Mega Moolah Jackpot hit - nearly 20 million euro

After a longer dry spell, the legendary Mega Moolah Jackpot was hit once again on the 27th. April 2021. The lucky winner could be pleased with an impressive amount of more than 19,4 million euro. This is the highest single-slot winning in the history of internet. But where does the lucky chap come from and in which online casino did the reels roll?

The different game versions of the Mega Moolah Slots from Microgaming have for years belonged amongst the most popular slot machines on the online gambling market. Indeed the pay-out ratio, when compared to other slot-machines is relatively low. The several progressive jackpots which can be won in the Mega Moolah-Network make up for this. The highest jackpot always starts with a minimum amount of a million euro. The slot machine has in the past been accordingly popular with gamblers from all over the world.

Mega Moolah Jackpot: Over 19,4 million euro go to Belgium

As the software company Microgaming has reported in a press release, the record win at the Absolootly Mad™: Mega Moolah Slot was hit by a Belgian gambler. The latter could hardly believe his luck when he won on the 27^th. April 2021 at the Napoleon Sports & Casino. The player won an incredible 19,430,723.60 euro at one go. Unfortunately, the lucky devil who won the jackpot with a stake of 15 euro, has till now wanted to remain anonymous. The CEO of Microgaming, John Coleman, was pleased for the jackpot-winner from Belgium:

“We are very pleased, that Mega Moolah is making history with its recent record. And what an unbelievable win it is - 19,4 million euro. This is the largest jackpot pay-out ever at an online slot. Congratulations to the player!”

Even the CEO of Napoleon Sports & Casino, Tim De Borle, gave a statement in the press release:

“It nearly feels as if our website has become the jackpot’s homeland. This record-breaking jackpot is the absolute peak of our astonishing partnership with Microgaming.”

As we have reported in January of this same year, about the highest winnings in the Online Casino 2020, it was also a Mega Moolah Jackpot winning amounting to 14,2 million euro which made it to the first place. In the second and third place there were winnings with around 10,7 and 7,7 million euro respectively and these were hit at the legendary Mega Moolah Slot. According to Microgaming, a total of more than 1,3 billion euro were paid out for all jackpots, levels and games at the progressive jackpot network.

Besides: In a somewhat older article we have already questioned, when does it make sense to play progressive Jackpot Slots. Experience shows, that a progressive Jackpot is absolutely unpredictable. In the past, for example, it has already happened, that the Mega Moolah Jackpot was hit twice within 48 hours.

Conclusion

For the anonymous lucky devil from Belgium, life will definitely change significantly, especially from a financial view, after the win amounting to millions. On the 27th. April 2021, he won over 19.4 million euro with only one spin and this was the highest sum ever won by a single player in a slot machine in an online casino. His stake amounted to 15 Euro and he played at the Napoleon Sports & Casino. Unfortunately most German players will in the future have no opportunity to win the Mega Moolah Jackpot worth millions. This is because of the new legal stipulations which foresee a so-called ban on jackpot games for providers with a German licence. Nonetheless we are excited to see if this record win will be surpassed once again and also when the legendary Mega Moolah Jackpot will be hit once again.
