Mega Million Slot Machine B Radical
Several years ago, I was in Las Vegas with my wife, and her aunt and uncle. We were playing video poker and her aunt and uncle were playing the Mega-Millions slot machines that were with-in eyesight of us. All of a sudden, I see her Uncle John fall off the back of his chair. I went running over to see if he was alright, but he was already up yelling at the screen by the time I got there. I look on the screen and the first reel has the Mega-Millions symbol on the center pay line, the second reel has the Mega-Millions symbol on the center pay line, and on the third reel the Mega-Millions symbol has stopped right above the center pay line. Apparently, John got so excited and thought he won that he fell off the back of his chair. I don’t remember what the jackpot was, but it was well over a million dollars. That my friend is known as a “near miss” on a slot machine.
Radica Mega Million Slot Machine/Bank.with realistic jackpot sounds & flashing lights. Great fun for anyone. Ideal for any collector. Scientific Games later acquired the slot machine maker Bally Technologies, in November 2014, for $3.3 billion plus $1.8 billion in assumed debt. In October 2013, the company bought WMS Industries, the third largest manufacturer of slot machines, for $1.5 billion. In 2016, the company acquired DEQ Systems, a Canadian table-game maker.
Researchers have done a lot of testing on the reactions people have when they receive a near miss. They’ve studied the biological reactions of the brain and the psychological effects of the player. Researchers have discovered that when a near miss occurs the brain’s reaction is similar to actually winning the jackpot. The brain releases adrenaline and endorphins just as if a person really won.
Once the realization that it really wasn’t a win sinks in, the player becomes more determined and truly believes they will soon hit the jackpot. John was no exception. He played the Mega-Millions for the rest of the trip and of course he didn’t win the jackpot. This occurs all the time and it is the natural reaction to think that you were so close that the machine has to hit soon. Unfortunately, the machines don’t work like that.
The slot machines that are programmed by a random number generator (RNG), which I’ve talked about before, produce a sequential code as soon as the spin button is pushed. That code represents a specific result on the screen. The code for the jackpot and the code for the near miss that was received could be thousands of numbers away. The near miss code is totally different than the jackpot code, and you are no more likely to hit the jackpot before or after you receive a near miss.
Casinos are well aware of these studies and the effects near misses have on players. They have been caught trying to take advantage of them in the past. In the 1980’s, several slot manufacturers were caught programming near misses to occur at a greater rate than they should occur naturally. Once word of what they were doing was delivered to the public of course everyone was outraged. Eventually the major gambling jurisdictions made it illegal to program near misses at a higher rate. They must occur randomly and not be programmed.
The fact remains that whether it is a slot machine or a video poker machine, a player who receives a near miss biochemically goes through this process. Even if you know what is going on it can be tough to convince yourself that the near miss does not mean the jackpot is close.
As slot players, the important thing to learn is DO NOT play a slot machine any longer than you intended because you received a near miss. Set your bankroll before you begin play and stick to it regardless of whether or not you receive a near miss. Casinos rely on near misses to keep players playing, but it is your job to understand what is going on and not allow it to affect you negatively.
I’m glad to announce that I have finally been able to confirm that a middle aged Finnish man has just won €17,861,813.00 with Mega Fortune slot at PAF online casino. That’s almost €18 million, which to regular folks like me and probably you is an awful lot of money. He hit the jackpot yesterday, on Sunday, you think he showed up to work today? I know I wouldn’t have!
As you can see the Mega Fortune Jackpot was triggered by a measly €0.25 bet, that’s quite a return on investment.
That means this Mega Fortune jackpot win is the new world record for online slots winnings. Take that Betsson! – the now previous owner of the world record with €11.7 million, which too was won on Mega Fortune. That means Mega Fortune wins now hold the top 2 places of biggest slots wins. The third place now belongs to Arabian Nights slot machine, which too was won at PAF less than 2 months ago on November 23rd 2012 by a Finn. By the looks of it, one could say that if you wanted to become a big time millionaire, you either have to play Mega Fortune slot machine, or play progressive slots at PAF, do them both and you could win nearly €18 million. Apparently being a Finnish helps too.
Congratulations PAF and of course the incredibly lucky man from Finland! or should I say Winland
I don’t know why PAF hasn’t issued a press release yet, but I have emailed PAF and I will do my best to keep you updated on this breaking news.
UPDATE: I just got an e-mail response with a press release from the Head of Press at PAF:
New world record! Player wins nearly 18 million euros in online
slots game
Mega Millions Slot Machine
A new world record for online slots winnings was set on Sunday, 20 January, when a middle-aged Finnish player won 17.8 million euros while playing on Paf.com, the site of an Åland-based gaming company.
The former world record in online slots winnings can be found in the Guinness Book of World Records, and was a little over 11.7 million euros. In other words, the old record has now been surpassed by a staggering six million euros in one blow.
This win is completely off the charts for these kinds of games. The whole gaming world has been holding its breath during this fall and winter, while the jackpot has just kept on growing. Since this jackpot was pooled, which means that it is shared by several gaming companies, we are naturally very happy about the fact that the jackpot was again won by one of our customers. Paf players seem to have an incredibly good flow at the moment, says Anders Sims, Head of Press and PR at Paf.
Many big winners
During the last year, several big jackpots have been won at Paf.com. In 2012, one player cashed out a jackpot worth 6.9 million euros, and another took home 8.6 million euros.
This win is the crowning glory of online slots game jackpots, and the prize sum of 17.8 million euros will be paid out tax-free into the player’s account, Anders Sims says.
Keeping in contact with the winners
Every time a Paf customer wins a large amount of money, the gaming company does its best to support the player in their new life situation.
Since we want the prize money to be a source of joy for the winner, we strongly recommend that winners seek economic counseling and that they remain anonymous. We also recommend that big winners take a break from playing, says Paf CEO Anders Ingves.

We want our customers to feel that they really are among friends with us, and to this end we are personally in contact with big winners as long as we are needed, says Robert Söderdahl, Paf’s Country Manager in Finland.
Second world record for gaming systems supplier
NetEntertainment, a gaming systems supplier for Paf and several other companies, are also happy about the new world record.
This is our second world record jackpot in online gaming. The large liquidity within the slots with progressive jackpots enables the rapid growth of these jackpots, which is great news for the operators. We want to congratulate the winner of this record jackpot and hope to turn many more players into millionaires in the future, says Per Eriksson, CEO at NetEntertainment.
