Paf defends its pokie world record against Betway

Pokie World Record Pay Out

You might have seen the news online or here at newpokies.com about the assumed new world record in the highest paying pokie win on a single spin. It was previously Paf that had that the biggest jackpt won with €17,861,813 (£15,143,600, $22,974,400) which is also confirmed with guinnessworldrecords. Now when BetWay claimed that title it might have been a bit misleading, yes the Jackpot was worth €17,879,645.12 which is €17 832,12 which clearly is higher, but the trick with this is that they have converted the winning amount that was in GBP since the player played from UK at todays exchange rate to Euros, which made the sneak past the record made by Paf.

If comparing the amount in pounds at the time the Paf jackpot was made the numbers looks like this: £15,143,600 record at Paf (confirmed by Guiness World Records) vs £13 213 838 record at Betway (As stated on their site and can be seen below)

Anyhow – we at Newpokies.com dont think they players care that much about that, no matter on how you look at it, it is still two very impressive progressive pokie wins that they have experienced and that very few players will experience. So congratualations to both of the players and we will let Paf and BetWay argue who the “real” world record holder is.
