered one of the largest online progressive jackpots – The Mega Moolah Mega. The full amount of the jackpot is $11,609,942, and it will be given to the player in a lump sum.
According to Microgaming’s official newsletter, the jackpot was won on a mobile device, making it the largest mobile jackpot to be ever won in history. The player is so far only identified as “D.P. “ and official casino sources claim that he triggered the jackpot with a €1 bet.
Microgaming’s Head of Casino, John Quinn, released a statement on their website congratulating the player on his “mammoth mobile win”. According to him, there should be little surprise as to why the jackpot was won on a mobile device, considering that the platform is where “half of all gameplay” happens.
The Mega Moolah Jackpot is one of Microgaming’s most successful jackpots and currently holds a Guinness World Record for the largest jackpot payout in an online slot. The title was awarded to Microgaming after a lucky player scored a massive $20,066,800 in a Betway Casino.
The jackpot is basically a combination of four jackpots – the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega. When it was first released, it was available in only one slot, but it has since been expanded over several games, including the Mega Moolah Summertime and the Dark Knight.
Thus far, the average time between Jackpots has been 12 weeks, the last being in June when a player went home with $7,122,568 in cash. The jackpot pool has been reset since Sunday and is currently at the $5.2 million mark. If you feel like becoming another Mega Moolah millionaire, you can try your luck at the Betway Casino.
