Microgaming’s legendary Mega Moolah progressive jackpot has an impressive history of churning out multi-million winners. Now, the first big winner of 2022 has emerged with a huge €7,296,286.88 jackpot.

The impressive prize was won on the classic Mega Moolah slot on 6 February, making this the 70th instant millionaire in the game’s history.

Rich History

The original African-themed Mega Moolah made its first appearance in November 2006 and revolutionised the industry with its four-tiered progressive jackpot that has a maximum starting pool of €1,000,000.

Hordes of players have flocked to try their luck with this title and have their chance at a potentially life-changing win. Many have felt the generous touch of the network with over 18.4 million jackpots across all tiers being paid out since its inception. This represents an amount of close to €919 million.

Record-Breaking

In September 2018, Mega Moolah made a massive global impact when it paid out an astonishing €18.9 million. This record was soon surpassed in April 2021 with an even more momentous payout of €19.4 million on Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah.

There are now seven titles in Microgaming’s Mega Moolah series with more additions planned for the future.

Andrew Clucas, the CEO at Microgaming commented on the win, saying,

“Fantastic to see the first Mega Moolah win of the year, particularly as it’s another sizeable seven-figure sum – huge congratulations to the winner! An amazing 15 years after taking its first bet, the mighty Mega Moolah slot continues to be extremely popular and payout massive wins such as this Mega €7.3 million* reward. Long may that continue.”

Upcoming Thrills

The anonymous Swedish player claimed this prize with the top WowPot jackpot on 23 August 2021, a mere four days after the pokie went live with operators on Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network.

The mythology-themed game was created exclusively for Microgaming by Triple Edge Studios and integrates Big Time Gaming’s proprietary Megaways mechanic and the WowPot progressive jackpot, which made its first appearance in February 2021.

This recent WowPot win marks the fourth millionaire crowned by the progressive network and is the second-highest in the jackpot’s history but still, a mere morsel compared to the $17,529,047.11 prize which was claimed on 14 April 2021.

In 2021, Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network has paid out 2.6 million wins across all jackpots, tiers and games, coming to $143 million in prizes, pushing the total paid out to date over $1.45 billion.

The Head of Commercials at Videoslots, William Ahlberg, added,

“We’re thrilled to provide our players with access to many of Microgaming’s legendary progressive jackpot slots – and even more so that one of our players has taken home the latest WowPot win, becoming a multi-millionaire!”
