Player Wins Big at William Hill Vegas Online Casino
One lucky winner certainly knew which game to head for at William Hill Casino, after she hit the jackpot on a mere £4 spin. The player, known as EO, from London, accessed the online casino and tried her luck at the Leprechaun’s Luck progressive slot game. After only a few spins, she was stunned to find that she had won the £420,948 jackpot on the game, making it one of the biggest hits at this casino in a while. “I am thrilled with this enormous jackpot,” she said. “ have won some minor jackpots at William Hill Vegas, but nothing comparable with this one. I'm completely speechless. I would love to give that Irish one armed bandit a big hug!” Commenting on the fantastic win, the spokeswoman for William Hill, Sharon Young noted: “We've had lots of big winners on William Hill Vegas in the past, but this one trumps the lot of them. She placed a £4 wager and won over 100,000 times her stake. It just goes to show that you don't have to bet big to win big on williamhill.com.”
“We're absolutely thrilled for EO and wish her all the best with her giant pot of gold,” she concluded.
Sega Bids Goodbye to the Online Gambling Industry
It was a surprise to learn that the online casino that got launched amidst such great publicity, Sega Casino, has closed its doors to new players and is urging existing ones to withdraw their funds before operations cease completely. A notice on the site’s website reads: “We are no longer accepting registration/deposits from your jurisdiction. Existing customers - if you are an existing SEGA Games customer, please click here to access your account to withdraw your funds. All remaining funds will be automatically credited back to your deposit method, effective September 15th.”
Sega Casino, and its sister site Sega Poker, were both launched by the Japanese video game giant, Sega Games less than a year ago, and for a while it looked like this was definitely a site above the rest. Not only did the site use fantastic Playtech software, but it also promised to combine some of the top Sega brands such as Virtua Fighter and the House of the Dead into unique slot games at Sega Casino. Unfortunately, it seems that the online gambling industry is simply too cutthroat and only the very best will survive the ever increasing levels of perfection demanded by discerning online gamblers.

Nordic Bet Gets New Facelift
It’s always great to see a popular brand sporting a new look, and Nordic Bet’s facelift is no exception. The online casino and sports books said that its site has been upgraded to allow players extra convenience and ease-of-use, making it a pleasure to find the right wager.
“The original NordicBet.com website was designed back in 2002,” said the head of online gaming for Nordic Bet, Joakim Stockman. “While we have made improvements over the years, we felt it was time to listen even more to our customers and so embarked on this redesign with Cyber-Duck.
“I am proud to say that our new website offers best-in-class betting with amazing new personalization features and the fastest game search in the industry,” he added. “This is particularly important as our market-leading position has always been based on excellent odds and the breadth of games we offer. We've now made those games easier to find.”
The software upgrade comes after Nordic Bet consulted with a number of parties, including stakeholders, customers, and analysts, in a bid to find out exactly what punters are looking for in an online sports betting outfit. “NordicBet.com has gone from strength to strength as we have never been afraid to evaluate and improve our services using the most innovative methods available,” said Per Hellberg, CEO for the group.
