Mega Moolah Jackpot at leoVegas is up to £13 Million!
- Thread starter JamesLeoVegas
- Start date
That site is wrong, It was won in £ not $ so it is probably the highest win ever.
I have said to my mates a few times that I bet they are waiting till they get the record before it pays

Not highest win ever.. Euro €17,861,813 win that was hit on the Net Entertainment slot Mega Fortune at Paf back in 2013 is the highest hit ever

If I won that I would give up online gambling, incase I randomly one night did £1million spins in a drunk stupor.. 
I would however go to vegas a few times with a set budget

Sounds daft but I wouldn't want to win that much! - Quite controlled as a rule but with that sort of cash who knows what would happen!
Just enough to be able to 'look after' those who have 'looked after' me in my 'needy' times, oh and enough to never have to work again!
I too would probably never play online again as no amount of stacked wilds or multipliers or re-triggers would ever get close to that sort of buzz!
Defo with you on the Vegas thing tho, something I've always wanted to do, again with a 'Special Bank Card' that would only allow me access to a set amount per day while I was there
I'd also have to overcome my 'Flying Fear' as there are lots of places I'd love to visit with 'Cash to Splash'

I can confirm (having spoken to Microgaming today) that this was hit in GBP (pounds sterling) and not dollars as was reported at Casinolistings.
Not sure it is the highest ever online jackpot - didn't NetEnt's Mega Fortune deliver a Euro 17 million-plus jackpot?

It beats (just!) the PAF Hall of Gods in currency equivalent. It's just over 20m USD or 17.9m Euros.....

I feel the same
Also a bit fearful of flying - especially long distance, short distances I can handle.. Just.. I have to as I do it multiple times a year

Åsa from Göteborg or something like that
Yeah haha though I think we should make a new thread as I don't really feel James deserves to have this thread on top for the next days because jackpot was won. I know he had a cheeky plan rushing in to get this posted just in time haha.....Unless he throws in some free spins for us meisters with no wager then maybe and only then maybe he can have it
Nah seriously should get a new thread done for it. Or maybe just wait and let the Casino it was won at have the fame really. I hope Casino it was won at will make a new thread
€17,861,813 is equal to £13,141,817 i believe this win was over £13,200,000 so it does become the biggest win.

MICROGAMING CONFIRMS WORLD RECORD PROGRESSIVE WIN JACKPOT (Update)
Mega Moolah progressive slot breaks world record with GBP 13.2 million strike by Betway player.
Microgaming has confirmed reports earlier this week that a world record online progressive jackpot has been hit at one of its licensees, advising that a UK player at the Betway online casino is now an instant multi-millionaire.
The big hit took place on the Mega Moolah progressive slot just after midnight on October 7, when UK player Jonathon Heywood hit the mega jackpot, winning GBP 13,213,838.68.
Using the exchange rate on the day of the win, this is the equivalent of Euro 17,879,645.12, making it the largest ever online slot win. As with all Microgaming’s progressive jackpot wins, the jackpot will be paid out to the player in a lump sum.
Jonathon, a 26-year-old soldier from Cheshire, couldn’t believe his luck when the life-changing figure splashed up on his screen, but he still managed to make it in to work just hours later Microgaming reports.
“It’s all so surreal, and I can’t come to terms with it just yet, I just kept staring at my screen and seeing this huge number in my Betway account” the fortunate warrior said.
Betway’s spokesman, Alan Alger, added: “We are delighted for Jonathon and having met him the day after his win we can honestly say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer young man. We hope he really enjoys the World Record win”.
Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, commented: “We have the longest-standing progressive jackpot network, having launched the first internet progressive jackpot in 1998, as well as the biggest, having paid out over half a billion Euros to date.
"Our progressive jackpot network has set many records since its inception, but I’m absolutely overjoyed to say that our software has generated the world’s largest ever online jackpot win. Many congratulations to Jonathon on this life-changing and historic win!”
The massive win eclipses even the Euro 17,861,813 previous record achieved on NetEnt's Mega Fortune progressive in 2013 (see previous InfoPowa reports).

More detail
MORE DETAIL ON WORLD RECORD JACKPOT WIN (Update)
Online casino operator reveals that Brit soldier won GBP 13.2 million....on a 25p stake.
Jon Heywood, the Cheshire soldier who won GBP 13,213,838.68 by hitting a Mega Moolah online jackpot this week (see previous InfoPowa reports) did so on a 25p stake, operator Betway Online Caino has disclosed in a statement.
The 26-year-old Afghanistan war vet scored big in an otherwise depressing year in which his much-loved grandfather passed away and his father is ill and awaiting a heart and lung transplant… the big winner is going to use part of his new fortune to make sure that his Dad receives the best possible medical care.
Heywood told British media over the weekend that he may also splash out on a new car and a family holiday, but his father's recover is his priority.
"The first thing I will spend it on is the best possible medical treatment for my dad. That's more important than anything. Family comes first and I'd give all this money back for him to be healthy again," he said.
"I'm trying not to get carried away and I really don't know what else I'm going to buy with the money, apart from a yellow Bentley Continental GT. I never even dreamed of driving a Bentley, let alone owning one. I've got a Fiat Punto at the moment!"

That's the kind of story we all want to hear I think
Hit on a low bet to someone that are young and that seems to value money in the right way.
I relly hope it will give him a pleasant life

I can't believe it was won on a 25p stake
here is the story from an australian newspaper
notice how they dont say how or where it was won
what a monster hit !
A BRITISH soldier has become an overnight multi-millionaire after winning more than STG13.2 million ($A27.9 million) on a 25p (53 cents) stake.
JON Heywood, who has toured Afghanistan, won the fortune after placing his bet online.
And after a tough year in which the 26-year-old from Cheshire in northwest England saw his grandfather die, he has vowed that the first thing he will buy is the "best possible medical treatment" for his father who is awaiting a heart and lung transplant.
But Heywood does have his eye one extravagant purchase, and is hoping to spend some of the jackpot he won on a luxury car.
"I couldn't believe that I'd won all this money at the time - and it still hasn't sunk in," he said.

Neither can I!! I'm feeling a bit mugged off playing £5 and £6.25 a spin thinking I stood a better chance!!!
Good on him. Hope he gets a chance to join the forum and post a screenshot in the winners screenshot thread! I also think it may just scrape into the 3000x thread as well!!!

I wonder what his RTP is?
Probably better than everyones on here added together!

Good on him and a nice story.
To hit the jackpot on a minimum bet wow!, the odds must be billions to 1 of that happening!
It just shows though high rolling might give you more chances on the wheel but anybody on that wheel, no matter the stake can win huge. This will certainly bring a lot more players into the casinos that's for sure.
Although I bet there a few players out there pig sick having spent thousands if not tens of thousands at max bets trying to hit this.

I wrote this earlier in the other Mega Moolah thread:
Anyone else noticed that?
Great win for a guy who certainly deserves it.
What is strange though that the jackpot was hit at a value just above the highest jackpot win to date, which was back in 2013 on Netent's Mega Millions and in turn at the time had taken over from Microgaming the 1st spot for highest online JP wins.
Makes you wonder if Microgaming did let the Jackpot go that high on purpose to regain that top spot!!!
Just me thinking
Anyone else noticed that?
The rest didn't follow the quote but....
I don't believe they are controlling when it will go off, but I understand that many are.
Now if they could then what would it change?
Would you stop playing it then? Would you try to pay one who works at MG to get inside information of when?
Would you wait with playing until it reached a certain amount? I'm curious
