Frugal Accountant will Pay Mortgage with $225K Online Slot Machine Jackpot Won at WinADay Casino During 3rd Birthday Celebrations

1 July 2011 (London, UK) – The online slot machine jackpot at WinADayCasino.com was hit for a record-breaking $225,727 at the height of the unique online casino’s third birthday celebrations last week. The jackpot winner, a practical-minded accountant, says rather than blow the win on holidays and luxuries he’ll do the fiscally responsible thing and use the quarter million dollar jackpot to pay off his mortgage.

“Our progressive jackpot can be won anytime on any of our slots games,” said Michael Hilary, manager of the no download casino. “But this is the fourth time we’ve had a six-figure jackpot winner on the Vegas Mania slot machine! That’s more than any other game. Reel De Luxe and Wheeler Dealer – one of the games we opened with three years ago – have each had two big jackpot wins. Vegas Mania is the only one to have had four!”



The WinADay jackpot is usually won around the $150,000 mark but has gone much higher several times in the casino’s first three years. In March 2010 it rose to a record $224,420 before it was won by a retired widower. Since all the slots at WinADay contribute to one big progressive jackpot, and since the casino has been particularly busy due to some generous birthday promotions recently, it quickly rose to the record high level after a $167,648 in May.

The latest winner, Dereck O., is known as MRBIG on the site and has been playing at WinADay for about a year. Until now he’s divided his playing time between four favourite slot machines: Vegas Mania, Leprechaun Luck, Fair Tycoon and Tropical Treat. Although he said it was hard to pick an absolute favourite from the lot, Vegas Mania will obviously have a special place in his heart after his fantastic luck on that game.

Making its debut just over a year ago, Vegas Mania is a five-reel, 21 pay line slot machine where players get up to fifteen free spins, Wild symbols increase the chance of winning and Double Wilds double winnings. Vegas Mania is a high stakes slot machine with a total maximum bet of $84 per spin. Players can win up to 3000 times the betted amount.

Coincidently, it’s also the Game of the Month for July so players can get a chance to win up to $250 in a month-end draw just by playing it. At the end of the year one 2011 Game of the Month player will win a dream vacation prize. (Details posted on site.)

MRBIG said he’s looking forward to playing the new America-themed “Grand Liberty” slot machine when it launches just after Independence Day.

WinADay is an instant casino with 25 online casino games including slots, video poker, Keno and Roulette.

Good Things Come in 3s as WinADay Celebrates 3rd Birthday

Hard to believe, but it's already been three years since Slotland launched its second online casino! Three years ago tomorrow, WinADayCasino.com, a casino unlike anything online slots players had ever seen, took its first cash bet. There were only a handful of games back then but like today they were all completely unique, created by WinADay, and not available at any other online casino. Since then a lot more incredible slot machines and video poker games have been created and the lobby has been re-designed several times to accommodate the growing selection. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is the company’s dedication to customer service.

“After operating Slotland.com for many years we knew how important it is to treat players really well and to always have something new for them to try,” said WinADay manager Michael Hilary. “We have players that have been with us since day one, and our customer service team members are on first name basis with many of our regular players. I personally want to thank our staff for taking such good care of our players in our first three years! We’re extremely proud of the positive feedback we get.”



“This casino is so new and different and so much fun,” said slots player Mark S. shortly after WinADayCasino.com launched three years ago. “The odds are so fair that the bonus lasted me longer than any other!”

“Best instant casino software by far,” wrote Gary L . “All at a single click, super graphics and sound A-PLUS.”

“You have such an awesome casino,” wrote Vera M., one of WinADay’s first players. “It’s easy to start playing and the games are so fun. You always come up with something new which keeps me on my feet. I can't wait for more new games. Thanks for creating a fun and fair place for me to play!”

Special Birthday Deposit Bonuses
Good things come in threes as WinADay celebrates with some special birthday deposit bonuses. Everyone that logs on tomorrow will find they’ve received a birthday present -- $33 deposited in their account (VIP players will receive $66.) Players can also get up to three deposit bonuses tomorrow, June 23rd -- a 100% cash back bonus will be paid on players’ 3rd, 6th and 9th deposit. (The usual wagering requirements for bonuses apply and are posted on the site.) The birthday blitz continues Friday and Saturday June 24 & 25 with 33% bonuses on every single deposit.

Horoscopes say anyone born June 23rd will “be actively involved with teamwork and collaboration with others” this year. In WinADay’s case, the stars are no doubt referring to its in-house team of games designers who will continue to add amazing, unique games. The next new one is an “America” themed online slot machine that will launch shortly.

WinADayCasino.com is a no download casino with 25 one-of-a-kind online casino games - online slot machines, video poker, roulette and keno. Most of the slots are tied to one progressive jackpot which was recently hit for $167,648. Currently nearly $200,000 the jackpot is quickly approaching last year’s record breaking $224,420 jackpot win.

Intertops' Slick New Poker Software has Sophisticated Tournament Tools

Intertops Poker has just installed a major poker software update with a slick new look and advanced tools for online poker tournament players. In emails to customer service and chat at the tables, the verdict is: the new software is awesome.

“They say you can keep using the old software if you want, but why would you want to?!” said one player. “I’m no shark. I’ve always liked playing at Intertops because there’s always a few tables at my level. But it’s nice they gave it a bit of a facelift.”

Much more than a mere facelift, the new software update may look good but it also gives serious online poker tournament players the tools they need to stay organized and poker-hand analysis tools that can help every player improve their game.

“I’m lovin’ the stats tool,” said one player. “Now you can get stats from your previous sessions as well.”

For those playing a lot of tournaments rather than Sit n Go games, the new direct tournament registration and excel-style sheets for organizing schedules are helpful.

“I like the tournament filters,” said a regular at Intertops many daily scheduled and Sit n Go tournaments. “There’s so many tournaments every the day. It can be a drag scrolling through them all looking for the right game, the right stakes. Now with just a couple of clicks you can filter out the ones you’re not interested in.

The new software also features a Tournament Notifier enabling players to filter the tournament notices they receive and a Tournament Calendar to remind them about online poker tournaments they’ve registered for. Re-sizeable tables can be scaled down to industry-standard minimum size and the Tournament Lobby now includes links to Satellites.

Intertops welcomes players from around the world to its online poker room, casino and sportsbook. After fifteen years of excellent service, players trust them to offer the best bonuses and promotions and to make their withdrawals quick and easy.

One of the First Players to Try New White Rhino Slot Machine at GrandeVegasCasino.com Wins Over $110K

GrandeVegasCasino.com may wish it had never heard of its new online slot but players are sure loving the new White Rhino game. Especially the Frenchman who won over $110K playing it within hours of it launching!  Mon dieu, no wonder players are flocking to it today hoping it continues to be so loose!

Gilles R. from France won over $110,000 from a deposit of only $16 yesterday morning, just hours after the new game became available to GrandeVegasCasino.com players. He started betting only $2.50 per spin and increased his bets once he got a feel for the new game.

Gilles’s highest win was $33,450 which he won while playing the “Guide Feature”, one of the free games features built into White Rhino. The Guide Feature awards ten free games with the chance to triple prizes. He also won payouts up to $5,900 playing the White Rhino Feature (which gives up to 30 free spins) and more playing the Kilimanjaro Re-spin where you can hold any reel to improve the combination on the next spin.

The French winner could even find himself face to face with a real White Rhino since everyone that bets on the new White Rhino game (until June 30th) is automatically entered in a free contest to win an exclusive safari trip, all expenses paid.

Royal Wildlife Safari Contest details: http://www.grandevegas.com/grande-vegas-casino-promotions.aspx

White Rhino is a 5 reel, 25 pay-line online slot machine. Its beautifully illustrated safari theme has White Rhino substitutes that appear grouped on the middle reels and triggers three free games features.

Slotland Jackpot Pays Daughter's College Tuition

A middle-aged father who won a $128,734 jackpot at Slotland.com last week says he’ll use his winnings to pay for his daughter’s college education. The player, who’s been playing online slot machines at Slotland for about year, won the massive pay out playing the new Witch’s Brew online slot machine.

“My daughter is just starting college and my wife and I were worried about how we’d be able to pay for it all,” said the jackpot winner, known as RMP1956 at the popular online casino. “Education is important but it’s so expensive these days! Well, I guess that’s one thing we won’t have to worry about any more!”



Witch's Brew is an uncomplicated single pay line slot machine where players watch the Witch's magic boil right in front of them. Players can bet as little as $0.50 or as much as $4.00 to see what she has in store. During the game, pots of jam fill up and boil over. Hidden witches activate Wild symbols according to the flavour of the overflowing jam. Boiling jam pots can activate more than one Wild symbol, increasing chances of spinning a winning combination even more. Three Wild Pumpkins like RMP1956 got wins the progressive jackpot.

“Slotland is one of the few online casinos that I trust. I really enjoy the games -- they’re fun and easy to understand. This Witch’s Brew, it’s really something. I had actually never tried it until the night I hit the jackpot on it!” said the winner. “I love watching the cauldrons boiling over, especially when I get them all going and I can play with all seven wild symbols active. I also love the little animated black cat that meows every once in awhile. Not to mention a six-figure pay out is pretty darn good too!”

“It’s funny,” said Slotland.com manager Michael Hilary. “Most players have a favourite game that they play more than others. But it seems that a lot of jackpot winners lately have hit big when they were taking a break from their usual game and trying out something different. Fortunately we’re constantly adding new games so there’s always something different for them to try!”

Hit on average every 6-8 weeks, this time it had been nine weeks since the Slotland jackpot had seen a big jackpot win. Although it sometimes soars to nearly $200K, the average jackpot win is like this one, about $130,000.

Slotland.com has been offering one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years. Slotland is a no download casino. There are currently 21 instant-play casino games to choose from – none of them found at any other online casino. Six of Slotland’s games are also available at its mobile casino.

The progressive jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. It’s already over $60,000 and climbing quickly. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is over $170,000 and statistically overdue for a big win.

Slotland Gives $15 Casino Bonus for New 'Tikal Treasure' Mayan Slot Machine

With a $15 free chip to try an amazing new game, and a six-figure jackpot that many players feel is overdue for a win, Slotland.com expects to be extra busy this week.  Their new Tikal Treasure online slot machine will take you to the mystical temples of the ancient Mayans where the treasures of the ancients lay waiting beneath the overgrown jungle.

Until this Sunday 12th June, Slotland will give you a free $15 chip to take a free spin on the new game. (Regular bonus restrictions apply.)

Tikal Treasure is a 5 reel, 25 pay line slot machine. Like all of Slotland’s latest new games, it has eye-popping full screen graphics and brilliant sound effects.

Tikal (also known as T'kal) was the capital of one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya and crumbling ruins still attest to the power and riches of the Mayans. The new Tikal Treasure slot machine mimics the distinctive carvings of the ancient Mayan temples. Ornate symbols from Mayan astrology, stone masks, sun gods and mystical Mayan cats spin on the reels.



The Wild symbol in this game is the head of a Mayan totem pole. When it appears on any reel, animation morphs it into a spectacular symbol covering the whole reel. The Wild symbol then applies to all three rows.

To advance to the Bonus Round, you have to collect orange stone balls, which automatically drop into receptacles below when they appear on any reel. You then have five chances to destroy any block on the reels causing another block to drop down to replace it.

Like all of the online slots at Slotland, Tikal Treasure is tied to the casino’s famously loose progressive jackpot. According to Mayan mythology, the god Quetzalcoatl is a giver of life. In the new Tikal Treasure slot machine, the 5 Quetzalcoatl symbols in a row on a minimum $20 bet wins the jackpot which is currently over $125,000 and considered overdue for a win by many regular Slotland players.

Slotland.com has been offering one-of-a-kind online slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years. There are now 21 instant-play casino games to choose from at the no download casino – none of them found at any other online casino.

This and other Slotland news stories can be viewed on Slotland's YouTube channel.
