Games Global and Videoslots crown latest Mega Moolah™ jackpot winner
More than €7 million paid out on Absolootly Mad™ Mega Moolah™
Games Global, a leading supplier of online gaming content, has created its latest multimillionaire after a Videoslots player hit the jackpot on Absolootly Mad™ Mega Moolah™, winning an impressive €7,004,235.
Based in Sweden, the winner became the fifth person ever to strike the top Mega Moolah™ progressive jackpot on the Triple Edge Studios title, with the game awarding more than €66 million in total prizes since its release in 2020.
The seven-figure sum is the second biggest prize to drop on Games Global’s renowned progressive jackpot network so far in 2024 and is also Videoslots’ largest ever payout, eclipsing the €3 million plus figure won on Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WowPot! Megaways™ in 2021.
Absolootly Mad™ Mega Moolah™ is a quirky and colourful Alice in Wonderland-inspired online slot that is packed with crowd-pleasing features including Rolling Reels™, a multiplier trail, and the iconic four-tiered Mega Moolah™ progressive jackpot.
Games Global’s long-established jackpot network continues to lead the way in the industry, delivering wins more frequently than any other progressive jackpot offering. In 2024 alone, a win has struck every 14 seconds on average, with over €42 million paid out across 846,000 wins so far this year.
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “The mighty Mega Moolah™ progressive jackpot has become a staple for slots enthusiasts around the world and continues to excite audiences with its ever-growing portfolio of great gaming experiences and massive win potential. We are thrilled to see another Videoslots player land a top jackpot, reinforcing the reputation of our content library for providing unrivalled opportunities to win big.”
Klas Winberg, Chief Commercial Officer at Videoslots, said: “The Mega Moolah™ jackpot once again shows why it is an institution in our industry, having the ability to award incredible prizes time and time again. We are very happy on behalf of our customer on this historic win, which is the largest payout to date on Videoslots Casino.
“Further strengthening our relationship with Games Global, Mega Moolah™ progressive jackpot games will be prominently featured on MegaRiches, our new jackpot-centric casino brand, which will launch in the UK this summer. We look forward to more momentous wins and shared successes.”
