Predominantly aimed at UK online gamblers, the 888.com Pirates Millions £8,888,888 jackpot is being widely publicized on British television, including on ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and Channel Five. The amusing TV advert featuring UK celebrity Dom Joly is expected to attract tens of thousands of players.

Don't miss...

Said 888.com Chief Operating Officer, Itai Pazner, 'TV is a great way to reach our target audience and we believe that Dom Joly's fun-loving image is ideal for communicating the messages of Pirates Millions.' 888.com is renowned for producing amusing and entertaining ads, and this one is no different.

It features Joly (of Trigger Happy TV fame) wearing a snorkel to prevent him from drowning in the pool of money he won when Pirates Millions £8,888,888 jackpot hit. Needless to say it has already taken on a 'cult status' and will no doubt ensure 888.com gets more new players than it can count.
