The casino operator Betway has paid out more money than ever to a slot player in the UK, and they couldn't be happier about the win.
The slot Mega Moolah from Microgaming was the life changing game that paid out a massive £13,213,838.68 to a single player. This is the biggest ever win on a just one spin in Britain and it went to a 26 year old from England.
The man himself is Jon Heywood, a veteran of the Afghanistan war who claimed this sum with a 25p bet. This is already a heart-warming story but it gets better, as the winner has decided to spend his money on an organ transplant for his father. He said that he'd gladly trade all of the money to ensure that his father lives a full and long life with the best medical treatment.
For a man so close to his family he did need to keep the win a secret for half a week while the funds cleared. Unlike many big winners his winning session came just after an advert on TV gave him a prompt to sign up late at night.
A Betway spokesperson said that the company was pleased that the win had went to such a nice person and that they hoped it would make a difference to his father's condition. They also pointed out that the game had done what it said on the tin, by turning the smallest stake into Mega Moolah for this lucky player.
This tale has every ingredient necessary to make any reader smile and all of the aspect of this winner's personality make him an easy person to be pleased for. The progressive slot jackpot for this game would make any player's life a whole lot more interesting and even the non-progressive prizes could make a huge win.
This 25 line slot was played with the absolute minimum by the player and still paid out a record breaking amount. This jungle themed slot will surely see an increase in players after this win, as many try to replicate Heywood's luck.
There are four guaranteed progressive jackpots on this game and this effectively quadruples a player's chance of taking one home. For every bet that is placed by players a small percentage is added into the jackpot funds which can be claimed randomly at any time.
The progressive jackpot is not dependant on how much is staked, so it's a lucrative way to play for any gamer. In this way you can keep the bets low and still scoop up the same amount of winnings if you strike it big. This gives you more chances at the win without breaking the bank, and this is exactly how Heywood managed to bring in his win.
This game is a great slot and it's really delivered what it promised in terms of a massive win, and with such a deserving winner every player can feel warm and fuzzy about it.
