Just when you thought progressive jackpots at online
casinos couldn't get any larger, another millionaire was
made after hitting a multi-million Euro jackpot. In
fact, the lucky player becomes the biggest online
millionaire to date. The whopping jackpot was to the
tune of €6,374,434, which
is the largest jackpot ever won in the history of online
gambling.
Not surprisingly, the jackpot was through Microgaming
Software's expansive progressive jackpot network of
online casinos. Mainly focused on the UK and Euro online
gambling sector, Microgaming casinos are widely
considered some of the best destinations to wager
online. Even after closing their doors to the U.S.
market, Microgaming has been able to procure a large
share of the billions gambled online each year.
Consequently, the progressive jackpots have managed to
stay hefty.
This has never been more evident than the massive
jackpots building up at Microgaming's "Mega Moolah"
video slot, which has paid out $286 million to 7,000+
players, and is directly responsible for creating 14
online millionaires. Indeed, it was "Mega Moolah" that
dished out this most recent millionaire. And quite
frankly, it's likely to be "Mega Mollah" that will make
the next online millionaire.
The online casino lucky enough to host the jackpot
(almost as lucky as the winning player) was River Belle
Casino. One of the top online casinos in the popular
Belle Rock Entertainment Group (managed by
Gibraltar-based and licensed, Carmen Media), which
includes the OCS reviewed
Jackpot City Casino, River Belle
is no stranger to large jackpots. Taking a peek at the
Recent Winners page of this eCOGRA approved casino's
website and you'll see what I mean.
Carmen Media's CEO, Tim Johnson, expressed the
excitement felt by all. "It's always a pleasure to see
players win life changing jackpots", said Johnson. He
went on to give a hearty congratulations to the player
who happened to be a longtime loyal player at River
Belle. Second Johnson's congratulations was Microgamign
CEO, Roger Raatgever. Due to privacy laws, the full
identity of the player could not be disclosed. However,
it has been confirmed that the player is a small
business owner residing in Greece, and who goes by the
name Georgios M.
