Bookmakers William Hill have run in to some bad luck with their online casino. The progressive jackpot slot games have been paying out a little too much. Over 3/4 of a million pounds have been paid out in the last 30 days as slots players have been cleaning up.

The winners of the jackpots, ranging from £20,000 to £188,000, includes one particular player who took home in excess of £260,000 from two different games in the space of two weeks!

The progressive jackpot games have become more and more popular in the thrill-seeking gamers’ circles since their launch on William Hill Vegas last year. Not only are they fun to play, but they can also build up life-changing prize pools within a very short period of time. On some of the most-played games, such as Pharaoh’s Treasure and Gold Rush Showdown, the prize money can accumulate to over £100,000 within just a few days.

Some of the current live prize pools of some progressive jackpot games on William Hill Vegas include:
Pharaoh’s Treasure: £86,000
Alice’s Wonderland: £38,000
Casino Poker: £169,000
Gin Joint Jackpot: £29,800

‘William Hill Vegas paid out approximately half a million pounds on the progressive jackpot games in the first half of the year, so paying out over £750,000 within one month was way above everyone’s expectations. However, it proves how popular these types of games have become.’ William Hill’s spokesperson Lili Huang said.

Here are the winners who took lion share of the £750,000 payout:
