Top 10 highest jackpots on online slots ever!
Winning a jackpot prize is the dream of all players at non GamStop casinos. It is therefore no surprise that online slots linked to a progressive jackpot are extremely popular.
Progressive jackpots have the main feature that the prizes keep increasing. Only when someone finally wins the jackpot does the price go down again and the whole game starts again.
The more players who play a particular online slot machine, the faster the amount of money to be won grows. Part of the bet per round goes into the prize pot automatically.
Although the chances of winning this one are minuscule, it certainly didn’t stop the winners below from playing the slots in question.
A spin on the reels has not only resulted in them winning a monster prize, they have also made it to this top 10 with the highest jackpot prizes ever paid out.
It is also striking that this list not only consists of only four different online slots, but they also come from only two leading game developers: NetEnt and Microgaming, which you can find in Gamblingpro non Gamstop casinos’ guide.
What is an online jackpot?
An online jackpot is a large prize that is awarded once in a while. The online jackpot has then fallen, it is also said.
You have progressive jackpots and fixed jackpots.
- With a progressive jackpot, each player contributes a little bit every turn. The progressive jackpot continues to increase as more people play.
- With a fixed jackpot, the size is predetermined. This will therefore not run.
Well-known examples of the online jackpot are the Mega Moolah and the Wowpot, both from Microgaming. The competitor, NetEnt, has the Mega Fortune jackpot, among other things.
1. Mega Moolah – €19,430,723.60
A Belgian player won a whopping €19,430,723.60 on Monday, April 26, 2021, with a bet of €15. Microgaming’s Mega Moolah fell to Napoleon. We wrote an extensive article about the record profit at the Belgian casino.
2. Mega Moolah – €18,915,271
The absolute record has been held since September 29, 2018, by a man who has not revealed his identity. After almost three years, he has caught up with the former record holder, and quite a lot.
By the way, he won an exorbitant amount at the online Grand Mondial Casino, where he only bet €0.75. We also know that he chose to have the entire amount paid out in one go, rather than in instalments.
The first time he looked at his bank account after transferring this mega prize, he must have treated himself at least to a drink!
3. Mega Moolah – €17,879,645.12
The modest Englishman Jon Heywood received this monster amount on his account on October 6, 2015. Within just 25 minutes of playing time, his life had completely changed.
The soldier, who had just completed a mission in Afghanistan, earned a minimum wage and could just pay his bills with this. He decided unsuspectingly to take a chance and bet only €0.33 converted into euros.
What happened next he hadn’t thought possible. In one fell swoop, he was a multimillionaire and even made it to the Guinness Book of Records with his astronomically high price, just like Microgaming itself. We do see a Hollywood movie adaptation in this special story.
4. Mega Fortune – €17,860,868
This slot turned out to be life-changing for an anonymous Finn. He won this mega amount on January 20, 2013. The Mega Jackpot normally falls a handful of times a year, which on average pays out a few million euros at a time.
The Scandinavian player also immediately set a world record with his prize, until he was overtaken by the number 1 of our top 10 a few years after his victory. He probably wouldn’t have been awake all night about that.
5. Mega Fortune – $11,736,228
It will happen to you: you come home from a night out and can’t fall asleep. Annoying for most people, but it turned out to be probably the best thing that could have ever happened to a 20-year-old Norwegian student.
The young man decided to kill time to take a gamble at the online casino Betsson. He could never have dreamed of winning the staggering amount of almost €12 million that night.
6. Arabian Nights – €8,635,872
It was a player from Finland – whose name has not been revealed – who took off with this mega prize on November 23, 2012.
That is not only very high in general but also exceptional for this slot machine. The cartoonish game from 2006 is based on a Thousand and One Nights fairy tale.
You win the jackpot of this 5×3 slot by spinning 5 wild symbols on one of the 10 paylines.
7. Mega Fortune – €8,577,104
2015 is a year that 30-year-old Swedish Alexander will remember forever. He played Mega Fortune from NetEnt on his mobile phone and won a multi-million dollar prize.
This not only made him a treasure trove in one fell swoop but also immediately held the record for the highest prize ever won with the mobile playing of an online slot machine.
8. Hall of Gods – €7,820,888
This mega prize was won by an anonymous Norwegian on April 18, 2015. So, another Scandinavian player. Not much is known about him, except that he won this amount at the online casino Betsson.
9. Hall of Gods – €7,673,956
A Swedish woman won 7,673,956. She succeeded on January 8, 2012, at Unibet. She didn’t want to reveal much about herself but did say that it was a dream come true for her.
10. Hall of Gods – €7,530,141
This huge amount of money was won by an unknown Swede, which happened on December 3, 2015. An early Christmas present. And what for!
He bet only a few cents when he suddenly won this record prize. He probably had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
There is a lot more to tell about Hall of Gods itself, a 5×3 game with a Scandinavian theme. This is one of the reasons why it is so immensely popular, especially among Swedes, Finns, and Norwegians.
At the same time, it offers a logical explanation as to why the Hall of Gods winners in this top 10 are all residents of this Northern European area!
On average, the jackpot of this NetEnt slot machine pays out €5.8 million every time it hits. You have a chance to spin 3 hammer symbols, which activates the bonus game. If you find the three Mega Jackpot symbols, you win the Mega Jackpot.
