Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot Hit at Piggs
Peak Online Casino

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.
