Canadian Player Wins Mega Moolah Jackpot
Date Added:
The mega jackpot which connects several Microgaming slot machines has finally been won and the good news is that it was a Canadian player who won. Player Mark A. triggered the progressive jackpot bonus round and then went on to scoop a world-record breaking CA$7,561,773. This is the largest progressive jackpot ever paid out to a mobile casino player.
The lucky Canadian was actually playing at the mobile version of one of our top-rated Canadian online casinos when he won his life-changing sum of money on April 9th. Royal Vegas Casino and Royal Vegas Mobile Casino are controlled by a company called Fortune Lounge and you can find a review for this top Microgaming casino right here on this website.
A spokesperson for Royal Vegas Casino said “Mark A had only been a player with us for 7 days; I don’t think you could ask for a better start to playing at Royal Vegas! One of our senior VIP executive hosts had the pleasure of phoning Mark to confirm the win and to congratulate him; to say he was elated is an understatement. Everyone here at Royal Vegas would like to congratulate Mark on this mammoth and historic win.”
The winner decided to take single cash payout in full rather than an annuity payment and it means that mark became an instant multi-millionaire. He has joined an exclusive club of millionaires thanks to Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network which has paid out more than €487 million (approx. CA$647 million) since the company’s first progressive jackpot slot machine appeared online.
Microgaming’s head of Casino, John Quinn, said “We’ve been watching the progressive ticker grow substantially over the last few weeks; anticipation was building as to when it was going to strike! Once again the jackpot was hit via a mobile device; it really is a sign of today’s industry and how prevalent mobile is! Congratulations to Mark A on becoming one of the biggest jackpot winners in Microgaming’s history.”
