Without a doubt, jackpots are one of the most appealing features of online casinos. Winning huge jackpots and cash prizes is possible, and you can win a lot of money by playing a number of casino games, too. If you do not believe that winning big is possible at online casinos, you might want to think twice – the following lines reveal some of the biggest wins in the history of online casinos.

 

  • Biggest Mega Moolah Jackpot Wins

 

One of Microgaming’s most successful games, Mega Moolah is a progressive jackpot online slot game. Praised as one of the best slot games, Mega Moolah is incredibly popular among slot fans because of the huge jackpots it yields on a regular basis.

 

Mega Moolah has a rich jackpot history – large jackpot amounts were won just two years after the launch of the game. Back in 2008, a Finnish player won €4.4 million while playing Mega Moolah at the Blackjack Ballroom. Klaus E, as the man is known, did not play for much, too – his winning spin was worth just €0.50.

 

In 2009, Georgios M. hit a huge jackpot while playing Mega Moolah at River Belle Online Casino. The man’s passion for slots rewarded him with a jackpot of €6.3 million in cash. When he won the jackpot, Georgios was a 36-year-old business owner from Greece.

 

At that time, Georgios’s jackpot win was the biggest in Mega Moolah history. In 2012, however, that record was broken by a UK player – John Orchard from Lincolnshire – who won an amazing jackpot of  about €6.2 million while playing Mega Moolah online. Later, in May 2017, Mega Moolah rewarded another lucky player, this time with €3.72 million.

 

According to Casino Guardian in August 2016, an anonymous player won a jackpot of €7.9 million while playing Mega Moolah on their mobile device at the Zodiac Casino. Later, the casino revealed that the player won the money after signing up for one of the operator’s bonus offers called 80 Chances to Become a Millionaire. The great thing about this promotion was that it did not require a large deposit, and on top of all, players could make the deposit in several currencies. Whoever the lucky player was, they certainly made the most of the casino’s promotion.

 

Arguably the biggest progressive jackpot ever won on Mega Moolah was hit back in October 2015. The lucky gambler was British soldier Jonathon Heywood from Cheshire. Believe it or not, Mr. Heywood won a jackpot of €17,880,900 while playing for just 25p a spin. Later, the lucky gambler commented that he wanted to use the money for the treatment of his sick father.

 

 

  • Biggest Mega Fortune Jackpot Wins

 

Mega Fortune is one of the best progressive jackpot slot games ever created by NetEnt. With a luxurious theme and fancy reel symbols, Mega Fortune is well-designed and has a set of great bonus features. Of course, the progressive jackpot plays an essential role in the game’s popularity, too.

 

Over the years, Mega Fortune has paid out millions to lucky players worldwide. One of Mega Fortune’s first big jackpot wins happened in 2011. A Norwegian student who could not fall asleep decided to play some slots at Betsson.com, and oh what a good decision they made! By sunrise, the player had become €11.8 million richer. The outstanding win was enlisted in the Guinness Book of World Records, as it was the biggest jackpot payout ever won at the time.

 

Two years later, Mega Fortune rewarded another lucky gambler, this time a 47-year-old gentleman from Helsinki who has not revealed their name. The Finnish was playing for €0,25 per spin and won €17,861,813, thus becoming the largest progressive jackpot ever won on online slots. What is more, this win still holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest progressive jackpot payout.

 

In 2015, a Swedish gambler won Mega Fortune Touch’s jackpot while playing on their mobile. The jackpot amounted to €5.7 million.

 

 

  • Other Big Jackpot Wins

 

Mega Moolah might be Microgaming’s most famous progressive jackpot online slot, but it is far from the only one. Major Millions is a well-developed online slot with a progressive jackpot feature launched by Microgaming. This slot does not offer as staggering jackpots as Mega Moolah, but it is still worth a try, as it has already rewarded tens of players worldwide.

 

One of the largest Major Millions jackpot wins occurred back in 2012, when a gambler won €1.8 million while playing the online slot.

 

According to statistics, Major Millions yields a major win once every 10 weeks. What is more, the average payout amount floats around €400,000. Taking this into account, the game is really worth a try, in spite of the mediocre graphics and the lack of innovative bonus elements.
