Big Jackpot Paid at US-Friendly Online Casino

After seeing foreign players collect big at online casinos that don't accept play from US players, gambling patrons were thrilled to see a progressive pay big at a slot hosted by a casino that takes US customers.

US online slot players may have been discouraged by the huge prizes won at online casinos that have chosen to avoid he murky legal waters of the US market, but a quarter-million dollar strike at a casino that accepts US patrons should perk things up for them. Rushmore Casino carries the Cleopatra's Gold game that gave one lucky player a life-altering reward.

Cleopatra's Gold is a five-reel, twenty-five line game, featuring themes from ancient Egypt. The progressive jackpot had reached $254,910 when it paid out, proving that progressive jackpots can be had at casinos still operating in the US.

Rushmore operates on software from Real Time Gaming. RTG is noted for its Reel Life series of games, featuring top graphics and designs. Rushmore carries an assortment of RTG slots and table games.

US players had recently seen a multi-million dollar hit at a Microgaming casino, especially painful because Microgaming reluctantly left the US only after the Kentucky domain name challenge, taking some of the best gaming and prizes with it.

But RTG has admirably filled the gap, bringing forward several progressives that sit over a million dollars. In fact, Cleopatra's Gold is not regularly in the list of top RTG jackpots.

While waiting for sanity to return to the gaming laws of the US, residents can still find many nice prizes to shoot for with RTG and Rushmore, a standard among online casinos.
