A very lucky punter who hails from Belgium has become the biggest ever single spin online slot winner after wagering on Microgaming’s ‘Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah’ on Napoleon Sports & Casino and landing a jackpot of over €19.4 million on his last spin.
The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, hit the jackpot from a wager of a mere €15 and commented that the feeling at that moment was indescribable. He added that at first you can hardly believe it and he thinks it will take a long time to sink in completely.
Last week a player won a jackpot of over €2 million on Microgaming’s WowPot title.
Tim De Borle, CEO of Napoleon Sports & Casino Online, commented that last week they were already over the moon when a player won their €2 million Wowpot. He added that to have a second winner on their platform, for a world record breaking amount, is just sensational and highly exceptional and that this is a unique moment in the betting history worldwide.
De Borle also said that this is the greatest thrill in the history of Napoleon and everybody is filled with joy with this fantastic milestone.
John Coleman, CEO at Microgaming said they are absolootly delighted to see Mega Moolah make history once again with its latest record-breaking win.
Coleman also said that it is the largest jackpot payout in an online slot of all time and congratulated the player and Napoleon Sports & Casino on their second Mega jackpot win on their network in as many weeks.
The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has suspended the UK Bingo and Online Casino licenses of Nektan, the British-facing B2C arm of the gambling business that was sold by administrators in early 2020, pending a formal investigation into the Gibraltar-based business.
This week the Gambling Commission revealed that the suspension follows an ongoing Section 116 review into the operator, as they suspect Nektan (Gibraltar) Limited has breached conditions of its license, that it is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities and that the licensed activities are being or have been carried on in a manner which is inconsistent with the licensing objectives.
This has resulted in the regulator currently conducting a review into the license, which is due to be suspended until the review’s conclusion or ‘until such time as the operator can satisfy the Commission it is operating compliantly.
The UK Gambling Commission went on to say that they have made it clear to the operator that it must communicate effectively with its customers and that the suspension does not prevent it paying out winnings. He also said that the Gambling Commission will not comment any further whilst this investigation is ongoing.
The license suspension came into effect on 27th April 2021 and makes it illegal for Nektan (Gibraltar) Limited to offer gambling services via its websites which are listed on the Commission’s public register.
The original Nektan business went into administration last year and the UK B2C arm sold to Grace Media, part of the Active Win Group. Meanwhile its B2B arm was sold to Real Time Strategic Marketing Limited and re-branded as Markor Technology.
It has not been revealed whether the events that led to the license suspension occurred under the old or new ownership.
