Everyone was keeping a close eye on Mega Moolah slot by Microgaming while the jackpot was climbing to record heights. The top prize was hit at on Friday the 28th of September at the sky-high value of €18,915,872. The lucky player was visiting a new casino site called Grand Mondial, when they hit the jackpot setting a new world record. Mega Moolah is arguably the most well-known casino game around, with thousands of brands promoting the slot around the world.
The lucky customer, who is keeping their identity hidden, was playing the slot at relatively low stakes when everything lined up. With a mere 75 cent bet, the jackpot was triggered on a mobile device, setting a record for that too. The excitement started to grow as soon as the major prize exceeded €10 million, at that point it can drop any time. Little did people know that the Mega Moolah jackpot would almost double in size before being won.
The beauty of Microgaming progressive jackpot slots is knowing that you can hit the motherload even on a small bet size. This is in comparison to some other similar games that will only enable the jackpot feature after a certain point. Mega Moolah has been out for quite some time now, the crowning jewel in the Microgaming progressive jackpot lineup, which during its lifetime has paid out in excess of £950 million. This is an enormous feat for the online slot industry, where no other game provider can come close.
Dave Reynolds, Game Publisher at Microgaming had this to say:
We’ve been on the edge of our seats in anticipation of the Mega Moolah jackpot being hit these past few weeks. Watching the jackpot grow has been exciting for us at Microgaming and we are immensely proud to see it set a new record. Congratulations to Grand Mondial Casino and their lucky player on this amazing win!
