Lucky Swedish Player Nets EUR 3M Jackpot on Mega Fortune Progressive Slot.

NetEnt, the leading digital entertainment company, has paid out a progressive jackpot of almost €3 million to a lucky online slots player.

The jackpot fell to a Casumo player, playing the popular Mega Fortune slot, and totalled a remarkable €2,971,469.49.

David, from Sweden, said he and his partner took turns to spin the reels ahead of the big win. He said: "The Bonus Reel was spinning, and suddenly saw a lot of numbers flashing up. I felt a shiver down my spine and just felt that something incredible was happening!"

The overnight millionaire is the latest to enjoy a big Net Entertainment's jackpot. In May, a lucky Londoner won £2.9m playing the Mega Fortune Dreams slot, having bet just £20.

Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at NetEnt, said: "We are always delighted to see users win big on our slots, and we'd like to extend our congratulations to this latest winner.

"NetEnt slots are designed to deliver market-leading entertainment to all those who play, and it is fantastic to see our players win life-changing sums of money doing what they love."
