Treasure Nile Sets New Online Jackpot Record

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.
