A player in the UK hit it big just before Christmas playing the Pharaoh’s Treasure online slot machine at Vegas.WilliamHill.com to take home over $330,000.
Gibraltar-licensed Vegas.WilliamHill.com is the online gaming site operated by London-based gambling giant William Hill and features roulette, slots, card games and a live casino including five progressive jackpot games.
Online player ‘Simon B’ from Staffordshire hit a winning line on the Egyptian-themed slot off a stake of 58 cents to go through to the King Tut's Tomb bonus round. He then used a mixture of memory and skill to unearth the three jackpot-winning Tutankhamen's masks and take home $332,796.
'I can't quite believe it but I'll certainly be celebrating the New Year with a bang now,” said ‘Simon B’.
“I've won a few hundred pounds before but nothing remotely like this. It's out of this world.'
William Hill also operates an online sportsbook at WilliamHill.com and is offering odds of 11/4 that the New York Giants will win Super Bowl XLIII on February 1 in Tampa Bay, Florida. Currently tied in second place at 4/1 are the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers while the Tennessee Titans are 5/1. The Philadelphia Eagles are being offered at 8/1 alongside the San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens while the underdog Arizona Cardinals are 25/1.
