Just recently, a mobile slots player won a €7.9 million progressive jackpot. This is by far the largest mobile slots jackpot in history.
The player did not offer their full name, and only gave their initials, D.P.
All that’s known about the lucky player is that they’re female, and she celebrated with champagne in the aftermath.
Her windfall came through Mega Moolah slots, which offers a Mega jackpot that can be hit on any spin for the minimum $0.25 bet.
This is the same jackpot that saw Rawiri Pou win NZ$10,144,395 (US $7.2m) in June, and Jon Heywood win €17,879,645 last year. Heywood’s win is the largest in online slots history.
So it’s only fitting that we now have the biggest mobile slots winner come through the same jackpot.
Mobile slots have been increasing in popularity ever since they were conceived in the mid-2000s. People were hesitant to play these games through mobile phones in the beginning, namely because the technology wasn’t good, and most online casinos weren’t compatible with smartphones and tablets.
Luckily, this has changed in a big way, with pretty much all online casinos featuring an abundance of highly detailed mobile slots. For instance, Drake Casino offers dozens of mobile games that you can play through Apple iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices.
Thanks to the advances in mobile gaming, tablet and smartphone slots have become much-more popular. This popularity peaked in 2012, when the first mobile jackpot worth over $1 million was won.
The popularity obviously hasn’t waned since we now have a €7.9 million mobile jackpot to report. With the way that mobile slots are drawing more and more players, it’s a wonder if we’ll eventually see a prize that tops €17,879,645.
