Latest Big Winners & Other Top Stories

The biggest win in recent times occurred over at a Microgaming powered online casino called Betway Casino, but unfortunately this casino does NOT welcome players from South Africa due to local gaming laws. A lucky UK player won a world record breaking £13.2 million (approximately ZAR 64,947,582.72) while playing on a progressive jackpot slot machine called Mega Moolah.
“It’s all so surreal, and I can’t come to terms with it just yet, I just kept staring at my screen and seeing this huge number in my Betway account,” said the lucky winner, 26-year-old Lance Corporal Jonathon Heywood. We managed to obtain these words from a recent Microgaming press release. He plans to spend his money on the best medical treatment for his sick father, as well as on a new yellow Bentley Continental GT and a Mediterranean cruise for him and his family.
Jonathon won just after midnight (GMT) on Wednesday 7th October, 2015. The progressive jackpot bonus round on this African Wildlife themed slot randomly triggered and from there he went on to win the largest of the four progressive jackpots. “We are delighted for Jonathon and having met him the day after his win we can honestly say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer young man. We hope he really enjoys the World Record win,” said a spokesperson for the casino, Alan Alger.
We also recently found out about a winner who netted a total of $108,477 from two different online slot machines. Howard R. from Denver, Colorado, won a total of $76,636 (approx. ZAR 1,002,011.92) from a Betsoft Gaming slot machine called Slots Angels: Born to Spin. This lucky winner was playing at a Realtime Gaming powered casino called Bovada Casino. He also won a further $31,841 from a Realtime Gaming slot machine called Desert Kingdom.
There was also Charles M. who won $207,619 (approx. ZAR 2,714,529.30) while playing at Slotland online casino on a slot machine called Grand Fortune. This lucky winner happened to win during this casino’s 17th birthday celebrations and he also plans to treat himself to a new car. “I love cars so that will definitely be one or two of my first purchases,” said the winner. He continued, “My teenage son will love that too because I'll hand down my old car to him.”
He finished by saying, “We're looking forward to a family vacation. I have always wanted to see the Great Wall of China. Right now we're all voting for different places so we'll take our time deciding.” You too can play for some big jackpots right now at any of our featured RTG/Playtech powered casinos.
