William Hill Casino Pays Out Huge Jackpot

One player on William Hill Casino ‘Vegas’ site has won a huge jackpot in the last week after playing the ‘Pharaoh’s Treasure’ slot game, an exclusive game to the popular casino.

The lucky lady, Sophie M from Peterborough, placed a bet of £4.50 on a single line that hit for a jackpot payout worth £102,718.

“I was in complete shock when I saw I had won the Jackpot,” Sophie M said. “It was the early hours of the morning and I went to bed thinking ‘thank you, thank you, thank you! I hardly slept but I had to keep checking my balance the next morning because it felt like some weird and wonderful dream that I’d had!”

The windfall came as Sophie M got three Tutankhamen Masks in the Tutankhamen’s Tomb Bonus Game, winning her the progressive jackpot. Sophie has decided the money would be invested in her family.

“I’ve had my account for about a year, but I’ve only been playing the Pharaoh’s Treasure game for a couple of weeks – I liked the graphics as they are much better than the slots on some other sites, and I’ve got a good memory so I found I was good at the bonus rounds,” Sophie M said. “Really good at the bonus rounds, as it turns out! It’s unbelievable! I’m planning to invest the money for my family, especially my beautiful children, it will secure their future for them and I’m so proud to have such a loving family.”

The huge payouts are adding up at William Hill, this being the third in the past few weeks. The Snow Queen Magic paid out in August for £99,910, while Money Mountain paid out at the end of July for £40,749.
