In the biggest win in online history for a woman and also for a Swedish citizen, one lucky player hit the ultra bloated NetEnt Slot Machine called Mega Fortune’s online Progressive Jackpot which came out to an amazing 5.3 Million Euros ($7.38M dollars).
The winner, who was practically speechless during the post-win interview, could only say – ‘It is difficult to see how much money it is, but I’ll take one day at a time and digest it all. I will buy a house and ensure that my family and loved ones are well off, and donate some to a good purpose.’
The winner wished to remain anonymous citing privacy concerns but it was revealed that she comes from a small town of Småland, and has been playing online slot machines for close to a year but only at very low limits.
In Sweden, all traditional as well as online gaming, is under the control of Sweden’s gambling monopoly and it is yet unknown whether the lucky jackpot winner was playing at an online casino within the monopoly. EU has slowly been pushing to regulate the Swedish market and allow more competition with little result as of yet.
Mega Fortune, the lucky online slot which made her a millionaire, is a very popular 5-reel, 25-payline game with the Progressive Jackpot attached. The progressive jackpot slots have already been reseeded back to $250,000 and is awaiting the next lucky winner.

With the current economic situation in the United States sending casinos looking for ways to entice customers in, many original promotions and perks are getting a test run in some gambling houses on Native American lands. Case in point in the Table Mountain Casino located nearby Fresno, California. At that casino, every one of the 2,000 slot machines on the gaming floor is tied in to an exclusive progressive jackpot available only to the casino’s “Player’s Club” members. The jackpot starts at $50,000 and can hit a max of $150,000.
The first winner of the “Mega Mountain Jackpot” was reported this weekend after about three weeks with the big prize installed: A player known as Richard from Auberry, California, took home a nice $100,633.33 in cash on a $3.75 spin on his favorite machine.
Another feature Table Mountain introduced was its “Rapid Bonus Rewards,” a way of hourly awarding random players with free spins.

A player known as Matthew G. got his name into the record books this week by winning the Deal Or No Deal progressive jackpot – but better yet, he also took home nearly £2 million!
Bristol resident Matthew G. won the exact figure of £1,963,088 (over $3.03 million) at Jackpot Joy online bingo hall. This marks the third time the Deal Or No Deal progressive slot has paid out over £1.3 million in the past 18 months. The former record for a progressive jackpot slots win by a U.K. resident was sent about a year ago, when Paul M. of Kent won £1.438 million on the machine; in May 2009, Keith R. won £1.365 on the slot game.
Jackpot Joy is today reporting a humorous story about Matthew G., namely that he’d semi-jokingly promised to pay a friend £250,000 ($386,000) if he won the big jackpot … and he followed through on the promise!
Not only is Matthew G.’s win the largest-ever progressive jackpot won by a British citizen, the prize is also the biggest ever won at an online bingo site. However, a much huger winner is somewhere out there, as Jackpot Joy’s Clover Rollover progressive slot jackpot is currently at over £3,200,000 ($4.95 million).
