Microgaming's progressive jackpot reaches €1 billion milestone

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Setting an unprecedented and momentous landmark for both the company and its industry, Microgaming’s celebrated progressive jackpot network has now paid out a remarkable total of just over €1 billion, cementing its position as the largest network of its kind in the industry.

The extraordinary figure was reached following a staggering €13.3 million payout on the world-famous Mega Moolah progressive slot by a Zodiac Casino player.

Microgaming’s millionaire-making network has awarded numerous transformative prizes since its inception, with 68 players receiving seven-figure EUR payouts to date. In the last three years alone, life-changing jackpots have been taken home by more than 30 of these lucky winners, while the immense popularity of the network’s range of progressive slots continues to grow.

A number of notable markers lay scattered along the journey to the big billion. 2013 saw a Royal Vegas Online Casino player scoop a Mega Moolah jackpot on their portable device, making them the world’s first ever mobile slot millionaire. Just two years later, Microgaming’s hugely popular progressive slot made history yet again when a U.K. player struck a phenomenal €17,879,645.12, earning the software supplier a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the ‘Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game’. It wasn’t until September 2018 that the amount was exceeded when €18,915,872.81 was won at Grand Mondial Casino.

Having reached the €1 billion milestone, Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network continues to lead the way, offering players thrilling experiences and amazing lump-sum rewards.
