Yes, it happens in real life too. While most people believe that massive jackpot winnings happen in movies only, the fact is that plenty of enormous wishes have been granted in the real world as well. In the past, they were reserved for land-based casinos only, particularly for Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Things are much different these days, as we are witnessing numerous winnings on the network as well. These huge jackpots are happening all around the world, so here are some of the biggest records we’ve managed to find.
7.9 Million Euro Female Jackpot On iPad
Believe it or not, one of the biggest jackpot records was made on a mobile device. We are talking about an iPad. Also, we know it was a female player that played at Zodiac Casino. Those are the only things we know about this record. The age and location are still a mystery. We can say the same for the name, as we only know initials (M.P.). The win has been confirmed by the house.
€8.57 Million In Sweden
The thing with most of these jackpots is that we don’t know all details about lucky players. In this case, we know that the player was playing Mega Moolah, developed by Swedish house NetEnt. We know this happened five years ago, on November 18, 2015. We also know the player’s first name (Alexander), and that he was 30 years old and lived in Sweden. The exact sum is 8.577.204 Euro.
€11.7 In a Sleepless Night
Another huge win happened in Scandinavia. It looks like the sleeping problem one guy from Norway faced on September 24, 2011, was the best night in his life. Allegedly, he couldn’t sleep that night, so he decided to play some slot games. The house he picked was Betsson.com, while Mega Fortune is the game we are talking about. Personal details are a mystery.
€17,861,800 Win In Finland
We can’t say for sure that this is the biggest win in online casino history, but it is definitely among the biggest ones. The even more impressive thing about this jackpot is that the player placed just 25 cents. He played at PAF, a Scandinavian house, seven years ago. When it comes to personal details, we know he’s a male, probably in his 40s.
Biggest Microgaming Payout Went to Grece
One of them is Greece, where we have a business owner called Georgios M. This 36-year old won €6.3 million, at River Belle Online Casino. This is probably the biggest sum ever won in this part of the world.
Mega Moolah Win From New Zealand
Huge jackpots happened in other parts of the world as well, including bonuses at kiwi casinos. This is the second Mega Moolah win on the list and while the first winner is from Sweden, this one is from New Zealand. He played the same game, but at the house called Casinoland. His win is also impressive and goes all-away up to 10,144,395.82 NZ Dollars.
10.4 Million Batman
Dark Night isn’t just a famous blockbuster but also a popular slot game, inspired by the same movie. Developed by Microgaming, this slot game recorded impressive 10,423,223 Australian Dollars on April 8, 2016. Obviously, the winner comes from Australia and he won this jackpot playing at Spin Palace Casino.
Hall of Gods
This game is well-known not just for great graphics and thematics, but also for a couple of massive jackpots. One of them occurred on April 8, 2015. A player enjoyed this game at the house called Betsson Casino and an interesting thing about this case is that we know anything about this player, except that he/she won €7,820,888.
