Earlier this week a lucky punter wagering on Microgaming’s Treasure Nile video slot game managed to win the game’s progressive jackpot by landing 5 King Tut symbols on the ninth pay line of the game which resulted in the player taking home a whopping $124,506.
This current jackpot win is the 111th time that the jackpot has been won on this popular video slot game.
Treasure Nile pays out an amount of $95,935 on average and is hit approximately every two and a half weeks.
The largest payout for the Treasure Nile video slot game occurred on 23rd December, 2012 when the jackpot was hit for an amount of $360,506. The video slot has been one of Microgaming’s more popular video slot games, as can be seen from the frequency of the jackpot wins.
Treasure Nile Slot is a five reel and 9 pay line historical Egyptian themed progressive slot game that offers colorful and detailed slots symbols and a great graphic quality. Symbols on the reels of Treasure Nile include a view of the Giza pyramids, hieroglyphics and a scarab beetle.
Only one coin denomination, namely 0.50, is available for wagering in this slot game with the maximum number of coins per bet being 9 and the betting range in terms of cash wagers ranging from 0.50 to 4.50.
The Wild symbol is the pyramids at sunset which can replace any other symbol with the exception of the scatter to make up winning combinations. The Wild symbol may not, however, play a part in creating a progressive jackpot win.
The King Tut symbol is another important symbol in Treasure Nile with five of these symbols appearing on the 9th pay line awarding the massive progressive jackpot if players have bet the maximum number of coins. This is obviously what this week’s lucky punter managed to do.
