Why exactly progressive networks are setting records
Network model: dozens of operators are connected to one pool - a share of each spin replenishes the total "Mega" jackpot.
Seed + accumulation: after falling out, the prize returns to the starting value (seed) and grows again.
Verifiable randomness: the trigger point determines the RNG; the largest cases are captured by press releases and/or record registries (e.g. Guinness 2015).
Frequent myths (and reality)
"Need a huge bid." In most networks, the Mega level is activated by a random event; the bet can only affect access to the bonus game or contribution to the pool - details are always in the rules of a particular game.
"Jackpots "twist" streamers/VIP." The progressive pool is common to all, and the RNG is audited by regulators/providers.
"After the record, the network does not pay for a long time." The pool simply resets to seed and grows again - the dynamics of drops depends on the volume of bets on the network.

How not to confuse the "online jackpot" with lotteries and offline
News listings often mix lotteries and ground slots with online slots. Our rating is only about online slots with progressive pools (WowPot!, Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune, etc.). For offline Megabucks/lotteries, completely different amounts and mechanics appear - we deliberately do not take them into account.
Responsible play is more important than records
Only play where it is legal for your country/state and operator.
18 +/21 + where applicable.
Set time/deposit limits, take breaks.
See jackpots as entertainment, not financial strategy.
Online payout records are the history of network mathematics: the more casinos and bets connected, the faster the pool grows and the less often, but more powerful - the Mega "shot." Since 2013, Mega Fortune has set the bar, then Mega Moolah beat it twice, and at the end of 2023 WowPot! raised it to an unattainable €38.46 million. But no matter how the headlines beckon, the only unconditional "secret" here is chance and discipline of responsibility.
