Who Won the Mega Moolah Mega Jackpot?

Unfortunately the player who recently won the Mega Jackpot on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah online slot wishes to remain anonymous, so we can’t give you any details about the actual individual who won a Guinness World Record Breaking €18,915,872.81. This massive jackpot win works out to approximately R322,894,555.93 at today’s rate of exchange.

However, we can reveal the following details about the world’s biggest online casino win that occurred on Friday 28th September, 2018. This life-changing jackpot win happened at Grand Mondial Casino and the winner was playing from his or her mobile device (and Android mobile device). The lucky winning spin that triggered the progressive jackpot bonus round cost just €0.75 (approx. R12) and the player ended up spinning the jackpot wheel from within the bonus game to win the Mega Jackpot – the largest of the four jackpots.

As soon as it was won the Mega Jackpot instantly reset to its original seed amount of $/€/£1,000,000.00 and it continues to climb by the second. It will now continue to climb to no fixed amount until another lucky player wins and at the time of writing it’s already worth more than $/€/£3.2 million (approx. R54.6 million). “We’ve been on the edge of our seats in anticipation of the Mega Moolah jackpot being hit these past few weeks,” said the Games Publisher at Microgaming, David Reynolds.

“Watching the jackpot grow has been exciting for us at Microgaming and we are immensely proud to see it set a new record. Congratulations to Grand Mondial Casino and their lucky player on this amazing win,” added Reynolds. We managed to obtain these exact comments directly from an official Microgaming press release.

The previous world record that stood right up until this latest big win was set at Betway Casino back in October 2015 when one lucky UK player, Jonathon Heywood, won a Guinness World Record breaking €17,879,645 ($20,062,600 / £13,209,300 / R300,000,000) from this exact same game. This latest win has yet to be confirmed as the new Guinness World Records title holder for the ‘Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game’, but we’re expecting an official announcement to be made by Guinness any day now.
