Best Jackpot Games for Online Casinos 2022 – Biggest Record Wins

In most ways they are just the same as traditional slot games but with one big difference, for progressive slots there is a huge jackpot that you can win. There has already been many occasions of players winning millions in just one single spin and it is this huge jackpot potential that makes progressive slots one of the most popular slots to be played by players across the globe for both brick and mortar casinos and online casinos.

All progressive jackpot slots work in a similar way to one another. Every time any player clicks ‘spin', a percentage of their stake goes into the jackpot pool. The progressive jackpot carries on growing, getting bigger and bigger, until one lucky player wins it.

How you actually win the jackpot can vary from game to game but most slots have a special Jackpot Bonus Game where your progressive jackpot win will be revealed.

There has literally been billions won on jackpot games, and the current record win was won on the Mega Moolah slot, made by Microgaming. This happened on the 21st of April 2021 when a player won a mind-blowing €19,430,723,60 on the slot Mega Moolah: Absolootely Mad. The previous record was standing since October of 2018, where an anonymous player won a whooping €18,915,873! The crazy part about this record breaking win, was that the player only placed a bet of €0.75 to rake in this enormous sum of money. There is also a jackpot slot from NetEnt called Mega Fortunes, that is the third place record holder with €17,861,800 on a mere €0.25 spins. Which proves that you do not have to be a high-roller to become a multi-millionaire, just a small investment can turn out to be the best choice you ever make.

The tenth place in our top list of the biggest jackpot wins in history of online casinos was a mysterious player with the initials D.P. This player has the tenth largest win on a progressive jackpot slot, and even did the massive hit on a mobile device on August 28, 2016. There is little information about who or where this player was from, but we do know that the win was made on Mega Moolah, using an iPad, while playing at Zodiac Casino.

This also happened on the jackpot slot Mega Moolah from Microgaming. Early in April 2017, a Mobile Casino user playing on mobile, won a whooping €7.8 million on Tipico Casino. This beat the previous record win with over €400,000 and this player as well decided to stay anonymous. This player spent just €6.25 for the spin that made him or her millions of euros.

The eight Largest Progressive Jackpot Winner was Alexander from Sweden, who took home a juicy €8.5 Million on the slot Mega Fortune from NetEnt. The win was gotten while playing at Folkeautomaten and the lucky player was only 30 years at the time of the huge win. The lucky player stated himself that he was completely speechless at first and then woke up his wife to celebrate. Settling his mortgage, a new car and in general just stay low, was the initial plans of the young millionaire.

In April 2020 at Jackpot City Casino, and of course on Mega Moolah, our seventh largest jackpot winner was made with the mouth watering win of €10,735,716.84. The Chief Operating Officer of Microgaming, Andrew Clucas came out to congratulate this amazing win with the following statement:

“We are thrilled for the victorious player who struck this staggering €10.7 million win – congratulations! Mega Moolah continues to be a favourite among players worldwide, and so we are excited to be adding more new progressive games to the jackpot and network throughout the year.”

This major win is even a former Guinness World Record win, when a young man from Norway was staying up late at night and struggled to fall asleep. Instead of putting his head on the pillow, this young player decided to login to his account at Betsson Casino. The player won the (at that time) record breaking jackpot win on 24th of September 2011, and it made him €11,736,375 for not going to bed. This was not on Mega Moolah, but rather on Mega Fortune which also holds the eight place position for largest jackpot win on online casinos, but it is still not the biggest ever won.

Mega Moolah did it again on the 20th of August 2020, this time with a jaw-dropping €14,239,532.84 win on Lucky Casino. Sadly no information about the casino winner was revealed, but who can blame a new come multi-millionaire to want to protect their identity from people wanting a piece of the pie. We can understand that players want to keep their online jackpot win a secret.

By now you are probably seeing a pattern in relation to which online slot is paying out the largest progressive jackpot winnings. Our fourth place finished also was paid out on the famous Mega Moolah slot. This time the player decided to go public though, which is kind of rare, but Jonathon Heywood, a 26-year old British soldier from Cheshire, United Kingdom. Jonathan won the blazing €14.5 Million on the 6th of October 2015, andhe was spinning for only €0.30 per spin. This incredible jackpot hit was made possible at Betway Casino, and both their representative as well as Microgaming shared their joy of this new record breaking win.

The top jackpot wins are all crazy, and number three was at the time of the win a World Record Slot Machine Win. Betting only €0.25 a 46 year old Finnish man won a mind-boggling €17,861,800 on PAF Casino. This happened on NetEnt's Mega Fortune back in 2013 on January 20th. This win was surely a dream come true for the Fin that was spinning for just a few cents, when winning the enormous sum of money on that holy Sunday.

Mega Moolah would not let Mega Fortune be on the top of the list and on the 28th of September 2018, Mega Moolah reclaimed the throne as the number one highest progressive jackpot win. This record has however been beaten now, but we will get to that in a moment. This mega lucky player was playing on Grand Mondial Casino, and was betting just over €1 when the heavenly sum of €18,915,721 came raining down!

This record breaking win, and the current Guinness Book of World Records holder was done on a sequel to the Mega Moolah slot, called Mega Moolah: Absolootly Mad from Microgaming. This happened on 27th of April 2021 and the Godlike jackpot paid out €19,430,723.60 to the lucky individual. This record breaking jackpot win was triggered at Napoleon Sports & Casino Online, and it was a player from Belgium that won it and is the current title holder. Everyone at BaconBet congratulates the newly made multi-millionaire with this amazing win and we also look forward to seeing this record being broken in the years to come. For at some stage even this one has to be broken, will it be you that takes the new first place?
