Incredibly, the new multimillionaire from Sweden won their huge jackpot with a stake of just £1 on Sunday 11 January. Aside from the fact that the winner was playing using their tablet, there is not much else to share as they requested to remain anonymous. Any spending of winnings will be left to your imagination.

A UK manager of LeoVegas Casino named Shenaly Amin was eager to point out that the £4.4 million jackpot was the largest mobile casino win history. He was also please that players would now see “the great winning potential at Leo Vegas.”

Mega Fortune is video slot with a three-tier progressive jackpot that increases in value. This is not the first time that Mega Fortune has made headlines for giving away millions in prize money at LeoVegas. In September 2014, there was a player named Anton who earned an enviable £2.2 million.

What makes the win even more interesting is that Mega Fortune is already the holder of the Guinness World Record for the largest-ever win on an online slot, following a colossal win of €17.8 million in January 2013. Mega Fortune is now a record-setter for yielding the largest-ever mobile slot win.

Simon Harmon, chief product officer with NetEnt, explained that the latest win would further highlight “the huge profit potential of our pooled jackpot portfolio.” NetEnt has a number of other online slots and casino games that feature lucrative progressive jackpots.
