Games Global progressive jackpot Mega Moolah!™ pays out €13.5 million
Jackpot hits on Book of Mega Moolah™ with leading operator Betway
Games Global, a leading supplier of online gaming content, has announced that a remarkable €13.5 million was won by a Betway player on Christmas Eve.
This colossal win was landed on Book of Mega Moolah™, one of Games Global’s latest online slot releases that features the iconic Mega Moolah™ progressive jackpot.
The festive surprise, won with a €20 bet, highlights the immense potential for excitement and rewards that the supplier’s jackpot brings to players.
With Book of Mega Moolah™ only being live with operators for three months, it has quickly gained traction as a must-play jackpot slot thanks to its captivating combination of the timeless Mega Moolah™ experience and the classic ‘Book of’ formula.
The game’s popularity is further solidified by this eight-figure win, making it a standout title in Games Global’s diverse jackpot portfolio.
The win marks the eighth-largest online slots prize in history, following a substantial legacy of multimillion-euro wins awarded across Games Global’s wider progressive jackpot offering. This latest Mega Moolah™ win came within just days of a €38.4 million* prize paid out by WowPot!™, another Games Global jackpot, which was the largest ever amount awarded on an online slot.
Mega Moolah™’s success in providing substantial wins and engaging gameplay underscores Betway’s commitment to delivering top-notch entertainment to its players.
This isn’t the first time the prominent operator has seen an eight-figure Mega Moolah™ sum strike on its casino, with one Betway player based in the UK scooping a €17.8 million* prize on the classic Mega Moolah™ slot back in October 2015.
Games Global’s long-established network continues to lead the way in the progressive jackpot space, paying out many of the industry’s largest sums in history and hitting more frequently than any other progressive jackpot offering, with a win struck every 10 seconds on average in 2023.
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to learn of this latest winning experience in conjunction with Betway and on Christmas Eve, no less. We would like to extend our congratulations to the winner and look forward to making more winners throughout 2024 and beyond.”
Anthony Werkman, CEO of Betway Group, said: “Having previously held a Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest payout in an online slot machine game’, we at Betway are thrilled to have seen another customer take home a staggering multimillion-euro jackpot prize, again won on Mega Moolah™, one of our most popular titles.
“As a leading casino operator, we are committed to bringing fresh and exciting titles to our platform in conjunction with Games Global, ensuring our players have a plethora of versatile gaming options and an ever-evolving gaming experience. All of us at Betway wish our warmest congratulations to the lucky customer!”

Immense Group and Coast is Clear: A Three-Year Commitment to a Greener Malta
Immense Group, the corporate powerhouse behind leading iGaming brands Mr Vegas, Videoslots, and DBET, has reaffirmed its dedication to environmental sustainability by extending its partnership with the Maltese NGO Coast is Clear.
Marking their third consecutive year of collaboration, the initiative highlights Immense Group’s transition from corporate sponsorship to active, community-led participation. Unlike traditional CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) models that focus on one-off donations, this partnership is built on the principle of ongoing stewardship.
Practical Action for the Maltese Coastline
Malta’s unique coastal ecosystem faces significant pressure from plastic pollution and urban development. Coast is Clear, founded by Mark Galea Pace, specializes in “practical environmentalism”—relying on a dedicated truck and a personal family boat to access areas of the island that are otherwise unreachable by land.
The 2026 roadmap for the partnership includes a structured schedule of events designed to provide both immediate and long-term ecological benefits:
-
Beach Clean-ups: Two major coastal operations are planned for the first half of the year, focusing on removing microplastics and “ghost nets” from sensitive marine habitats.
-
Tree Planting: Two afforestation initiatives will see staff volunteers planting indigenous Maltese trees, contributing to the NGO’s goal of exceeding 1,000 trees planted across local valleys and nature reserves.
Leadership Perspectives on Community Impact
For Immense Group, the initiative is a way to give back to the island that serves as a primary operational hub for its global workforce.
“Malta is home to many of our people,” said Alexander Stevendahl, CEO of Immense Group. “Encouraging our teams to take part in initiatives like beach clean-ups and tree planting is a practical way to contribute to the communities we’re part of. It reflects a shared commitment to keeping Malta cleaner and greener over the long term.”
Mark Galea, Founder of Coast is Clear, emphasized the value of long-term corporate allies: “Support from companies like Immense Group helps us keep our work going. Having people turn up, get involved, and stick with us over time makes a real difference when it comes to protecting Malta’s coastline.”
