Friday 15th July 2005 Online Casino Player Richer from Progressive Jackpot Win
A Missouri slot machine player ‘clicked it big’ at popular online casino, Slotland.com, when he won the website’s progressive jackpot for $127,988 on Striking 7s.
The Slotland.com regular couldn’t believe his luck when he saw the six-figure number light up his screen.
Slotland.com’s progressive jackpot concept is different to those at other online casinos. Usually, a single game is linked across a number of casinos to offer jackpots, which grow each time someone plays. At Slotland.com however, the progressive jackpot can be won by anyone playing any game in the Slotland.com casino. This means slots players can play a little blackjack or video poker between pulls, and still have a chance to hit the same jackpot as on their favourite slot machine.
Slotland's progressive jackpot is currently won on average every six weeks and usually stands around $100,000, making it one of the most frequently won jackpots on the Internet. At $127,988, this jackpot is significantly higher than the benchmark.
Hannah Morante at Slotland.com suggested it was the bonus promotions in May and June that ultimately increased the progressive jackpot total.
“Memorial Day bonuses in May were successful at attracting a high number of players. We also had our regular monthly bonuses in May and early June which certainly would have helped boost the progressive jackpot,” Ms Morante added.
