Mega Millions Jackpot – Key Facts

What Is the Mega Millions Jackpot at Holland Casino?

The Mega Millions Jackpot is a progressive linked jackpot system operated exclusively by Holland Casino across its 14 physical locations. Introduced in April 2015, the jackpot is connected across 120 slot machines in all venues, meaning every bet placed on any Mega Millions machine anywhere in the Netherlands contributes to the growing prize pool.

The jackpot always starts at a guaranteed minimum of €1,000,000 and climbs from there before it is won. In 2025, a total of eight jackpots above €1 million were paid out, and jackpots fell three times in December 2025 alone — twice in Valkenburg. In January 2026, the first Mega Jackpot of the year fell in Holland Casino Breda, paying out €1,170,350.

The jackpot history goes further back: Holland Casino introduced its national linked slot jackpot system in 1991, meaning the first jackpot ever fell on December 7, 1991 with a payout of €317,646.

The 5 Jackpot Tiers Explained

The Mega Millions system features five separate prize tiers, divided into two national jackpots (available in all 14 locations) and three local jackpots (specific to individual venues):

The two national jackpots — the Mega Jackpot and the Grand Jackpot — reset to their starting amounts immediately after being won and begin growing again right away from bets placed at all 120 linked machines.

How Does the Mega Millions Jackpot Work?

The Mega Millions slot machines are classic-style fruit machine games. With a minimum bet of €1 per spin, any player at any of the 120 Mega Millions machines in any Holland Casino can win the national jackpot at any moment.

Approximately 2% of every bet is added to the combined jackpot pool, feeding all five jackpot tiers simultaneously. The total RTP of the games is approximately 90%, giving a house edge of around 10% including the jackpot contribution.

Higher bets give you more frequent bonus games, which increases your chances of entering the jackpot selection round. However, the jackpot outcome is predetermined — the final choice shown on screen creates the illusion of player agency, but the result is already determined by the system before it appears.

Tip: Always use your Holland Casino Favorites Card when playing. Every bet earns points with real monetary value, regardless of whether you win the jackpot.
