NetEnt is on fire!
Or at least, the slot game Mega Fortune is. That’s because someone who played Mega Fortune at Betsson Casino & Live Casino app won the pooled jackpot prize of 3.1 million Euros.
The winner—a 23 year old gamer from Hesse, Germany—won the eye-popping prize using the Touch mobile version of the 50-cent stake NetEnt game.
It’s not surprising really. Mega Fortune currently holds the Guinness World Record that has made the largest jackpot payout ever for an online slot machine (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-jackpot-payout-in-an-online-slot-machine-game). The amount? A jaw-dropping 17.9 million Euros! It was paid out last January of 2013.
It has been transforming players into multi-millionaires across Europe since it was first commercially launched in 2008.
This 3.1 million jackpot prize is the second to be paid out this week. The first one was a 4.6 million Euro win which was won on Leo Vegas site. The slot game played was Mega Fortune (Touch mobile version), also a slot game from NetEnt.
The young German millionaire revealed:
“After seeing a Mega Fortune promotion, my husband and I decided to give the game a try after we put our children to bed – and then the impossible happened. When we saw the jackpot, we jumped around!”
Chief Product Officer of NetEnt, Simon Hammon said something quite interesting:
“The ability to win such an amount on a mobile device really shows how one’s life can change while on the move.”
