On July
18th when the first Treasure Nile jackpot was won we predicted that
it would soon break the online jackpot record. Just
sixteen days later and the record has not only been broken it has
been smashed. Oliver C. a software engineer has scooped a $389,843.85
win.
In an interview Oliver spoke of his plans for his new found online
fortune "I suppose I am one of the luckiest guys in the world, it's
a very good feeling! I plan on investing some of the money to give
me some security, as well as giving some to family. I will also buy
a dark blue Audi!"
It seems that finally we may have a game to rival the popularity of
Cash Splash. In less than a month we have had three $100,000+ winners
on Treasure Nile. Oliver with his massive win, Linda W. with $150,391.60
and Suzanne G. with $104,989.56. Add in a few smaller wins and the
total paid out already exceeds $600,000. Clearly a massive month for
online jackpot fans.
Where were these jackpots won? Two of the three
were hit at the Lucky Nugget and one was hit at The River Belle. Both
casinos are top rated Microgaming powered sites and both currently
offer a 100% match bonus of up to $100 free to all new players. This
means you can go for a jackpot with the casinos cash.

Launched less than a month ago the Treasure NIle online slot is
a ground breaking game. It is the first game online to have nine
lines, it is the first to have a scatter pay symbol and the first
video slot to have a wild symbol. When you consider the popularity
of this type of game in land-based casinos it is clearly a big step
towards online games catching up to land-based ones.
