The $50 million world record was reached by a giant $190,553.47 win on Treasure Nile at 7 Sultans Online Casino by Theresa W. - the one thousandth, eight hundred and fifty-second jackpot winner!
"Cash Splash, Fruit Fiesta, WowPot, LotsaLoot, SuperJax and our latest 'mega' progressive 'Treasure Nile' have developed into real brands that players search for in an online casino. Their success is phenomenal, with total jackpot payouts dwarfing anything comparable on the Internet. Players want to win big and these progressives are one of the reasons why Microgaming-powered casinos are the most fun on the Internet" commented Julian Perry of Microgaming.
