Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot Hit at Piggs Peak Online Casino
by Tommy Davis Onlinecasinosworld.com

November 23, 2007

Microgaming's massive Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was hit once again, thus making yet another Microgaming millionaire. This time around, however, the jackpot was hit at a lesser known online casino, albeit a good one - Piggs Peak Casino. Most online gamblers know just how large Mega Moolah's jackpot gets, and that large wins are to be expected. What is unique about this particular win is that it is apparently the largest online jackpot to ever be won online in the Southern hemisphere.

The payout was worth 4.3 million South African Rands, which is equivalent to little over US$631,000. Although this sum does not make a millionaire in U.S. dollars, the money will go a very long way in South Africa. While the player requested that his privacy be honored and not to divulge his place of residence, he did say he is 27 years old and an IT technician by trade. He also said he does not plan to quit his day job, but will rather spend and invest his money wisely. One of the first things he plans to do is buy himself a home, which is certainly a great starting investment.

The jackpot win is great PR for Piggs Peak Casino, which also happens to be one of the only eCOGRA certified online casinos based in South Africa. There is only one other eCOGRA certified online casino in South Africa, and that is Volcanic Gold, which happens to be Piggs Peak's sister site. The two properties are owned by Casino Enterprises LTD and are licensed in Swaziland. Regarding their eCOGRA certification, both online casinos meet the strictest regulatory protocols in the gaming business and are entirely transparent. Monthly payout percentages can be viewed on their website, along with software fairness accreditations, licensing details and customer service contacts.
