A lucky Norwegian online casino player has picked up a mammoth win of €86,630,000 at Vegas Hero while playing the Treasure Nile progressive jackpot slot.Perhaps not the best known of the jackpot slots, partly because it doesn’t tend to create millionaires when it pays out, this new is evidence that this slot is more than capable of paying out a life changing sum of money.

What happened?

The player, who is called Ahelvik, was sitting at home listening to music and playing through some of his favourite online slots, feeling lucky, he spun at €4.50 a spin on Treasure Nile, and the progressive jackpot rolled in, leaving him a little shocked to say the least!Ahelvik immediately, as you would, told his family and friends about the win and started planning what to do with the money. His plan is to go on a nice holiday, and get himself a new car.treasurenile1

Treasure Nile

Treasure Nile is one of the least known of the Microgaming progressive jackpots, but as Ahelvik proved, can stay pay out big.An Egyptian themed slot with five-reels and nine paylines, it isn’t the most impressive game in terms of graphics and animations, but the gameplay is good fun.Seen as a great choice for beginners, although those with a fair bit of income, as each spin costs €4.50, and there’s no changing that.There’s a few features involved here, but it’s the progressive jackpot you’re after here, and unlike most games, that doesn’t trigger randomly.Instead, five King Tut symbols must appear on the 9th payline, these isn’t the easiest thing to land, but as shown by this win, it’s not impossible either.There’s a lot of progressive jackpot slots out there, and if you’re very lucky, you could be the next person to win big on one!Player Scoops Up Nearly €87k at VegasHero
