The Biggest Slots Jackpots

One of the reasons why slots are such a popular casino game around the world is the life changing jackpots that can be won. The invention of progressive slots and in turn the idea of linking the games to multiple casinos has led to some staggering jackpots. The current world record is just under $40,000,000 and was won in Las Vegas on the popular Mega Bucks game.

Online the jackpots have not yet reached such heights but there have still been quite a few million dollar plus wins. The highest win was at the time of writing just over $6,300,000. Below we list some of the biggest jackpots won by lucky players as well as the games they were playing.

Offline

Las Vegas has been the place to win the biggest jackpots with over 20 wins that were $10,000,000 or above. Most of the big wins occurred on IGT's games like Mega Bucks and Wheel of Fortune. Interestingly all of the jackpots won offline are paid out in installments. This means you get an instant payment and then the rest of the jackpot is paid out over a set number of years.

1. $39,710,826.36 won on Mega Bucks ($1) - World Record
2. $18,799,414.61 won on Mega Bucks Video Slots (1c to $5)
3. $13,789,894.28 won on Jeopardy! (25c)
4. $12,014,971.61 won on Mega Bucks ($1)
5. $11,203,183.01 won on Wheel of Fortune ($1)

Some Mega Jackpot games are now found online although the jackpots are different from their land-based friends. The jackpots start at £1,500,000.

Online

The big names in online jackpots are Mega Moola, Beach Life, Millionaires Club and Gold Rally. All of these games have paid out single jackpots in excess of $2,000,000. Mega Moola holds the online record with a $6,000,000+ pay out in 2009. Unlike the offline jackpots all of the online progressive wins are paid in one lump sum. This means if you win online you are an instant multi-millionaire.
