Date Added:

Microgaming’s Mega Jackpot has finally been won after it had reached a Guinness World Record breaking £13.2 million (approximately CA$26.1 million). The UK player, Lance Corporal John Heywood, is an Afghanistan veteran soldier who lives in Crewe, Cheshire, in England.

He was playing at a Microgaming powered online casino called Betway Casino when he won. This perfectly secure Canadian online casino is currently offering a guaranteed CA$1,000 welcome bonus. A spokesperson for the casino, Alan Alger, said, “We are delighted for Jonathon and having met him the day after his win we can honestly say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer young man. We hope he really enjoys the World Record win.”

This progressive jackpot was the largest of four jackpots that you can play for on the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot slot machine and this prize pool is also connected to several other Microgaming slot machines such as Mega Moolah Summertime, Mega Moolah Isis and Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive. This jackpot can also be played for on a famous branded slot called The Dark Knight. The jackpot had been climbing for more than 100 days before it was finally won.

The lucky winner, Jonathon Heywood, said, “It’s all so surreal, and I can’t come to terms with it just yet, I just kept staring at my screen and seeing this huge number in my Betway account” The great news for Jonathon is that he will receive his payout in one lump sum, rather than in instalments over a period of time.

Microgaming’s CEO, Roger Raatgever, said, “We have the longest-standing progressive jackpot network, having launched the first internet progressive jackpot in 1998, as well as the biggest, having paid out over half a billion euros to date.” He then added, “Our progressive jackpot network has set many records since its inception, but I’m absolutely overjoyed to say that our software has generated the world’s largest ever online jackpot win. Many congratulations to Jonathon on this life-changing and historic win!” All of these comments were taken directly from an official Microgaming press release.
