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!”
