WowPot Slot Makes History with £42 Million Online Casino Jackpot

The online gambling industry just witnessed a historic moment. On December 19th, 2023, Jackpot Rankings detected that a lucky player on the WowPot slot had won an astonishing £42 million, setting a new world record for the largest ever online casino jackpot win. It’s incredible to think that just one spin of the reels could lead to such a life-changing sum of money. The identity of the winner remains unknown, but the impact of this news on the industry is unprecedented.

Of course, WowPot is not the first slot to create a millionaire out of a random player. In fact, the online casino world has seen some jaw-dropping sums won over the past decade. Here are just a few of the biggest online casino jackpots in history:

1.      In 2021, a Belgian player won €19,430,723.60 on the Absolutely Mad Mega Moolah slot. This jackpot win became a hot topic across the online gambling community and was considered as a milestone moment in the slots industry. The player's spontaneity and luck both played a role in their success.

2.      In 2018, the second largest online casino jackpot in history was won by an anonymous player from Grand Mondial Casino, who won €18,915,721 on the popular Mega Moolah slot. This win came as a shock to everyone, including the online casino, as their identity was never revealed.

3.      In 2013, a lucky player at Betsson Casino won €17,861,800 on the Mega Fortune slot. This was one of the earliest massive jackpot wins, and the news traveled quickly, creating a buzz in the online gambling world.

4.      In 2011, the Mega Fortune slot appeared once again in the list of the largest online casino wins with a huge payout of €13,209,300. Many players find comfort in playing Mega Fortune because of its history of making millionaires out of players.

5.      In 2016, a lucky player from Canada hit the Mega Moolah jackpot at Zodiac Casino, winning $11,633,898. The win became a major international story, and the course of life changed for the player and their family.

The online casino industry is built upon the thrill of winning big, but we must also remember the importance of responsible gaming. It’s important to gamble responsibly and within your means. While big wins can be life-changing, they can also lead to financial ruin if not handled properly. Luckily, many online casinos today promote responsible gambling by implementing self-exclusion tools and offering support to players who may need assistance. The world has seen a new record being set in the online gambling industry, and we can only wait with bated breath to see who the lucky winner is and get a glimpse of their journey to hitting the jackpot.

Update 31/12/2023

The exact record-breaking jackpot amount has now been confirmed from WowPot games at €38,384,995.08

The discrepancy between what was recorded by Jackpot Rankings and what is shown in the game is due to the currency difference. Microgaming jackpots are always won in the amount displayed regardless of currency. For example, a 1,000,000 jackpot can be won at both $1,000,000 or £1,000,000. The Euro win amount confirmed in the WowPot games suggests that the jackpot was won in USD. The casino where the jackpot was won and the identity of the lucky winner still remains a mystery. 

The new jackpot has seeded at over £9 million. This could be won at any time, or perhaps even grow into another record breaker.
