Well, in the space of just 14 days the MPJN has paid out 2 of the largest jackpot wins in history plus a 2 million Euro jackpot for good measure!

The latest progressive jackpot pay-out came within the last 24 hours after a lucky player smashed and grabbed a holy than thou €19,430,723.60 to be precise! He was a player from Belgium playing an unknown spin bet amount on the Microgaming Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah video slot designed by one of the software provider’s independent game studios – Triple Edge Studios.

It was the third Mega Moolah jackpot slot to be released hitting the MPJN back in April last year! It is almost as if this slot wanted to celebrate its birthday month by releasing its coffers to make yet another new millionaire thanks to Microgaming’s prolific network responsible for what must surely be €1.4 billion in pay-outs by now, despite the Microgaming website’s jackpot page showing a figure of €1.3 billion!

With a 19 million Euro win, this beats the current Guinness World Records €18,915,872.81 win on the original mega Moolah African Safari themed video slot way back in 2018!

This month we have seen 3 astounding million-Euro life-changing wins come out of the MPJN. Firstly, on 14 April the Book of Atem WowPot MPJN paid €17.53 million, becoming the 93^rd millionaire from MPJN jackpot slots.

That was the first time the WowPot jackpot paid since it began back in February 2020, but there was still more to come as 5 days later it paid out for the second time in its history – this time the jackpot was worth just a little over €2 million because the previous 14 April win had reset the jackpot to its baseline €2 million mark. And we only had to wait a short while for the 95^th MPJN millionaire to come out of the woodwork instigating this news report thanks to that €19.43 million jackpot win!

All Mega Moolah and WowPot slot titles are connected to 4 separate progressive jackpots. These are the mini, minor, major and mega for Mega Moolah, and mini, minor, major and WowPot for the WowPot network!

Mega Moolah Jackpot Network Continues to Grow

When you start reading the stats for the Mega Moolah network alone, you can’t help but ask yourself how Microgaming manages to make any money out of these slot titles after paying out so much in jackpot wins!

Yet this is a collection of slots available at 100s of online casinos all connected to the same jackpot network. Players from multiple casinos all play the same slot! While there are currently 5 slots in the collection which are Mega Moolah (the original), Atlantean Treasures, Absolootly Mad, Fortunium Gold, and Juicy Joker Mega Moolah. This gives the jackpot network more reach to collect jackpot contributions not just showcases its jackpot titles art multiple casinos but also giving players multiple themes to play to vie for that millionaire making jackpot prize!

And there is more to come! Mega Moolah Goddess is coming soon, while one of Microgaming’s most popular slot titles, Immortal Romance, will soon join the Mega Moolah network bringing the total number of titles up to 7 which will inevitably mean more frequent and higher jackpot wins!

How Do Microgaming Jackpots Grow To Their Million Euro Status?

For the jackpot to build up as high as they do, Microgaming guarantees a prize pool initially. Therefore, after the Major or WowPot jackpots pays out, the each network resets to €2 million Euros. To build up the jackpot to the huge 8-digit totals, a percentage of every bet made across the 100s of casinos and multiple slot titles contributes to the jackpot!

Even land-based casinos are introducing the networked progressive jackpot solution as technology advances. Physical slot titles in a casino or across multiple casinos can now connect to an internal network within the casino to help build up jackpots in the same way. However, land-based jackpot slots do not have the unlimited reach online jackpot slot have, and as such the best chances of becoming a millionaire playing video slots is via online casinos with Microgaming Mega Moolah or WowPot slot titles!
