Looking Back on the Largest Jackpots of the Year

December 13, 2011

2011 has been an impressive year when it comes to the sheer amount of cash which has been paid out to lucky online slots jackpot winners. It seems that multi-million dollar jackpot payouts are being reported almost every month. Indeed, we actually saw a new Guinness World Record set just a month or so ago for the largest ever progressive jackpot payout. Let’s take a look at some of the major jackpots which have been won by lucky online slots players this year.

The most overwhelmingly impressive jackpot payout of the year was won back in September. Net Entertainment’s Mega Fortune paid out €11,700,000 to a young Norwegian player, setting a new world record.

One of the largest jackpots this year when to a lucky online slots payer at Titan Casino. The Fantastic Four online slot, which is loosely based on the Marvel comics by the same name, paid out $1,400,000 in a single progressive jackpot win. In the same week, a player at Party Casino netted a cool two million dollars from the Gold Mega slot.

Microgaming is also notable for the size of the wins its pooled progressive jackpot machines pay out. In October the Mega Moolah online slot paid out a $3,800,000 progressive jackpot.

When it comes to pending jackpots, by this we mean progressive jackpots which sit at a high figure, just waiting to be won, then we simply have to mention Beach Life. At the time of writing, the Beach Life jackpot is ready to pay the highest jackpot in its history, and is currently in excess of $5,000,000. Playtech are cashing in on this big time, as more and more players flood to their casinos to get a crack at winning this jackpot. The previous record for the Beach Life progressive jackpot is a little over $4,000,000, so we definitely have another pending record breaking jackpot in the pipeline.

Each year, jackpots pay out larger sums of cash. It is more than likely that 2012 will break the new Guinness World record, as online gaming providers compete for the top slot in payouts. It will be interesting to see what the results are at the end of 2012.
