Microgaming Pays Out €1 BILLION in Progressive Jackpots

A momentous achievement in both the gaming industry and the company's history, as Microgaming declares that its progressive jackpot network has cashed out, to date, an unprecedented, astounding sum of over €1 billion!

This landmark makes the Isle of Man-based brand's jackpot network the biggest of its kind in the entire iGaming world.

The news came shortly after it was confirmed that a long-standing Zodiac Casino punter struck a €13.3 million jackpot payout playing the Mega Moolah slot.

According to an official statement, the supplier reminds that the network's wins are paid in the currency in which the winning game was played. It is converted to Euros when a win occurs or at the time of the payout.

Making Millionaires Since 2013

Since it has been instated, Microgaming's progressive jackpot system has awarded millions to 68 players in total (30 of them in the last three years), with some of them being particularly notable and record-making...

...One such history-maker occurred in 2013, when a Royal Vegas patron became the world's first mobile slot millionaire when they landed a seven-figure win on Mega Moolah.

In 2015, this progressive slot of massive popularity made headlines again by making a certain UK player €17,879,645.12 wealthier, which earned Microgaming a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game.

This entry was updated in September 2018, when a new world record was struck with a €18,915,872.81 jackpot at Grand Mondial Casino. During last year alone, the supplier's jackpot games paid out €150 million.

Building on Success

Microgaming's CEO, John Coleman, did not even try to mask his pride:

“What an astonishing milestone for Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network! We are incredibly proud to see total payouts exceed the €1 billion mark – congratulations to all the lucky Mega jackpot winners who have been part of this remarkable story.

He went on to say: “The network has been awarding life-changing wins since 1999, including thousands of five and six-figure sums, and we look forward to building on this remarkable success in the future with the development of even more innovative and rewarding gameplay experiences for players.”

The €13.3 million jackpot that made this breakthrough delighted the officials of both Microgaming and Zodiac Casino, who were overjoyed to see Mega Moolah's first jackpot of 2019.

They stated that the player, amazingly, cracked the jackpot in less than 30 minutes of play and congratulated them on behalf of the casino and developer.

Having completed their successful appearance at this year's ICE London gathering, Microgaming debuted a new title inspired by an iconic American disco group, Village People Macho Moves.
