You know those big shiny slot machines that promise jackpots of millions, well, one of them has just paid out again and it wasn’t to me! Don’t all hurry to pass me a tissue, I’ve got no more tears left to cry because if it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all! Just kidding, ignore me.
One of my all-time favourite slots has created yet another millionaire; Mega Fortune and the lucky player has hit the headlines for two reasons; the first being the whopping great win and the second for smashing the operators previous record of highest jackpot ever won!
“Our global jackpot games are continuing to break records across the globe and we’re proud to be able to bring such monumental wins to players through Mega Fortune,” said Andy Whitworth, Chief Commercial Officer at NetEnt. “We hope to continue raising the bar with even bigger jackpots in future.”
So, how much did they win and where? SEK28 million, which is roughly €2.6 million (or £2.3m in pounds sterling), and they won it just a week after the last record was set! How amazing is that! The player in Sweden scooped the fortune when playing at the Svenska Spel Sport & Casino.
Niklas Örtbrant, Head of Online Casino, at Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, said: “To break records twice in two weeks with such a significant jump from the second to first highest win is incredible and we can’t wait to see what the jackpot climbs to next time. We wish all the best to the lucky player and hope they enjoy this life-changing sum.”
Live the High-Life
Now that the ‘mega jackpot’ has been won, the pot has to fill up again and as of the weekend, it was edging towards the £400K mark. Symbols of luxury jewellery, wads of notes, limousines and champagne (key to bonus spins!) adorn the reels, but all eyes need to be fixated upon those bonus wheels.
Three or more bonus wheels landing on consecutive reels from left to right will grant you a shot at winning one of three progressive jackpots. If you’re not as lucky as the Swede, there are other prizes that are guaranteed to be won. Once the bonus has been initiated, you have 20-seconds to stop the timer. You can let it reach zero or press whenever you like.
The first wheel begins to spin. Land on a coin value to win the prize and return to the base game or land on the diamond encrusted arrow to enter the second wheel. Like the previously, the aim of the game is to stop the wheel on the arrow. Done that? Congrats, you’re now into the penultimate section of that wheel where prizes are far, far greater!
To win the all-important mega jackpot, you must land on the arrow for a final time to enter the inner wheel. ‘Rapid’ jackpot can be won in the second wheel and the ‘major’ one in the third. The Mega Fortune title can be found across the NetEnt network and can be played from as little as 25p a spin.

Smashing win! Can you imagine winning something so grand? I won £15K once (a long time ago!) and haven’t come anywhere near it since! Closest to that was £2K about a year ago. I hope to be this lucky one day.
