Wednesday 22nd July 2009 Online Casino Winners Pocket £750,000
Online sportsbook WilliamHill.com has revealed that punters have won an amazing £750,000 over the past 30 days playing progressive jackpot games at its Vegas.WilliamHill.com online casino sub-site.
The winners took home bonanzas ranging from £20,000 to £188,000 while one lucky player known only as ‘Joe’ won over £260,000 from two different games, Gold Rush Showdown and Alice's Wonderland, in the space of a fortnight.
“Vegas.WilliamHill.com paid out approximately half a million pounds on progressive jackpot games in the first half of the year so paying out over £750,000 within one month was way above everyone’s expectations,” said Lili Huang, spokesperson for WilliamHill.com.
“However, it proves how popular these types of games have become.”
WilliamHill.com revealed that the progressive jackpot games at Vegas.WilliamHill.com have become increasingly popular with ‘thrill-seeking gamers’ since their launch last year due to the life-changing prize pools they build up in a very short period of time. The firm revealed that some of its most-played games, such as Pharaoh’s Treasure and Gold Rush Showdown, the prize can rise to over £100,000 after just a few days.
Vegas.WilliamHill.com revealed that the progressive jackpot for its Pharaoh’s Treasure game currently stands at £90,000 while punters can walk away with £41,000 courtesy of Alice’s Wonderland. Another popular game, Casino Poker, now has a jackpot of £169,000 while the prize at Gin Joint Jackpot is standing at £30,000.
The online casino revealed that of those winning a share of the £750,000 payout, ‘Mark’ took home the largest single share of £188,005 on June 22 playing Pharaoh's Treasure. Other notable wins included ‘Tracy’ with £183,685 on July 6 courtesy of Go For Gold while ‘Anthony’ walked away richer to the tune of £28,749 on July 5 thanks to Alice's Wonderland.
