Triple Strike at Treasure Nile

0 Comments   Email   Print

Treasure Nile is a progressive jackpot online slot game from the portfolio of Microgaming. It does not hit at the million dollar plus levels like some of the other Microgaming progressive games, but hits considerably more often. But this week Treasure Nile surprised even its most ardent followers by giving some of its biggest hits within a space of three days only.

Over the last four months the progressive jackpot of Treasure Nile has indicated an average time between hits of over 10 days. The average hit size, excluding the last three hits, has been about $70,000. What happened then demonstrates that online slot games are truly games of chance and it is impossible to predict the timing or size of the hit. On November 1 the jackpot was hit for $337,625. This was way above the average hit size and in fact was the largest jackpot hit in the past four months. Then within two hours there was another hit of $307,335. The third hit of the series occurred on November 4 and was for an amount of $123,258. No one can explain the sudden burst of wagering on Treasure Nile on these few days and this is no guarantee of it repeating again in the near future.

But Treasure Nile will always remain a popular Microgaming progressive slot game. The ancient Egypt theme is a big draw. The wild symbol is the Pyramids on the Nile and the scatter symbol is the Scarab. The other symbols include the Ankh, the Anubis, the Sphinx, the Wheat, the Ancient Scrolls, the Gold Necklace, the Boat, the Pillar and the Cobra. The background sound effects as the reels spin are of the river lapping against the shore. The progressive jackpot is hit when five Pharaoh symbols appear on the 9th payline. Players have to bet the maximum five coins with all nine paylines enabled to qualify to win the Jackpot. This works out to only $4.50 per spin.

Those players at Microgaming online casinos who like the bumper size jackpots can try out some of the other progressive jackpot online slots. The largest of the jackpots is the Mega Moolah network. It is currently at almost $2.3 million dollars and rising at $20,000 per day. There are four slot games linked to this network and hitting the jackpot on any one of them resets the network. The other big progressive jackpot online slot game is King Cashalot. It should cross a million dollars by the end of the month. It was hit for over a million dollars almost two years ago. Since then all hits have been under $700,000.
