The Gold Rush Showdown video slot’s golden jackpot was hit twice in one week at 888 Casino, paying out a combined jackpot of Euro 173 872.
Swedish player, Peter A. won Euro 130 590 on 18 February, followed by Chris P. from Cyprus who won Euro 43 282 on 21 February both on a GBP10 bet.
“It was a huge shock. When it first came up I thought that I had only won Euro 130 000 but then I noticed it had a comma and three zeros behind, and thought this can’t be right! My heart started pounding really fast. I can’t really explain the feeling, but I was in totally shock. I actually logged out and shut down my computer! After 30 minutes I logged back in again and could see the figures were correct, and I had won Euro 130,000! Actually, it still hasn’t really sunk in,” said Peter A.
