Lucky Swedish Player Lands 27 Million SEK Jackpot at Hyper Casino

Progressive jackpot slots are probably the most exciting and appealing of all the games out there thanks to their potential to really turn people’s lives around. We’ve seen it time and time again and one of the most recent winners comes from Sweden. He was spinning the reels of NetEnt’s popular Mega Fortune slot just at the right time to land the main jackpot to the tune of 27 million Krona (around €2.5 million).

First-ever NetEnt Jackpot on a Licensed Swedish Casino

New gambling laws have been in place in Sweden since the start of 2019, marking a start of a new era for the country’s iGaming market. Only a handful of casinos have applied for and received local licenses, allowing them to offer their services to Swedish players.

Hyper Casino belongs to this fairly small group of operators and can now proudly claim the accolade of being the first online casino licensed by the Swedish Gaming Authority to award a main progressive jackpot on a NetEnt game.

One Down, More to Come

With the regulated Swedish market being fairly young, there is no doubt there will be many more jackpot winners from the country in the coming months. This particular player, however, makes history as the first-ever winner, although the historical relevance may not be as important to him as the amount of SEK 27 million.

Apart from Mega Fortune, players from Sweden have access to a number of other jackpot slots, including Hall of Gods, another hugely popular game by NetEnt, as well as Microgaming’s Mega Moolah and Mega Moolah Isis. Thus, we are sure there will be no lack of Swedish jackpot winners moving forward.
