Absolootly Massive! Microgaming’s Mega Moolah Hit for a Record-breaking €19.4 Million
Microgaming’s iconic Mega Moolah progressive jackpot has set a new payout record with an incredible €19,430,723.60 win on Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah.
Struck by a player in Belgium at Napoleon Sports & Casino on 27 April 2021, the eight-figure sum marks the largest ever jackpot win on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah, which holds the record for the world’s largest payout in an online slot machine – a record which it has now beaten for a second time with this latest win.
The €19.4 million win comes hot on the heels of two top-tier jackpots triggered on Microgaming’s WowPot jackpot, which paid out a huge €17,529,047.11 and €2,025,388.75 on 14 April and 19 April respectively. As with all wins on Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network, the winner will receive their prize as a lump sum.
Developed exclusively for Microgaming by Triple Edge Studios, Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah takes players down the rabbit hole in search of gold coins and big wins, serving up a magical gameplay experience infused with vibrant artwork and wonderful win potential.
Launched in May 2020, this whimsical progressive jackpot slot is just one in a series of new titles to feature the iconic Mega Moolah. The game has now conjured up more than 500,000 wins and over €46 million in prizes across all jackpot tiers.
Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network remains an industry stalwart, having paid out more than €1.3 billion across all jackpots, tiers and games to date.
“We’re absolootly delighted to see Mega Moolah make history once again with its latest record-breaking win, and what an incredible win it is – €19.4 million! That’s the largest jackpot payout in an online slot of all time. Congrats to the player, and well done to Napoleon Sports & Casino on their second Mega jackpot win on our network in as many weeks,” John Coleman, CEO of Microgaming, said.
“This is a historic day for Napoleon Sports & Casino. We are completely over the moon. The winner of the Mega Moolah jackpot read about our player winning €2 million+ with the WowPot and pursued his own dreams and luck on the other Microgaming jackpot-giant Mega Moolah. It almost feels like our site has become ‘the home of the jackpot’. This record breaking jackpot is the absolute highlight of the amazing partnership we have with Microgaming,” Tim De Borle, CEO of Napoleon Sports & Casino, said.

North Star Network are delighted to announce the acquisition of umdoisesportes.com.br, which becomes the latest addition to NSN’s global sports media portfolio.
Born from the GRPCOM merger of the editorial teams of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020, Um Dois Esportes provides in-depth sports coverage and analysis for the Brazilian state of Paraná and beyond.
North Star Network co-founder Julien Josset said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.”
“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.” NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.
The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.
NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.
“We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions,” said GRPCOM Director Rafael Mello. “We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.”
“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”
