Days After Launch We Have a Winner on Treasure Nile

Only a few days ago we reviewed the new progressive game Treasure Nile. With a starting jackpot of $40,000 it was clear to us that we would be seeing some really big winners soon. Today it was announced that the first winner, Suzanne G has picked up a $105,248.06 jackpot.

The game itself is the first addition to the Microgaming progressive range for almost a year. It was well worth the wait however as Treasure Nile sets a new record base level prize for Microgaming and is also the first true progressive video slot. It feature a wild and a scatter symbol which are also online firsts.

Having only gambled online seven times, Suzanne was playing at the Lucky Nugget when she lined up the five golden masks on the ninth pay line. By playing the maximum bet of $4.50 per spin she made sure that if the combination was to come in that the jackpot would be hers.

"I was ECSTATIC! I jumped up and down and started running and screaming. I told my family and all my friends. I really enjoy Treasure Nile as there are so many different lines to play on. This is the first time I won and only about the seventh time I have ever played online and I plan on playing a lot more."

With all 70 of the participating casinos now having the game we predict that Treasure Nile will soon break the online jackpot record which currently stands at $126,346.20 won on Cash Splash. The first Treasure Nile jackpot was just a shade over $20,000 short of breaking this record first time out.

Update : Just five days after writing this article the second winner, Linda W. managed to break the record with a win of $150,391.60.
