The pay-out, which took place on Saturday, June 27, smashed the operator’s previous jackpot record of almost SEK2.5m (€238,500), which was won only a week before by another player in Stockholm when the game’s progressive Mega Jackpot landed.

Andy Whitworth, CCO at NetEnt, said: “Our global jackpot games are continuing to break records across the globe and we’re proud to be able to bring such monumental wins to players through Mega Fortune. We hope to continue raising the bar with even bigger jackpots in future.”

Niklas Örtbrant, head of online casino at Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, said: “To break records twice in two weeks with such a significant jump from the second to first highest win is incredible and we can’t wait to see what the jackpot climbs to next time. We wish all the best to the lucky player and hope they enjoy this life-changing sum.”
