Microgaming's online progressive jackpot set a new record on the Internet last year with a $5.5 million payout. This year, a new record has been set at €6.3 million - the exact amount totaling a whopping €6,374,434 million!

The previous record jackpot won on Mega Moolah was hit on April 2008 by Klaus E. from Finland. He won 5.5 million after placing a $0.50 bet on the progressive slot machine.

This week, a very lucky player, Georgios M., won a €6.3 million prize on the Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot. €6.3 million, equivalent to about $8.6 million, is an all-time high for an online progressive jackpot. Since the jackpot went over $5.5 million, and especially in the few days before the jackpot was won, players have been playing hard in the hopes of being the lucky one who would walk off with millions.

Georgios M. is a 36-year-old business owner, father and husband, who has a "passion for slot machines." Georgios was playing the Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot slot machine on Saturday evening when he hit the huge jackpot. After winning, Georgios "could not believe it," so he called his online casino's customer support line to confirm that he had in fact won the millions. He was instantly assured that he had in fact won a little more than €6.3 million.

A win of this magnitude is difficult for most people to grasp, although any jackpot win on the Mega Moolah Progressive Slot game is worthwhile because the jackpot begins at a whopping 1,000,000. The jackpot was immediately started again after the millions were won, and has already begun to climb.

Microgaming's Mega Moolah is the game that made last year's record-making online jackpot, and this year's record-breaking online jackpot. The game has become well-known because of the huge amount of winnings that Mega Moolah has paid out to players, reaching a total of more than $16 million.

Unfortunately for players from the United States, they are not allowed to play in Microgaming-powered casinos at this time. Microgaming was one of the last software companies to pull out of the US after the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) was brought into legislation.

The Mega Moolah slot game is available at all Microgaming-powered online casinos. Players will find their favorite progressive slot game at 7 Sultans Casino, All Slots Casino, Jackpot City Casino, Platinum Play Casino, Roxy Palace Casino, and Royal Vegas Casino, amongst others.
