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.

This is well more than double the average hit for Beach Life and its now ripe for to produce an over-night millionaire.Consequently, more and more players are getting in on the action at Playtech powered casinos in the hope that they may just be the one to strike it rich. All you need to do is place a 20-line bet on the five-reel game and enjoy the sunny entertainment. About two years ago, the jackpot was hit at just above $4 million and it has the reputation of instantly transforming lives.Another one for the record books is Net Entertainment's Mega Fortune progressive jackpot. It was recently revealed that in September, a €11.7 prize was paid out and it has now been officially recognised by the Guidness World Records as the largest online slot jackpot ever. The incredible sum of money was won by a young 20 year old player from Norway while playing at Betsson.com.As we look ahead, the year 2012 looks to be just as promising and, who knows, perhaps Beach Life may just continue on to break all previous history records.

We've brought you news of lucky online casino players over the years, but this story is just ridiculous: a very lucky British woman won 10,000 pound-plus prizes not once but twice, while playing online video slots through All Slots Casino.Dream-LikeSharon S began her streak at around 3 AM on December 3, when she used a special bonus to play Mermaids Millions at All Slots Mobile, and subsequently won a huge GBP 10,160 prize. She went to sleep after the win, and after waking up later the same day, broke through again for a GBP 10,125 on the Age of Discovery slot, which she accessed through All Slots online casino.Understandably, Sharon and her partner woke up the next morning wondering if the first 10,000 pound was a dream, but a quick check of her casino account showed 10,160 big ones sitting in her balance.Mobile and Online CombinedThe Jackpot Factory group of Microgaming casinos, of which All Slots is a member, celebrated Sharon's victory as an example of its diverse product range. Jackpot Factory pointed out that not all online casinos also have a mobile casino supporting nearly every device in the world.The beauty of All Slots Casino is that customers of the online casino need not open a new account to access games through their mobile smartphone. Players can use both the online and mobile gaming platforms through the one login and account - and if they're lucky like Sharon, they'll win using both.
