According to the operator, Shaw, a 3-year-old member has claimed one of the largest online slots win ever. With an impressive 97.9% payout, 888.com claims to have cleared jackpot winnings reaching the US$1.5 million for the first time in March alone. �At 888.com we see winners as good news and quite simply, the bigger the better. So, this win for Etta is great news for 888.com and proves that anyone can win and more importantly anyone can win big,� says 888.com Marketing Manager, Matt Robinson.

'I play on 888.com few times a week, usually roulette, poker or black jack and have always done fairly well. However this fantastic win by far surpasses my expectations. But when it comes to playing the slots at 888.com, I don't think I'll ever stop. The truth is I never thought I could win something as big as this but trust me, it is real,� says Etta Shaw.

The ecstatic Shaw said she was looking forward to spending it on a new house and on her imminent retirement.
