Lady luck and all her sisters showed up for a fortunate UK player on April 14 when the lucky individual won the first-ever WowPot Mega progressive prize. This sets a new record for Microgaming’s new WowPot series of progressive slots with a prize payout of just over $15 million.
This is the third WowPot jackpot prize won since the new range of progressive slots was launched. This latest win is particularly exciting because the player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, managed this gargantuan win with a paltry bet amount of $0.80 while playing the Book of Atem slot. They will be able to spend their winnings freely as the prize will be paid out as a lump sum.
A look at WowPot
WowPot is made up of a network of progressive slot games that works by taking a percentage of players’ bets on any game in the WowPot network and placing it into the prize pot.
Since its February 2021 launch, the WowPot network has flourished and now includes six video slot titles, namely Wheel of Wishes by Alchemy Gaming, Book of Atem, African Legends, Sisters of Oz, Queen of Alexandria, and Sherlock & Moriarty. Players can expect the arrival of new titles soon.
Going Mega
WowPot has only paid out two major progressive jackpot prizes to date, so the Mega prize win is a momentous occasion in the jackpot’s history.
The major jackpot winners played Sisters of Oz and Book of Atem to claim their prizes. Book of Atem can now claim the honour of awarding the first Mega prize and it will be interesting to see which game pays out the next one.
