Games Global’s highly popular progressive jackpot WowPot! continues to bestow substantial winnings upon fortunate players, and its most recent payout has set a new record. On December 20, 2023, a staggering $41 million was won.

This record-breaking jackpot was achieved on the renowned Wheel of Wishes, surpassing the previous record of €19.4 million (US$21.06 million), secured on the company’s well-known progressive jackpot, Mega Moolah.

Notably, before the Mega Moolah triumph, the record was established in 2021 when a player claimed nearly $20 million while playing the esteemed game Book of Atem WowPot! developed by ALL FOR ONE Studios.

Wheel of Wishes, introduced to the market in early 2020, has seen its jackpot’s cumulative value exceed an impressive €65 million (US$70 million) over time.

Built by Alchemy Gaming, a studio under the Games Global umbrella, this game swiftly garnered immense popularity, captivating both players and operators within the expansive network of the company’s partners.

The introduction of this new progressive jackpot was warmly embraced by the gaming community.A considerable portion of its success can be attributed to its initial seed of €2 million (US$2.17 million).

Over the course of three years, 5.3 million players reaped rewards from this jackpot, accumulating a total win surpassing €225 million (US$244 million). This translates to an average of one player securing the prize every 15 seconds in the past year.

Accessible through interconnected games and jackpot tiers, this jackpot encompasses titles such as the acclaimed Ancient Fortunes. The list also includes Poseidon WowPot! Megaways by Triple Edge Studios, 9 Blazing Diamonds WowPot! from SpinPlay Games and Queen of Alexandria WowPot! developed by Neon Valley Studios.

Games Global stands as a renowned player in the realm of jackpots, boasting chart-topping titles like Mega Moolah, Maple Moolah and the recent sensation, King Millions. This places the company at the forefront of the progressive jackpot games industry.

Highlighting the importance of this accomplishment, Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, emphasized that it marked a monumental moment for both Games Global and the entire iGaming industry.

Booth mentioned the team couldn’t be prouder to be home to the largest online slot jackpot win. Congratulations were extended to the winner of the celebration. Now that it has been won, the task is to reset it and aim for another record-breaking jackpot in the process.

Rory Harpur, Head of Studio at Alchemy Gaming, mentioned that when they introduced Wheel of Wishes back in 2020, little did they know the incredible impact its central progressive jackpot would have.

This latest WowPot! win is not only the first top-tier jackpot to strike on the game but also the largest online slot jackpot win. It’s a truly historic day for the Alchemy team, their partners at Games Global and the broader industry.
