NetEnt jackpots paid out 78.3 Million Euro last year alone

Thursday, January 18, 2018

NetEnt, one of the leading online gaming software developers, announced to have paid out a total of 78.3 Million Euro across their 321 jackpots worldwide in 2017. A majority of this sum was won at
  progressive jackpot slots such as Mega Fortune, Mega Fortune Dreams, Arabian Nights and Hall of Gods.

NetEnts progressive jackpot games have been unrivaled in the gambling industry to date and belong to the casino’s best selling points when talking to customers. Since jackpots on these slots are shared across several operators, the potential winnings often raise to seven six or seven figures, making it very attractive to gamblers across the globe.

Just in December of last year, the two players cashed in big on Mega Fortune Dreams and won an unbelievable 3.3 respectively 3.5 Million Euro. But it’s not just the amount that takes your breath away but also how they did it. Both players reported having played slot games on their mobile phones. It’s only one more sign that online casinos are finally becoming a mobile-only experience as players enjoy the on-the-go feeling. If you’ve ever wondered which is the best mobile casino to play at, head over to www.smartphonecasinos.co.uk to find a comprehensive list of all sites along with independent reviews.

Mega Fortune Dreams was voted the most popular NetEnt Game in 2017, and the largest total jackpot of 30.4 Million Euro measured across 12 months. However, other gaming companies are not far behind so definitely check out Microgaming’s Mega Moolah while you’re at it.

Record Jackpots

All favorite games aside, the title for the largest single jackpot in 2017 goes to Hall of Gods. One lucky winner from the UK won a staggering 7.5 Million Euro last July when playing the online slot on a hot Summer day. Henrik Fagerlund, a product manager at NetEnt, is happy to see the traction of their games:

“Our games are designed to deliver a true gaming experience along with the thrill that YOU could be the next multi-millionaire. Paying out over 78 Million Euro to dedicated players and fans of our games makes us incredibly proud. We are looking forward to an even better year in 2018. Who knows, maybe we’ll crack the 100 million mark.”

Massive NetEnt payouts are no fluke

Critics have said that the huge win on Hall of Gods was just a fluke that won’t be repeated anytime soon. However, looking at the historical data, it’s clear that NetEnt games have always been at the forefront of astronomical payouts. Four years ago, a player unlocked the jackpot at Mega Fortune and cashed in 17.9 Million Euro, and only one year later 8.6 Million Euro were claimed on the same slot game.
