Genesis Casino Winner
In the news this week, December 2019, Genesis Casino has had a seven-figure winner on the slot game Mega Moolah. The lucky player, who has chosen to remain anonymous has won a seriously life-changing amount of money. The figure is €3,252,353.70, which is well over £2.7 million, so it’s understandable why they do not wish to be named. What we do know is that they are based in the UK, and the winning date was November the 8th 2019. What is staggering is the amount they actually bet on the game to win this huge amount of money, it was just €7.25 or £6.25. That’s right, under a tenner to become a millionaire! The CEO of Genesis Casino, Ariel Reem, said “We’re ecstatic for the player on their massive win on the Mega Moolah jackpot! It’s been a thrilling ride, but one lucky player had to strike – congratulations from everyone at Genesis Casino! We look forward to seeing many more winners on our platform.”
Progressive Slots
The game is developed and maintained by Microgaming, who is one of the biggest software development companies in the world. They offer a progressive jackpot network, which is how the money gets to be so massive. What happens is every time a bet is placed in a progressive jackpot game, a percentage of the wager goes into a central pot. The lucky winner managed to trigger and win the full sum of the progressive jackpot, and therefore they get it all, and the company has confirmed that it will be awarded in one lump sum. Over the years the progressive jackpot network offered by Microgaming has seen over ten other winners who took home either 7 or 8 figure winnings which is over €50 million in total. Some 570 players received winnings that totalled €10,000 or more. This means overall the progressive jackpot has been worth over €121 million, so you might want to think again if you believe there are no winners.
