The adjudicator from the Guinness World Records has now certified that the recent progressive jackpot of over €11.7 million paid out by software provider Net Entertainment AB, is the largest sum EVER to be paid out at an online slot game. The mammoth sum was scooped by a 20-year-old player from Hordaland, Norway in September this year. The lucky Norwegian banked the exact sum of €11,736,228 – the record breaking amount that’s sure to change their life forever.

The win came courtesy of Betsson.com, a gaming website that provides casino, live casino, poker, bingo, scratchcards and sportsbook for a global market.

Slots games are, as ever, one of the most popular choices in the online casinos, and no doubt online gamers will flock to play at the very slot in very same online casino that currently boasts the world record slot pay-out.

The slot that boasts this accolade is the Progressive Jackpot game, Mega Fortune slot. This is a five-Reel, 25 Pay-Line game that forms part of Net Entertainment’s jackpot network. As a progressive game, all money paid into the game from across the globe is pooled to create a mammoth jackpot. As the jackpot grows, so does the appeal of the game. Progressive Jackpots will generally increase faster and faster as more gamers become enticed by the huge sums to be won.

Mega Fortune slot was launched in 2008, and since then has paid out in excess of €26 million. This includes a €5.3 million jackpot that was claimed in February last year. All it takes is one lucky spin, and the entire pool of money is claimed by one lucky winner. With such tremendous sums of money at stake and such thrill involved in taking part of the game, it’s hardly surprising that Progressive Jackpot slots are amongst the most popular online casino games in existence today.
