WowPot Strikes Again!

By Simon Wright, Last updated Jun 30, 2023

Just one week after a UK player at the 32Red online casino hit a massive 8 figure jackpot playing Microgaming’s Book of Atem:WowPot, which we reported on yesterday, Microgaming have today confirmed that yet another player has hit the Mega Jackpot.

This time a lucky player hailing from Belgium won over €2m whilst playing at Napoleon Sports & Casino Online.

Marking the second-largest win on WowPot since it launched in February 2020, the seven-figure sum is also the biggest to be uncovered so far on Sherlock & Moriarty WowPot, which launched network-wide in late March 2021. As with all payouts on Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network, the prize will be awarded in a lump sum.

Sherlock & Moriarty WowPot, the fifth game to play to Microgaming’s WowPot jackpot, was created exclusively for Microgaming by Just For The Win. Transporting players to Victorian-era London to meet the world’s most famous gumshoe detective, this atmospheric five-reel progressive slot is loaded with thrilling features and massive win potential.

After cracking a Major case worth €440,481.82* on its first day in action last month, the game has now awarded more than €3.5m in jackpot prizes.

Six slots featuring a diverse range of game worlds now feed into WowPot’s progressive prize pool, which has once again reset to its impressive €2 million starting seed, while Microgaming’s iconic Mega Moolah jackpot continues to lead as the industry’s largest jackpot†, currently climbing towards €18.5 million**.

John Coleman, CEO at Microgaming, commenting on yet another WowPot jackpot win had this to say: “Remarkable to see a second hit on WowPot just days after the first! Sherlock & Moriarty is a beautifully crafted game by Just For The Win, and even though it launched network-wide less than a month ago, it has already awarded more than 58,000 wins across all jackpot tiers. My congratulations go to Napoleon and their player on this brilliant win.” 

Tim De Borle, CEO at Napoleon Sports & Casino Online, added: “Our lucky player is on cloud nine and so are we! Jackpot games are an important and exciting asset in our portfolio, and we are delighted to have a great partner like Microgaming who provides these wonderful games. Let’s go for a new record.”
