Back Microgaming Officially Holds Guinness World Records Title

So it’s official. Microgaming holds the Guinness World Records title for the ‘Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game (nominal)’.

Back on October 6, 2015, Betway player Jonathan Heywood of the UK hit Microgaming’s Mega Moolah progressive jackpot banking £13,213,838 (€17,879,645.12) with a conservative 25p bet.

The win has gone through a lengthy review process involving Betway, Microgaming and eCOGRA, before the results could be confirmed.

A spokesperson for Guinness World Records said, “I’m pleased to confirm that the Guinness World Records title for the largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game is €17,879,645.12, which was won by Jonathan Heywood, while playing Microgaming’s Mega Moolah on Betway's website.”

On Thursday, Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, said, “When news broke about Jon’s amazing jackpot win back in October, we were overjoyed – what an incredible and heart-warming story. We’ve achieved many industry records over the years, but to be officially awarded a Guinness World Records title is a special and proud moment for us all. It cements our position in providing the largest and most exciting progressive jackpot network in the industry. We can’t wait to hang the certificate in our office reception!”

Players are drawn to Microgaming’s progressive jackpot Slots because you don’t have to wager large stakes for a chance to win. As proven by Jon and many others, you can become an instant millionaire without breaking the bank.

The record is published and available for you to view here.
