Arabian Nights jackpot
8.65 million jackpot

Helsinki gambler wins the EUR 8.65 million jackpot on the Arabian Nights mobile slot in a Finnish casino.

We do love to report about big winnings. A couple of days ago we wrote about a Donegal full-time mom who turned 20 cents into $408K jackpot win playing Adventures in Wonderland slot game, making a 2 million to 1 payout.

According to the casino gambling news, the record for Finland is held by an anonymous player from Helsinki.

The lucky Helsinki gambler turned a EUR 5 spin into an EUR 8.65 million jackpot on the Arabian Nights mobile slot at the Nordic casino site PAF. The lucky chap made a 173 million times return on his investment.

The heavy taxes in Finland will probably take away a sizable portion of his winnings, but there will surely be enough for him to enjoy a drink a day for the rest of his life even at the mega-expensive Finnish bars. If he finds one that is open at night.

The current world record for an online casino bonus is held by an unspeakably lucky Betsson gambler who got a payout of EUR 11.7 million in September 2011. According to the current Swedish gambling laws, his money is already taxed as the tax office only levies winnings that originate from non-EU servers.
