NetEnt is back in the headlines with news of another jackpot win, this one on its Mega Fortune Touch, mobile video slot.
The win makes history as the biggest jackpot award via mobile and it was a 30-year-old Swede who hit the Euro 8.6 million jackpot playing a Euro 1.50 bet at ComeOn Casino’s mobile website.
The news comes hot on the heels of a Euro 4.5 million jackpot which fell on Mega Fortune Dreams with Unibet late in November (see previous report).
Identified only as Alexander from Stockholm, the newly-minted multimillionaire said: “I was totally speechless and couldn’t believe what was happening. It was late and my wife had already gone to bed, but I had to wake her up and celebrate.
“I’m going to lay low to begin with, but I’ll make sure my mortgage is paid and treat myself to some exciting holidays. It will probably be difficult to avoid buying a new car!”
“NetEnt’s games excite, entertain and reward our players and it’s fantastic to break another record with this jackpot won via mobile,” added Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer of NetEnt. “Our games have paid out over €13m in jackpots in just over a week – the perfect early Christmas present.”
