Guinness World Records this week formally recognized the €11.74 million euro prize struck on the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot slot in September as the largest ever online slots jackpot.

Net Entertainment Enters Record Books

Readers may recall our report in September when a lucky Norwegian online slots player hit the Net Entertainment-powered Mega Fortune jackpot on Saturday while playing at online casino Bettson.com. The slot hit €7.5 million in August, and attracted a lot of attention as it soared rapidly toward its record-breaking total.

This week Net Entertainment and Betsson were named as co-owners of the record payout, which occurred on September 24 and will appear in the next hard copy edition of the popular Guinness Book of Records.

Amazingly, this wasn't the only online gambling world record to enter the books these past few days. Earlier in the week Guinness confirmed the world record for largest ever online poker tournament, after 200,000 players took part in a PokerStars-organized event.

More jackpot records on the way?

With dozens of separate progressive jackpot slots, there are plenty more prize-winning opportunities for customers of Net Entertainment casinos. Betsson is a great place to find these slots, as are Mr Green and Unibet.

The Mega Fortune jackpot is now running at close to €4.5 million euros, while the Hall of Gods mega jackpot exceeds €5 million and Arabian Nights also tops well above €1 million. Plenty of other progressives offer smaller prizes for smaller outlays.

Playtech casinos are also offering some great jackpots, with Beach Life running at more than $5 million and plenty more offering in excess of $1 million.
