A 24-year old Swede won the staggering €2.5 million jackpot while playing Mega Fortune. The winner had accessed the game through its mobile application on LeoVegas.
The CPO of Net Entertainment stated that by winning the jackpot through a mobile device, the player proved that anyone can become a millionaire anywhere – on the bus or while walking in a park.
The Mega Fortune Touch is one of the most played online slot games in Europe, and has given the biggest ever online jackpot of €17.8 million in early 2013, and is still unsurpassed on Guinnes World Record.
The winner, who lives in Stockholm, is very excited and shared that in the Swedish currency Kronos the jackpot is equal to twenty three million. He plans to invest most of the money to ensure his future financial needs are secured. He also plans to celebrate with all his friends.
The online slot machine was originally released in Europe back in 2008 and has made a number of Europeans into millionaires. Mega Fortune is one of the games of NetEnt network of global jackpots – one of the biggest online gambling communities.
The NetEnt casinos officially verified the jackpot yesterday, three days after it was won. After all the documentation and enquiries were made, the player was able to receive the sum in one payment to a bank account of his choosing. NetEnt representatives mentioned that they had to explain a few times that the jackpot was real, as the player was extremely shocked by the news and like most people – could not believe it at first.
Many of the NetEnt casinos offer special consulting to jackpot winners. The advice is given by financial experts, who explained to the winner his new situation and how he can best cope with it and organize his new financial assets. The specialists make sure to check on the winner, and strongly advise him or her to spend a considerable amount of time to carefully plan on how the money should be spent.
The public has been amazed by the fact that the jackpot was won on the Mega Fortune Touch e.g. on a mobile device supporting either Windows, Android or iOS operating systems. Many of the players did not believe that such a big jackpot can be won through a mobile phone, and are now transferring their play time from PC to mobiles.
It is not clear where the Swedish player was at the time of the winning. The only known thing was that he was using the LeoVegas Casino online. For security purposes, the true identity of the winner is kept a secret. Only the player himself can decide whether to make his name known to the public.
The game operators are now convinced that the Mega Fortune Touch will have increased traffic as the other two video slots offering jackpots similar to this one – Hall of Gods and Arabian Nights, are only accessible through personal computers.
