GTECH G2’s IPN Poker Network Pays Out €507,144 Bad Beat Jackpot

Bad Beat Jackpot at Europe’s Largest Independent Poker Network Easier to Win than Most

A player on GTECH G2’s International Poker Network (IPN) hit the network’s massive Bad Beat Jackpot this week when his Quad Kings lost to a Royal Flush.

A player known as 72osROCKS!, the loser of the hand but winner of the Bad Beat Jackpot,  received €177,500.  Hand winner Nogis22 got €88,750 and the other three players at the table each won €29,583.

“I was pretty EXCITED when I found myself holding four Kings,” said the winner, “My heart sank when I saw my opponent’s Royal Flush – but that changed quickly when I realized I was playing at a Bad Beat table!”

The Bad Beat Jackpot was created to help ease the frustration of losing even when you’re dealt great cards.  With a jackpot requirement starting at Quad 6s, the IPN’s Bad Beat Jackpot is easier to win than most.

To qualify for the Bad Beat at IPN poker rooms, players must be at a designated Bad Beat table and use both pocket cards in their winning or losing hand. The losing hand must be four-of-a-kind sixes or better. Four or more players must be dealt into the hand.

The IPN  includes such popular poker sites as VirginPoker.com, PokerHeaven.com and the Casino-Club.com poker room.  There is a list of International Poker Network poker sites at http://www.ipnpoker.com/ipn_poker_rooms/area-52.html.

This week, like every week, slots players can get a free $100 to play the Slot-of-the-Week at the new US-friendly slots site, Slotastic! (www.slotastic.com). From now until Sunday, the bonus slot machine is Crazy Vegas. All through January, the Progressive-of-the-Month is the Jackpot Pinatas slot. Players can get another free $100 to play this game whose massive $1.5 million progressive jackpot is the biggest online casino jackpot available to American players.

“We have a complete selection of casino games,” said Slotastic’s manager, “But Slotastic! is really designed with slots players in mind so all of our promotions and bonuses relate to slots games.”

Crazy Vegas is a 20-payline video slot machine game with symbols of Las Vegas spinning on its five reels: entertainers, showgirls, dice, cards, Roulette tables, Craps, chip stacks, and an emcee. It can be played for free or players can wager from $0.01 to $5.00 per payline. There are three animated symbols that trigger special features: Crazy Vegas, Big Bonus and Free Spins. For example, when ‘Free Spins’ appears on the second, third and fourth reels, the animated symbol reveals the number of free spins that have been won and the payout multiplier for the free spins round.

The Jackpot Pinatas jackpot, which is now over $1,500,000, may be one of the largest progressive jackpots currently available, but there are two other seven-figure jackpots at Slotastic! that could make some lucky player an instant millionaire at any minute. The Aztec’s Millions jackpot and the jackpot tied to both the Mid-Life Crisis and Shopping Spree slots are all over $1 million.

Later this week, as it does on the first of every month, Slotastic! will be sending players their Monthly Paycheck coupon code for January which will entitle them to a further $100 in bonus cash. Terms and conditions of all casino bonuses are posted in the ‘Promotions’ section of Slotastic.com. A toll-free Customer Service line is available 24-7.

Double Comp Points on 3 Special Christmas Games

It’s Christmas Bonus time at Slotastic! Santa Strikes Back is the next Slot-of-the-Week, and double Comp Points are up for grabs on three special Christmas games. Until Sunday, 27th December, players can get a $100 Christmas Bonus for playing Santa Strikes Back. That’s in addition to the $100 Welcome Bonus for new players and the $100 Progressive-of-the-Month Bonus.

“I know, with so many bonuses it’s hard to keep track!” said Slotastic’s manager. “Basically, it’s $100 when you sign up, another $100 every month to be played on the Progressive of the Month, which is Aztec’s Millions this month, and another $100 every week to play on the Slot-of-the-Week, which this week is my personal favourite of our three Christmas games, Santa Strikes Back.”

From December 21st through 27th, players get double Comp Points when they play any of the three Christmas games. Slotastic players earn Comp Points any time they play, usually 1 point for $10 in bets. Over the holidays, that has been doubled on Santa Strikes Back, Naughty or Nice, and Rudolph’s Revenge. Comp Points can be redeemed for cash.

All three Christmas games give chances to win free games and big jackpots. Santa Strikes Back is a sequel to Rudolph’s Revenge, a dark-humored, Christmas-themed, 50 pay line slot game featuring a vengeful Rudolph and a couple of shivering elves. It’s a progressive jackpot game -- 5 evil Rudolph symbols on a payline wins the jackpot which is currently over $20,000. In the new Santa Strikes Back, Santa is back on his feet and has definitely had enough! It’s time to regain control of the North Pole. The 'Santa Strikes Back!' feature is triggered if Santa is victorious in 3 or more scatter-battles after a spin, whereas the 'Rudolph's Revenge' feature is triggered when Rudolph is victorious. Both features award 7 free games. In Naughty or Nice, another 5-reel, 50 pay line slot machine, Santa has some sexy helpers. Each girl, whether naughty or nice, awards free games and instant prizes.

Slotastic! is a new US-friendly online casino featuring more than 300 casino games, including dozens of slot machines and video poker games and three of the biggest progressive jackpots available to American players. The Jackpot Pinatas jackpot is currently over $1.5 million; Shopping Spree/Mid-life Crisis and Aztec’s Millions jackpots are both just over a million each.

Record-breaking $198K Win at WinADay.com 3D Casino

5th jackpot win at unusual three-dimensional slot machine site this year 

A $198,180 progressive jackpot win last week at WinADay.com was the unique 3D casino’s biggest jackpot win ever. The winner was playing the enchanting Heavenly Reels slot machine when she won the record-breaking jackpot.

“I’d been playing for awhile that night,” recalled the winner. “I had just about reached the limit I had set for myself and I was actually starting to day dream about things I had to do the next day, what I was going to make for dinner, when I couldn’t believe my eyes! I just stared at that huge number on my screen for what seemed like hours before I finally realized it was true. I’d won the jackpot!”

The winner has been a regular player at WinADay.com’s sister site, Slotland.com, and only recently tried the 3D casino for the first time when she read an article about it in the player newsletter.

“I generally stick to a few favourite games,” she said. “But sometimes I like to try something different and I’m sure glad I did that night!”

Heavenly Reels is a four pay line slot machine adorned with heavenly cherubs and with angel wings spinning on its wheels – so much fun it’s nearly sinful. Although all the slot games at WinADay.com are tied to the same progressive jackpot, this is the first jackpot win on this game which launched in October 2008.

“It won’t be hard to find ways to spend this money at Christmas!” said WinADay.com’s fifth major progressive jackpot winner. “The timing couldn’t have been better.”

“This jackpot rose much higher than usual,” said Ondrej Tuma of WinADay.com. “It averages about $150K. Before this win, our largest win ever was our very first jackpot which was won on the Slot-o-Matic.”

After the win, the jackpot was reset to $30,000. and there is actually no reason there couldn’t be another big win before Christmas to make another family’s celebrations a holiday to remember!

WinADay currently has 9 unique slot machines and video poker games which players access through a three dimensional casino lobby complete with animated casino staff to assist them in selecting a game. Another new game, to be known as The Reel De Luxe, will be added before Christmas.

Slotland Jackpot Looser than Usual with Yet Another Winner in Less Than a Month

$87K Win is First Progressive Jackpot Won on New Reel Riot Slot Machine

Staff and players at Slotland.com are shaking their heads in amazement as the Reel Riot slot machine has produced another winner just a month after the last one -- which came less than a month after October’s $175K win.

The jackpot was hit on December 7th for $87,221 by a player known as WMSAMUELS.

“We used to predict the Slotland.com jackpot would be won every six weeks or so,” said Slotland.com manager Ondrej Tuma. “Lately, the average win has been a bit less, but it’s being won more frequently!”



All of the games at Slotland.com are tied to the same progressive jackpot. Although one other game, Treasure Box, has had several jackpot winners, this is the first time that the jackpot has been won on the new Reel Riot.

“Reel Riot is our newest game,” explained Tuma, “And our newest game is usually the most popular. Since so many people have been playing Reel Riot we shouldn’t be surprised that the jackpot was hit on that game, I suppose. But really, the next win could be on any of our 15 games.”

The Reel Riot is a single payline slot machine with fantastic retro graphics that Slotland launched last summer. It has a “Double Wild” bonus symbol and a special “hold” feature for keeping any symbol for the next spin.
Incredibly, this win comes just days after a record-breaking $198k progressive jackpot win at Slotland.com’s 3D casino, WinADay.com.

Slotland’s slot machines and video poker games are all instant play casino games with nothing to download or install. Six of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s slot machines, including the mobile versions, are tied to one progressive jackpot which was reset to $50,000 after this win.
