Swedish Player Hits €14.2 Million Jackpot on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah!

Progressive jackpot titles are very popular among punters around the world, which comes as a no surprise bearing in mind they often award seven or even eight-figure prizes.

Probably the most popular such slot in the market is Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. Launched nearly fifteen years ago, this release has a cult status and has been nicknamed the Million Maker due to the number of multi-million prizes given to its players.

Microgaming also boasts the largest progressive jackpot network in today’s online gambling industry, which has so far paid out more than €1 billion in progressive jackpots. And the prizes are still coming.

Meet the Newest Millionaire

The renowned developer has recently announced that a lucky player has managed to scoop an eight-figure jackpot while playing the Mega Moolah video slot. The lucky punter from Sweden is the eight millionaire created by the popular release so far in 2020, after hitting a staggering progressive prize worth €14,239,539.84.

This amazing feat was achieved on August 17 at LuckyCasino.

It should be noted that this is the biggest jackpot to have ever been awarded at this online casino. LuckyCasino went live in 2015 but was again launched three years later, after it was bought by Glitnor, one of the fastest-growing business groups in the industry.

The latest eight-figure win, just like all jackpots awarded by games from Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network, will be awarded as a lump sum.

The €14.2 million prize is the largest one awarded by Mega Moolah since the start of the year. Back in April, the popular game paid out €10.7 million to a player at Jackpot City, adding the lucky punter to the list of Microgaming’s big winners.

So far in 2020, Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network awarded a total of eight jackpot wins worth €1 million or more, and the way things are going, we can expect even more in the coming period.

Making History

Speaking about the latest progressive win, Martin Sidenvall from LuckyCasino pointed out it was a historic moment for the online casino. He added they were delighted to have been able to call their player and inform him he was the lucky winner of a multi-million prize. The €14.2 million win is the third-largest euro jackpot to have ever been awarded by the cult slot.

Director of Games at Microgaming, Andrew Booth, congratulated to both LuckyCasino and their punter on making a “tremendous win”. Booth also pointed out this was the biggest euro prize paid out by Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network to a player in Sweden.

In the meantime, Microgaming is getting ready to add new games to its offering. We can look forward to seeing two new Mega Moolah variant. Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah is set to be launched by Microgaming’s partners at Stormcraft Studios, while Just For The Win will launch the new Juicy Joker: Mega Moolah game. Both titles are set to go live later this year and will be available at any online casino powered by Microgaming.

But that’s not all, as we’ll see three new progressive releases as well. As their names suggest, Sisters of Oz: WowPot from Triple Edge Studios and Book of Atem: WowPot from All41 Studios feature the recently revamped WowPot jackpot. Slingshot Studios is scheduled to launch African Legends.
