Microgaming’s Mega Moolah Pays Out 2nd Biggest Jackpot Of The Year

18+

Microgaming’s progressive online slot Mega Moolah has created another millionaire!

Hit on the 25th of September 2017, this is the second largest Microgaming payout of the year, giving one lucky player a life-changing €7,742,015.53 pay day.

This is close to the 8 million payout they gave to a mobile casino phone player back in April.

Can you imagine what you’d do with that kind of cash?

How the Mega Moolah jackpot slot triggered

If you’re a progressive jackpot slot hunter, you’ve probably played your fair share of spins on the Mega Moolah machine.

But, for those of you new to the casino game, or who haven’t played on the safari slot in a while, here’s a quick reminder.

You can trigger any of four jackpots

These jackpots seed at 10, 100, 10 000, 1 million in cash – and then just keep on growing.

The one that keeps everyone dreaming is obviously the Mega Jackpot that starts at one million and often triggers anywhere over 5 million.

In fact it currently holds the Guinness world record for the biggest jackpot won on a slot machine when a UK casino player won £13.3 million on a 0.25 win.

The big jackpot wins are totally random

Unlike jackpot slots like Empire Fortune by Yggdrasil or Mega Fortune Dreams by NetEnt, there’s no special symbol trigger, no mini-games to play.

Out of nowhere, on any spin, you might suddenly see your screen flash, screeching that you are Microgaming’s next big slot winner.

Generally speaking, the more you bet, the higher your chance of winning the jackpot – though the maximum bet here is on 6.25 a spin, so very affordable in comparison to, say, Playtech jackpot slots.

Still, as the UK player above will tell you, he was only playing 0.25 a spin, so never bet more than you can afford to spin.

5th largest Microgaming jackpot win to date

Whilst it’s the second biggest win of the year, it actually also sits nicely in the top 5 biggest wins ever triggered by a Microgaming slot player.

David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, stated: “This is our fifth largest jackpot win to date! Many congratulations to [the] lucky player on this amazing win.”

That’s an impressive amount considering that so far, over a decade of slot play, Microgaming game studios have paid out €783 million to date.

That’s a whole load of mega moolah (pun intended).

 What would you do with €7,7 million?

The identity of our mystery winner has been kept secret.

We don’t even know where he is from or how much he was betting.

I guess when you now suddenly have a huge fortune in your pocket, you are able to make sure people say as little as you want.

But to give you an idea of the kind of cash we’re talking about, €7,742,015.53 translates to:

• £6.9 million
• US$9 million
• CA$11.3 million
• AU$11.6 million
• 73.7 million SEK

That kind of money could easily buy you a small island in the Bahamas.

The winner will receive all the money in one lump sum

The nice thing about playing on Microgaming jackpot slots is that when you win, you know you will receive all the money at once in your account.

As long as you are playing at a reputable online or mobile casino of course – there are some real dodgy gambling sites on mobile who can, for example, limit the amount of jackpot win you can cashout a month.

That is incredibly bad behaviour, as Microgaming are happy to pay the full sum in full.

So it’s just the casino keeps the cash for themselves and drip feeding you small amounts when it feels like it.

Pick a good Microgaming jackpot casino

This Mega Moolah jackpot win happened 10 days ago at the time of writing.

So the jackpot hasn’t had a chance to climb much more over a million as these things take time.

That said, it’s not called a random jackpot for nothing – it could trigger at any time on any spin, so you good play right now and get a cool million in your pocket.

It might not buy a small island kind of cash, but it’s certain enough to pay back some credit cards and a couple of mortgages.
