Soldier wins £13.5 million on Mega Moolah Slot
admin 
In an online slot machine game, this is the “largest jackpot payout in Guinness World Records history”. The 25p bet that won Jon Heywood £13.2 million in 2015 made him an instant millionaire.
One night in October 2015, it all happened in a flash. In the days following his return from Afghanistan, the former soldier held a minimum wage job and decided to play Mega Moolah for fun after a long day’s work. The Cheshire-based 26-year-old was playing the popular Mega Moolah slot online. Bets were made for 25p using a £30 deposit. He won precisely £13,213,838.68 in just seven minutes.
While playing the fateful game, Heywood was engrossed in a documentary rather than thinking about a strategy for winning. A few minutes later, Heywood found himself on a bonus level after a large spinning wheel appeared on the screen.
To his surprise, the jackpot spot appeared on the wheel. At first, he imagined winning a few thousand pounds. However, his life would be transformed forever by the numbers that stared back at him: £13,213,838.
A combination of shock, disbelief, and indecision caused Heywood little sleep the night after the victory. He went to work as usual, but nothing would ever be the same again.
Mega Moolah Slot
Among Microgaming’s most iconic online slots, Mega Moolah is one of the most popular. One of the oldest progressive jackpot games online, it was released in November 2006. There are four versions to choose from. A lion’s distant roar and ambient sounds complete the jungle theme of this classic slot game with five reels and 25 paylines.
Despite their different themes, all Mega Moolah games offer a progressive jackpot that is ever-increasing.
Casinos that host Mega Moolah games contribute to the jackpot pool. As of this writing, the jackpot is worth £13.5 million. When it hits, it will likely set a new record.
At Cryptoslots crypto-currency casino, the $1,000,000 Jackpot Trigger game recently paid out the biggest jackpot since the casino launched. It took just one single spin for LETTERMAN43 to win $100,100.
