Aussie Hits The Bookies For Six

They've beaten us in the Ashes, recent rugby games and even have a world class football team and now yet another Aussie has come out on top. A Sydney based client has just hit the British bookies William Hill for six by scooping one of the biggest ever online jackpots - a cool £430,655 when playing a slot machine game on their website, William Hill Casino.

'Harr06073' was playing the 'Rags to Riches' game, which has a progressive jackpot that builds each time the game is played. With a £2.00 spin he got in to the bonus game with a shot at the jackpot, and he could barely believe his eyes when the jackpot dropped and made him an instant Australian dollar millionaire.

The client, who has chosen to only be identified by his account 'nickname' said, "It was a bit of a shock when the jackpot winner message popped up. I looked at the screen for about ten minutes then walked away and came back to see if it was still there - it was! I've always really liked the Williamhillcasino.com games so winning one of the biggest ever jackpots has been a great thrill. As yet I have no plans for the money; I will of course be having a spin or two on the Millionaires' Club slot machine to see if my luck continues!"

William Hill spokeswoman Jennie Prest said, "Harr06073 did think it was ironic that he's won the money from the Poms! He has been a William Hill customer for the last four years and as well as playing our online casino, enjoys betting on key Australian sporting events."

"His win shows the global appeal of our online casino games and how quickly the progressive jackpots can grow to life-changing amounts as players from around the world add in to the pot."

The win of £430,655.19 is just shy of the £436,000 on-line payout record from Hills, but there is a much bigger pot still growing in another online game. The Millionaires Club slot - also found at William Hill Casino - is currently holding the World Record online jackpot of £5.1Million - and it will continue to grow until it is won.
