Slotland Jackpot Loosens Up, Produces Second Winner in a Month

$80,369 won playing Slotris within weeks of $169,923 win on Megaspin

Less than a month after their last big progressive jackpot winner, the Slotland jackpot has already been hit again. A player known as MARMOTLUV won $80,369 playing one of Slotland’s newer online slot machines, the Slotris.

“I used to love playing Tetris as a kid so I’ve enjoyed playing Slotris ever since it was added to Slotland,” said the excited winner. “I’ve won lots of smaller amounts over the years I’ve been playing at Slotland, but I never dreamed I’d actually win such a huge jackpot! The money is already in my bank account – but not for long!”



For years the Slotland jackpot was famous for being hit every six weeks or so, usually for between $100 and $150K. This isn’t the first time that the wins have happened more frequently than that though. Last fall there were three six-figure jackpots in a row so this latest win could be the part of a continuing loose jackpot trend.

Of course there’s no predicting when a jackpot will be won. Every time a player places a bet that qualifies for the progressive jackpot (a max bet is required in most games) part of their wager goes to the progressive jackpot pool. That pool keeps growing until someone hits the jackpot.

Since all 16 games at Slotland contribute to the same jackpot pool, it can grow very quickly. After a young couple won a $169,923 jackpot playing the new Megaspin game in July, the jackpot was reset to $50,000 and quickly rose to the $80K prize just won.

Slotris, a Tetris-like online slot machine that launched last year, is two games in one, both inspired by the popular game of falling-blocks considered by some to be the best video game ever. The wheels on the Slotris online slot machine spin the familiar multi-coloured cubes and the same squares fall into place on the grid of the adjacent bonus game puzzle -- just like the video game that has mesmerized millions for decades.

There are two ways to win Slotris. There’s a traditional three-wheel single payline slot line with spinning symbols – coloured blocks rather than cherries. When three matching symbols line up, the player wins. But the coloured boxes don’t just spin on the slot machine wheels. Afterward, the same symbols fall into place in the grid beside the slot machine. Players can win this bonus game by guiding the blocks into place. Every solid-colour line multiplies the player’s bet and ten lines wins the jackpot.

Slotland.com currently features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot.

In August Slotland will introduce another new slot machine. The “Reel Riot” is a single payline slot machine with a “Double Wild” bonus symbol and a special “hold” feature that strategic slots players will love.

The jackpot at Slotland is currently over $64,000. Meanwhile at Slotland’s 3D casino, WinADay.com, the jackpot is over $130,000 and many players believe it is overdue for a win.

3D Casino Jackpot Has Topped $100,000

Fourth Six-Figure Winner This Year Could Be at Any Moment

The progressive jackpot at 3D online casino WinADay.com is about to top $100,000. If it’s anything like the jackpot on its parent site, Slotland.com, that could mean it’s about due for a big win! However, with its animated casino staff and one-of-a-kind games, there really is no other online casino quite like WinADay.com, so it’s anyone’s guess just how high it will go.

This is the fourth time this year that the WinADay.com progressive jackpot has gone over $100,000. Last time, it was won shortly after it hit the magic six figure mark, but the other two times it kept climbing to $148K and $159K before it was won.

All of the slot machines and video poker games at WinADay.com 3D casino are tied to one large jackpot pool. The next big win could be on any of the games, but since two of the first three big jackpots were won playing the Wheeler Dealer, that slot machine is getting a reputation for being lucky.

“Some players think that the Wheeler Dealer must be lucky, since it’s already had two big jackpots. Others think it’s more likely the next win will be on any other game next time,” said Ondrej Tuma of WinADay.com. “Technically, of course, as long as you’re making the required bet, you could win the progressive jackpot playing any of our games.”

WinADay’s biggest jackpot to date was won on the Wheeler Dealer. In January, Monica68 won €116,200 ($148,724) playing that nine reel, eight pay line slot machine.

The WinADay.com 3D Games Lobby features seven no-download, instant-play Flash games that won’t be found at any other online casino. There is nothing to download or install so players can start having fun as soon as they arrive.

WinADay.com will launch a new video poker game called Deuces Wild later this summer.

LinxCasino.com Awarding Free Seats to €1 Million First Prize Slots Tournament

Grand Slam of Slots played on popular Lara Croft Tomb Raider slot machine

In October, LinxCasino.com will present the biggest online slots tournament ever: It is played on the Lara Croft Tomb Raider* slot. It is called The Grand Slam of Slots. It is guaranteed to award someone a first prize of €1,000,000.

The Grand Slam of Slots Tournament will be played on one of LinxCasino.com’s most popular online slot machines, the Lara Croft Tomb Raider*. It’s a 5-reel, 15 pay line slot machine with a bonus-round, a wild symbol, a scatter symbol and a free-spin feature.

The €1,000,000 grand prize is the biggest online slots tournament prize ever awarded. More than 400 tournament participants will win prizes from the €1,407,300 on offer.

EuroLinx Offers Humanitarian Aid to Suffering Poker Players

EuroLinx Refunds the Wager When Players Lose With Pocket Aces

No one likes to be dealt a pair of pocket aces, only to lose the hand in a showdown. EuroLinx Poker Room (eurolinx.com) knows that pain and is offering “humanitarian aid” to suffering poker players. From now on, any player that loses a hand with a pair of pocket aces will get whatever they had in the pot refunded (maximum €25).

“During a six day trial in June we gave Aces Never Lose refunds to about five hundred players,” said David F of Eurolinx.com. “We had one player – he didn’t know about the offer. Poor guy. He flopped three aces against pocket tens, then watched as two tens came on the turn and the river. He was cursing his opponent, but in the end it was the winner that told him he could claim his money back!”

Full details of the Aces Never Lose refund offer is available at: http://www.eurolinx.com/en/Poker/Promotions/AcesNeverLose.aspx.

But the humanitarian aid doesn’t end there. EuroLinx.com also has a Bad Beat Jackpot to help out players dealt hands that really don’t deserve to lose. Any player that loses with four-of-a-kind eights or better gets half the Bad Beat Jackpot, which is currently nearly $80,000. 25% goes to the winner of the hand and the other 25% is split between the other players who actively participated in the hand.

The Linx Media group operates three online gaming sites featuring products and jackpots from Microgaming: Eurolinx, BetOnBet, and LinxCasino. They offer more than 400 games and give players a chance at some of the biggest jackpots on the internet, including the Mega Moolah jackpot that was recently hit for more than $6 Million and is currently just over $1.1 Million. The total Microgaming jackpot pool at Eurolinx, BetOnBet, and LinxCasino, is over $2.5 million.

Linx Group online casinos offer the excitement and dependability of Microgaming casino games with more bonus money than any other Microgaming casino. There are no wagering requirements for Linx loyalty points, so players can cash them in whenever they like.
