On 6th October 2015, Microgaming’s Mega Moolah slot made history when UK player Jon Heywood hit the mega jackpot, scooping £13,213,838.68 (€17,879,645.12). The Cheshire soldier became an instant millionaire from a 25p bet, receiving the life-changing amount via a single payment.
After a thorough approval process with evidence submitted by both Betway and Microgaming, including ratification from eCOGRA, Guinness World Records has confirmed the win as a world record. Microgaming shares the Guinness World Records achievement with operator Betway, and jackpot winner, Jon.
