Although the iGaming market is full of high volatility slots and the winnings are 100% based on luck, some games paid millions of dollars in the last decade. Most of them were paid online on low stakes and others were paid at brick-and-mortar casinos. We will add up the progressive video slots that caught the public’s attention and attracted lots of players lately. Some of them are represented by the all-mighty Mega Moolah, Arabian Nights, and Mega Fortunes. How much they paid in time and who are the luckiest players that managed to hit epic winnings is to be found in the following article.

Mega Moolah

Welcome to the jungle! Mega Moolah is an animal-themed slot created by Microgaming. Although its RTP is around 88% (a pretty low rate) players try their luck wishing to catch the jackpot. The graphics and the soundtrack are old, but the jackpot is growing and growing second after second until a lucky one hits it and becomes a millionaire. Below, here’s one story that proves small bets can move mountains.

A British soldier named J. Heywood hit the MEGA jackpot of 13.2 million back in October 2015. Little did he know that in less than 25 minutes he would manage to win this money at 26 years old. He played with a small stake of 0,25 pounds. The jackpot activated randomly, the wheel started to spin, and it stopped on the white lion paw (the Mega prize). At first, he did not believe his eyes, but once he took the prize, he was convinced that everything was real. Moreover, he offered an exclusive interview about his win publicly.

Fact: Unlike other players that won the Mega Moolah jackpot, he did not choose to stay anonymous.

Mega Fortunes

Catch 3 wheel symbols in the NetEnd slots, and activate the bonus round at Mega Fortunes. Unlike Microgaming slots, there are progressive jackpot games triggered by specific symbols – scatters. A gigantic wheel appears on the screen, and it starts to move.

To move on to bigger prizes the wheel should stop at the arrow, and lastly at the golden arrow. This one unlocks the Mega Fortune jackpot. Although you should be super lucky to trigger the last wheel spin, nothing is impossible. This is also proven by a young player who tried Mega Fortunes for the first time.

Another successful story comes from another player that bet 25 cents per spin at Mega Fortune. A Finnish punter hit an epic win of 24 million dollars at a Scandinavian online casino. He chose to remain anonymous and stated that this money will be helpful for his family and to build a business from scratch. It is said that this man was a poker fan and used to play in many tournaments before betting on slots machines.

Arabian Knights

Another game that caught everyone’s eye is Arabian Knights. Yes, the jackpot is the main attraction of it but let’s not forget about the free spins feature that comes along the way. This NetEnt slot is inspired by the beautiful tale of the 1001 Arabian Nights, Alibaba, and Aladdin’s story. This all-in-one story combo was, and it still is an instant eye-catcher. Not to mention the hefty winnings that were triggered by some lucky players. Nowadays, this game is often found in offline casinos.

If you did not know, back in 2011 a Norwegian punter age 20 won a whopping prize of 11,7 million euros. Peter played online at a reputable casino licensed in his country and triggered the jackpot in Arabian Knights. Rumor has it that he played at the smallest bet and that furthermore, he used the money to buy a house and to help out his family.

With outstanding progressive jackpots, there are lots of video slots that create millionaires along the way. Above, you saw which were the slots that managed to make history and some interesting winnings of millions. You saw that at any moment, any spin and any stake, gamblers can hit up a jackpot that can pay millions of dollars/euro.

And, if you fancy one of the slots described above and want to try them, don’t forget to do that responsibly at safe at licensed casinos. Please note that not any casino will have these video slots in their portfolio. If you are a fan of Mega Moolah, MegaBucks, or Arabian Knight, verify if these games are at your favorite online casino first.

Online casinos attract new customers through the bonuses they offer for new and existing clients. You need to realize that not all of them will suit your gambling needs or desires. Maybe you will opt for a bonus that can not be used on the live casino section or take some free spins that could not be used on your favorite slot.

Before we tell you what the best promotions are, you need to know one very important thing! Here’s a golden rule you need to know before taking a casino offer – read the terms and the conditions first and then decide if you want that offer or not.

What do you need to know about bonuses and which are the best ones?

Note that each bonus comes with wagering conditions, deadlines, and minimum/maximum bet you can use during your gambling session. Also, deposit codes may be required to activate the welcome bonus or other casino rewards. For newcomers, it is important to know that some bonuses may not be available for them, as they did not make a deposit first or they aren’t eligible for it. That’s why it is very important to be aware of the general terms and conditions first.

Registration Bonus

The registration bonus is often given in money, free spins, or money and free spins. It’s up to the casino you choose to impose deposit limits and how many spins are available for the newly registered punters. In most cases, a gambling platform will allow you to play with double money. Many registration bonuses are going to give you 100% up to “x” money. It means that once you deposit funds, you receive the same amount of money to play. To this, you can even claim some free spins that will be available for a few slots or just for a game the casino selected.

Please note that aside from the deposit registration bonus, there are also offers that won’t ask you to deposit money. Usually, those who register for the first time and verify their phone number or pass the KYC process without a problem will receive a small amount of money or free spins. Each registration bonus can be used only once, and it will follow terms and conditions.

No deposit bonus

Next in line is the no deposit bonus. Except for your registration at a new casino, some gambling platforms offer this reward once in a while. Maybe it’s your birthday, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or other special occasion and the casino wants to reward you with some free spins or money. The bonus value depends on the T&Cs of the casino you are currently playing at.

Maybe you were given 100 free spins at a single slot and the wagering conditions are much more friendly and easier to complete or maybe you received some pounds to try your luck on some games. For as long as you don’t want to risk your budget, these types of offers will be the best ones to try out. Using a no deposit bonus comes with benefits. You can win lots of money if you are lucky and discover plenty of games with great payout potential.

Deposit bonuses

Deposit bonuses are quite popular lately. People like the idea to play with more money while depositing less. There are 50%, 100%, 200%, or other bonuses given. They activate at a minimum deposit, and sometimes they need a special code, just like a welcome bonus does. Not to say that deposit bonuses are great for each casino gambler no matter if they are new or experienced. Why? They will let you play with extra money. Your budget increases its value, and you can gamble with larger stakes.

Also, you can not ask for a withdrawal if you did not complete the wagering conditions first. Usually, a bonus like that will start its turnover requirements from 20x (or more) and usually, it can be wagered at slots or other table games selected by the casino. Punters who try to ask for a withdrawal before wagering will have their bonus and winnings canceled.

Each bonus has its type of player. Although wagering conditions scare most gamblers, people will be surprised to know that with a little bit of luck and the right choice of a game, they can be completed faster. Of course, if you take a bonus it does not mean that you will always win but, with it, you can increase your winning chances and discover new games.
