Biggest Ever Mobile Slots Jackpot Hit For £3.7m

Last week, a major milestone was reached in mobile gaming after one lucky player won the biggest ever mobile jackpot in history worth an incredible  £3,744,513.
The German player known as Gabriel L was at Spin Palace playing the Mega Moolah slot when he hit the life changing jackpot. The safari themed online slot is unique to Microgaming casinos, with the highly regarded progressive network having now paid out over €375 million in total prizes over the past few years, more than €15 million of which has been to mobile players.
Commenting after his incredible piece of good fortune, Gabriel L said: “I simply couldn’t believe it! Especially seeing that I won it playing on my mobile phone. I still can’t believe it. Thank you Spin Palace!”
The CEO of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever, seemed equally delighted to announce the winner and highlight the importance of mobile gaming to the company, stating: “It is so exciting that a staggering £3.7m has been hit on our HTML5 client. I am particularly proud of our mobile product as we roll out new content every month and currently offer 103 mobile games, which is the most in the industry. This win will be paid out to Gabriel L in one single payment so he can enjoy the winnings immediately. Watch this space for more exciting developments from Microgaming’s mobile offering in the near future!”
Did you know that £3,744,513 may be the largest amount ever won in mobile gaming history, but the biggest jackpot ever won online occurred on Sunday, 20th January, 2013, when a middle-aged Finnish player won a staggering €17.8 million ($22,974,400) while playing the Mega Fortune slot at Paf.com. On land, however, the biggest slot-machine payout in history was won by a 25-year-old software engineer from Los Angeles, who released a  progressive Megabucks Jackpot in Las Vegas worth an incredible $39.7 million.
