2017 was quite a year for NetEnt. One of the leading developers and suppliers of quality iGaming content were busy this year for all the good reasons: countless partnership deals, the release of groundbreaking titles and – and a new jackpot payout milestone.
This week, they have publicly revealed the final outcome for this year, jackpot-wise: in total 321 jackpots were awarded, and a whopping €78 million was paid out to players! With the highest-paying progressive jackpot games currently in business bearing a NetEnt stamp – including the likes of Hall of Gods, Mega Fortune, Mega Fortune Dreams and Arabian Nights – it is no wonder why the end gross amount makes one's head spin. We can only imagine how lucky the winning punters must feel after hitting life-changing winning combos.
Just this December, two enormously fortunate players (while playing on their mobile devices) hit the €3.3 and €3.5 million jackpots respectively playing Mega Fortune Dreams – this game alone has paid out €30.4 million during 2017. The absolute and undisputed record holder for this year has to be Hall of Gods’ €7.5 million jackpot that was awarded in June! It is also the provider’s fourth-biggest jackpot in its history.
Commenting on these milestones that made certain players over the moon, Henrik Fagerlund, the company's Chief Product Officer, stated: “Our games are continuing to pay out life-changing winnings to players and to be able to win them €78 million in 2017 makes us all very proud. Mega Fortune Dreams alone has paid out around €30 million, but we must not forget Mega Fortune, Arabian Night and Halls of Gods, showing there’s more than one opportunity to win a life-changing amount of money with our pooled jackpots. Being able to offer players the chance to win big is what keeps them coming back and we’re over the moon that we can repay their loyalty.”
