Mega Moolah Slot Does It Again! New Millionaire Walks Away With 7 Million In Cash

18+

And we use the word ‘he’ liberally here, because we actually have no clue about race, gender or age.

This particular person has decided, after winning a huge fortune playing at online casinos, to remain totally anonymous. Crazy hey?

That said, we suspect most of us would probably keep it fairly quiet, until we had a chance to regroup, decide how to spend the money, and keep the money vulture away.

You can tell we’ve thought about this a bit, can’t you?

Either way, here’s how our new millionaire triggered an almost €7 million win, and the best millionaire making slots to play right now.

The record breaking Mega Moolah slot machine

And record breaking it is, even if not for very long.

Last October, Jonathan Heywood from the UK won £13.3 million – which amounted to €17,879,645.12 on the Mega Moolah slot and turned out to be a historic event.

Why? Because up until then, the Guinness World record holder for the largest online slot win was held by NetEnt’s Mega Fortune slot, sitting at… €17,861,800.47.

Yeap, that’s literally the difference of a few tens of thousands, which when you are talking millions is practically peanuts.

Microgaming confirm the win that happened on the 8th of April

If you’ve ever won any significant amount of money playing on mobile casinos, you might know that feeling deep in the pit of your stomach that asks the following questions in quick succession:

1. Did that really happen
2. Is this really real?
3. Shit, is this casino going to pay out?

That last one is the one that brings the biggest fear of them all, a reason we have a very strict list of recommended casinos and jackpots slots which we know are on safe network.

Our new millionaire had nothing to worry about. Within a few minutes he was getting a phone call confirming that, as far as the casino was concerned, the win was his, and then within hours Microgaming had confirmed that there was no foul play.

Our mystery man was now about to receive nearly 7 million euros.

We are surprised the jackpot wasn’t higher actually

Why do we say that? Because it’s been a good 6 months since we saw Jonathan walk away with €17 million, so 6 months to win about half that amount feels a little slow for such a popular slot.

Usually Mega Moolah has a habit of climbing much faster, though not usually much higher. If we are honest, the 5/6 million mark is often a good time to play, though it has obviously triggered lower, and higher.

Still, Microgaming seem to be happy with the results, in fact, surprised by creating such a huge win in such a short space of time.

“It’s not long since we were celebrating our historic and record-breaking win. To be able to crown another millionaire so soon after is brilliant.” John Quinn, Head of Casino at Microgaming stated. 

So maybe we’ve just come to expect a little too much from the Microgaming jackpot slots.

How the Mega Moolah jackpot was triggered

There are a total of four jackpots; Mini, Minor, Major and Mega. These start at 10, 100, 10 000, 1 million and then keep on climbing.

As you can imagine, our big slot winner triggered the mega jackpot.

What is frustrating is that there’s no way to anticipate a jackpot, as literally, after any spin, the game could flash and tell you that you’ve won one of the four big prizes.

Personally, we’ve never actually seen it happen, but we suspect that when it does, it’s a grand affair.

The nice thing is that because these jackpot sit on a network, they can trigger at any casino that host them – so you can pick you favourite and know you have as much chance as anyone to catch it.

How much is €6,905,670.81 in my money?

Just in case you don’t have euros, or are too lazy to do the conversion in your head, this win amounts to:

• 5,489,577.50 GBP
• 10,093,745.05 AUD
• 7,791,155.39 USD
• 63,436,124.06 SEK

All ridiculous numbers in any currency. We won’t do our usual ‘what you can buy for XXX’ because with any currency, your imagination is your only limit.

Houses, round the world trips, private islands… the world is literally your oyster.

Which jackpot mobile slots should I play?

Here is why we think that in between Jonathan win of €17 million, and this win of €7 million, someone else must have triggered the jackpot, but for some reason Microgaming kept it quiet.

Now bear in mind that this jackpot slot win was triggered only one week ago from the time of writing… and the top prize on Mega Moolah is back to over 5 million.

That’s how quickly this jackpot slot machine climbs.

So, if we honest, Mega Moolah is at a decent amount to trigger again. Fun, and rarely a disappointment, it’s certainly worth a spin.

There’s always IGT and NetEnt

But of course, not to give Microgaming all the glory, there are other millionaire making slots out there.

IGT’s Mega Jackpots currently only sit at half a million, but if you’re the impatient type, they can be a good bet. If only because the games themselves provide great wins, and they rarely go much higher over a million.

The MegaJackpots Cleopatra is our favourite of the lot.

NetEnt’s Mega Fortune is at 1.6 million, and it’s hard to say when that’s going to break. If you want to move away from the world of mobile, Hall of Gods is a dear favourite of ours and sits at 1.3 million at time of writing.

Not sure which to pick? Don’t worry, one casino has them all; Leo Vegas also gives you £1,500 / €$1,000 over 4 deposits + 200 free spins allowing you plenty of time and cash to try them all.
