Slots Winner Hits Record €17.8m Jackpot

One lucky man from Finland is celebrating his incredible good fortune after taking down an online slots jackpot worth a whopping €17,861,813.The huge payout has smashed the previous Guinness Book of World Records record for the biggest online slots win set by a 20 year old Norwegian student in September 2011 of €11.7 million.
This time around, the 40 year old Helsinki man has added a further €6 million on top of the previous jackpot to officially be recognized as the largest online jackpot winner ever. Furthermore, he will receive the staggering amount as a tax-free sum. Following the payout, a spokesman for the Net Entertainment powered online casino Paf.com, commented: “This win is completely off the charts for these kind of games. The whole gaming world has been holding its breath during this fall and winter, while the jackpot has just kept on growing.”
While the Finnish man has so far remained anonymous, it is unlikely his identity will be revealed anytime soon as Paf.com takes great lengths to ensure its winners are given the best advice possible for a happier life experience. As Paf CEO Anders Ingves explains: “Every time a Paf customer wins a large amount of money, the gaming company does its best to support the player in their new life situation. Since we want the prize money to be a source of joy for the winner, we strongly recommend that winners seek economic counseling and that they remain anonymous. We also recommend that big winners take a break from playing.”
Paf.com would also seem to be a particularly lucky site to play online slots at as during the last year alone numerous big jackpots have been won. These include one player who hit a jackpot worth €6.9 million, and another who walked away richer to the tune of €8.6 million.
