£13,209,300
A lot has been made of Microgaming’s Progressive Jackpot Network, and the simple fact is that the Malta based developer has blown all its competitors out of the water with this one. Testimony to its success is the fact that a young soldier from the UK called Jon Heywood managed to win an unholy sum of £13,209,300 on the iconic slot Mega Moolah.
This was back in October 2015, so it shows just how lucky this young guy was to pick up such a large fortune – half a decade on and it is still untouchable! Mr Heywood is reported to have been intending to spend the cash on his family, as well as a fleet of exotic sports cars. We wonder where he is today…
€17,861,800
Now then, there is one other online slot game win that can come close to Jon Heywood’s £13,209,300, and depending on how you look at it it could even win the title. In 2013 a Finnish man placed a fairly small bet of 25 cents, and you just won’t believe what happened next!
Imagine winning an online slot jackpot prize of €17,861,800 off of a bet that small! Luckily this middle-aged Finnish gambler didn’t have to imagine, and the craziest thing is that with today’s exchange rate taken into account, this online slot jackpot could be even bigger than the previous one.
€11,736,375
People play online slots for all sorts of reasons, and trying to fall asleep is definitely one of them. Back in 2011 a Norwegian man with bad luck in the form of a sleeping problem decided to spin the reels of the classic Mega Fortune slot, having a paradoxical stroke of good luck and winning a jackpot prize of €11,736,375.
