WowPot Mega Jackpot Well Overdue to Hit

This incredible progressive jackpot has been paid out five times to date, and was expected to pay out on 12th December 2022, according to previous traits.

The previous highest payout from a WowPot Mega Jackpot was £15.2 million on 13th April 2021.

These games utilise a progressive link jackpot, whereby they all pay into the same jackpot pool. Games inside the WowPot network include the likes of Queen of Alexandria, African Legends, Sisters of Oz, Wheel of Wishes and Book of Atem.

In the last 24 hours, the prize pot has increased by just under £83,000, equivalent to 0.42% of the overall total.

Huge Progressive Jackpot Slot Winners

The lucky winner will be the recipient of one of the largest progressive jackpot payouts ever. The prize pot would be more than the €19.4 million (£16.1 million) won in 2021 by a Belgian who was playing Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah - another Microgaming progressive jackpot.

The WowPot Jackpot would also eclipse the $21 million (£17.4 million) won by Elmer Sherwin from Las Vegas’ Mirage Casino in 2005 - the second time he scooped the top prize from that casino.

The largest progressive jackpot win came in 2003, when one player won $37.1 million (£30.7 million) on a Megabucks slot while playing at the Excalibur Casino.

There’s every chance for the next player of a WowPot Jackpot slot to enter the history books, as the prize pot is there to be won at any time.
