A lucky player has won a mega jackpot of €6,597,136.10 on Microgaming’s immensely popular Mega Moolah Slot. This marks the fifth win of seven figures or more on Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network this year and the hundredth in its history.
Playing the classic Mega Moolah slot at Optibet.com, the winning player struck the massive prize on June 4. This latest Mega Moolah win comes just weeks after the legendary jackpot paid out a record-breaking €19.4 million win on Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah.
Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network has now paid out more the €1.4 billion to date, with over €103 million awarded across all jackpots, tiers and games so far in 2021.
“I’m delighted to see another big jackpot win so soon after Mega Moolah dropped for €19.4 million in April. My congratulations go to Optibet and their player on this brilliant win. This is something of a milestone for Microgaming, being the 100th euro millionaire made on our progressive jackpot network,” John Coleman, CEO at Microgaming, said.
“We were thrilled to hear the news that one of our players had struck the Mega jackpot on the legendary Mega Moolah. Not only was it the first Mega jackpot to be hit at Optibet.com, but it’s also a tremendous multi-million-euro prize!” Chris Davis, CPO at Optibet, said.
