10. Mega Moolah Mobile - $8.8 million
Bam! Imagine winning over $8.8 million playing slots online.
On August 28, 2016, a player (gender and age unknown) scooped $8.8 million while playing Mega Moolah Mobile on an iPad.
At the time of the win, the player whose initials were revealed as D.P became the largest progressive jackpot winner ever hit on a mobile device. D.P won the jackpot playing a special innovative promotion called '80 Chances to Become a Millionaire', which required only a small deposit of just £1 to play. Amazing!
9. Mega Moolah - $9.2 million
Just under a year after the player known as D.P. became the biggest ever winner on a mobile device a new person took the top spot in April 2017 with a massive $9.2 million win, also playing Mega Moolah. The lucky winner decided to remain anonymous (you can't blame him/her). According to sources, the player wagered $7.20 per spin, which is quite a lot but he who dares wins.
8. Mega Fortune - $9.57 million
Alexander from Sweden was only 30 years old when he scooped an eye-watering $9.57m jackpot playing the online slots game Mega Fortune.
Sounds like early retirement money for the lucky Scandinavian who at the time commented saying that he was speechless at first and then he woke up his wife to celebrate.
Alexander had said the first thing he was going to do with all that dosh was pay off his mortgage, get a new car and embark on an exciting holiday. After that, he planned to lay low and enjoy spending his money slowly.
7. Mega Moolah - $12 million
There is no stopping the Mega Moolah online slots game. In April 2020 an online casino paid out a jaw-dropping $12m to a lucky winner.
The winner decided to remain anonymous but the Chief Operating Officer of the online casino made sure to publicly congratulate the victorious bettor.
6. Mega Fortune - $13.47 million
The sixth biggest ever online slots win goes to a young man from Norway who scooped $13.47 million on 24 September 2011 playing Mega Fortune. He said on that night he couldn't sleep so he decided to have a go at the popular slots game and when he won the incredible jackpot which made the Guinness World Record, he stayed up all night because he couldn't get back to sleep. The head of this particular online casino was also in shock but also delighted that his company made its way into the Guinness World Record.
5. Mega Moolah - $16.7 million
The jackpots keep getting bigger and better and on August 20th 2020 an anonymous player won a head-spinning $16.7m playing Mega Moolah online.
Most jackpot winners who win life-changing sums of money decide to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. It's also common for lottery winners to remain unnamed too.
4. Mega Moolah - $17.2 million
Hooray! Finally, a Brit makes the list of the top 10 biggest online slots jackpot winners of all time.
You're going to love this story. 26-year-old Jonathon Heywood from Cheshire won the record-breaking jackpot on October 6, 2015. The British soldier was playing Mega Moolah for just 25p per spin when he scooped the insane jackpot, after which Jonathon said that everything felt surreal.
The first thing most people think about when they come into a windfall of cash is to start thinking about spending their winnings on stuff like cars, homes and holidays. Not Jonathon though. At the time of his jackpot success, his father was ill and when asked about how he felt about scooping such a huge win he told the BBC that "Family comes first and I'd give all this money back for him to be healthy again". What a great guy. Well done Jonathan.
3. Mega Fortune - $21 million
How about this for betting low and winning BIG?
A man in his 40s from Finland bet just 25 cents on his spin and ended up winning $21 million.
The unnamed player was playing Mega Fortune on a Scandinavia based online casino site. The jackpot was won on January 20, 2013 on the progressive jackpot slot game. The winner said, "I laughed and cried at the same time". Tears of sheer joy!
2. Mega Moolah - $23.5 million
On the 28th of September 2018 a lucky player wagered a small bet on the online slots game Mega Moolah and scooped a gargantuan jackpot of $23.5m.
Absolutely no information about this winner has ever been revealed so we don't know their country of residence, age, gender or anything about them, however, the person is a Guinness World Record holder. Whoever and wherever you are, congrats to you.
