An 11 Million Plus Hit On Mega Moolah Online

September 5, 2016

Microgaming Mega Moolah is by far the most popular progressive jackpot at Canadian online casinos. It has again dropped at over 10 million credits. This hit came at the fag end of last month, on Sunday August 28. The winner was a player named D.P. from Zodiac Casino. This online casino belongs to the Casino Rewards group, which is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission from Quebec.

D.P. hit the Mega Progressive jackpot of Mega Moolah when it was ticking away at 11,609,942 credits. He will be paid this amount in his currency of wagering, which works out to the equivalent of €7,968,311 according to a press release from Microgaming. Microgaming pays its progressive jackpot winners in one lump sum amount and D.P. will soon receive the cheque. The press release has stated that this Mega Moolah hit has broken records left, right and centre. This was the biggest hit by far on Mega Moolah from a mobile device. John Quinn, Head of Casino at Microgaming, said, “With mobile gaming now accounting for almost half of all gameplay, it's no surprise that we are seeing mega wins on this platform.” The current hit was also the biggest ever Mega Moolah hit by a player from the Casino Rewards group. There have been five hits prior to this on Mega Moolah from Casino Rewards online casinos. The previous best was about half the amount, standing at 5,556,754 credits.

Quinn also pointed out that Mega Moolah is the longest-standing and biggest progressive jackpot network in the market, which holds a Guinness World Records title for the largest single payout. This payout of £13,212,812 hit was achieved by a UK player from Betway Casino. When all progressive hits were matched on a common currency base, this hit stood ahead by a nose. Mega progressive is set to its base value of 1 million credits only when the hit is in British pounds. In all other cases the payout is converted to British pounds and this amount is reduced from the hit value. As a result Mega Progressive was reset to just below 5 million credits after the current hit. This Microgaming policy is benefitting players considerably. All the hits on Mega Progressive in 2016 have been above 5 million.

There are several Canadian online casinos from where you can wager on Mega Moolah and the other slot games linked to this progressive jackpot network. These include Jackpot City, Platinum Play and Spin Palace.
