The historical moment was commented by the head of Microgaming Roger Raatveger:

'We are crazily happy for Heywood as his win is our win as well. Our games gave away huge jackpots earlier, but this one is different. We will soon receive the Guinness Record Book certificate to our office which will show the high status of our company'.

'We are glad this jackpot was won in our casino. Admittance of the integrity of the win ways by the independent commission tells that we are one of the best in online gambling market at the moment,' - says Betway press-secretary Alan Arger.
