This past weekend, Micrograming and Mega Moolah brought the world a new millionaire. The online progressive slot jackpot was won at the record-breaking amount of €6,374,434 million.

The Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot was last hit at the sum of 5.5 million by Klaus E. from Finland in April 2008. This year, the jackpot was won by the lucky slots player, Georgios M.

The 36-year-old husband, father and business owner, Georgios M. is an avid slot player, and in his words has a “passion for slot machines.” After he won the Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot on Saturday evening, he called River Belle’s 24/7 customer service to make sure that he had really won more than six million euros. River Belle’s customer service employees assured him that he had in fact won, and that he was now a millionaire.

The Mega Moolah jackpot, which is available in online casinos that are powered by Microgaming, has been reset to 1,000,000 and has already risen by a few thousand. The jackpot is paid out to players in the currency in which they were playing the slot game. If a player is playing in dollars, they will win the number of credits shown in dollars, just as Georgios M. won the millions in euros because he was playing the game in euros.

At this time, United States players are unable to join in the competition for the biggest online slots jackpot available on the net because Microgaming pulled out of the US after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed.
