What can I say, congrats to that punter, I think reading news like these is what keeps many of us still motivated trying, even without being a Guinness record that's still a massive hit.
I feel the Jackpot game a bit easier to get than other Mega Jackpot games, but my wins mostly were finished in the first tier, hahaha 🙂
I am not sure, but in Mega Fortune Dream, I used to go into the 3rd tier often when I was playing with 1~2 Euro(probably) long before. I just guess that it might be related to the bet size.
So, I assume the same rule in Mega Fortune Mega, which is original.
