WinADayCasino’s Game of the Month Has $165,900 Jackpot Winner

A Canadian online slots player has won a $165,900 progressive jackpot at WinADayCasino.com.  Sylvia M., known as POWERBALL on the site, won the massive jackpot last week playing the Tropical Treat slot machine, one of the online casino’s newest flash technology games with enhanced full-screen graphics and rich sound effects.

“The progressive jackpot can be won on any of our online slots,” said Michael Hilary, manager of the slots and video poker site.  “But since it’s been the Game of the Month for March and has been played more than usual over the last few weeks, I guess it’s not surprising that’s where this latest jackpot was won.”

“Actually, ever since it launched last month I’ve been mostly playing the newest game, Busted,” said the jackpot winner who has been playing regularly at WinADay since 2009.  “I love the comic strip characters and the Bonus Game where you choose whether you’re a cop or a robber keeps you playing even longer. But I saw Tropical Treat was the game of the month so I figured, why not?”

As the Game of the Month, every 500 spins on Tropical Treat during March earns one ticket in a random draw at the end of the month. One lucky player will win a $250 casino bonus, another lucky player will win a $100 bonus, and 3 lucky players will get a $50 bonus each.  (April’s Game of the Month will be Jackpot Jinni) At the end of the year, there will be a draw for a vacation worth $2000.  But POWERBALL won’t have to wait until then for her tropical treat.

“I want to do something special for my two daughters,” she told the WinADay Customer Service agent that arranged her immediate payout. “I think I’ll invest a lot of it in my home. I’ve been wanting to renovate my kitchen but it’s so expensive. I guess this is the time to do it!”

To qualify for the huge jackpot pay out, POWERBALL got five Gold Compass symbols with a total bet of at least $5.

“I figured, the jackpot hasn’t been won for a couple of months. And every few weeks when it gets over $150,000 you just know it’s going to be won any minute. That’s when I make a point of betting enough to qualify for the jackpot. That’s my little slots strategy and it sure worked this time!”

Tropical Treat is a 50-payline slot machine with free spins and amazing fun-in-the-sun video graphics. Animated butterflies flutter across the screen as the bet amount is selected and the number of paylines to be played is chosen with buttons on a sand castle.

Busted is a retro comic book-style cops and robbers adventure with a spine-tingling Bonus Game. It’s three games in one: a classic 17 pay line video slot, a Double Up round and a Cops and Robbers bonus game.

WinADay’s innovative games designers are putting the finishing touches on yet another new game. The fairground-themed game will be available in April.

Online Casino Player Counting Her Lucky Stars After $148,711 Progressive Jackpot Win

After inching up slowly all summer, progressive jackpot reached highest in months

One of the oldest and most popular slot machines at one of the oldest and most popular online slots site has produced a $148,711 progressive jackpot winner. A player who only started spinning the reels at Slotland.com three years ago hit the massive jackpot playing the Lucky Stars slot machine.

“I’m so excited I can't think straight,” said the winner, known as SOUTHBELLE. “I’m sure not used to having that kind of spending money so I really don’t know what I’ll do with it! I’m terrible for spoiling my family. Can’t help it! So I’ll have some fun with this that’s for sure. First though, my brother has been going through some tough times lately so I’m going to help him with some of the bills that have piled up.”



Lucky Stars is a five-payline slot machine game giving five chances of winning. Each payline which has a bet placed on it can win. Its "Hold" feature appears randomly during play and there is a special bonus round multiplying all wins by 10. Although Lucky Stars is one of the oldest and most popular games at Slotland, it hasn’t had a big progressive jackpot winner since December 2007.

“People play a little less in the summer so the progressive hasn’t increased as fast as it has shot up a few times in the past,” said Slotland Manager Michael Hilary. “But it was worth waiting for I’d say! Last fall it was getting hit pretty well monthly so we weren’t seeing six-figure jackpots like this. We had a $168,476 winner in May but other than that this is our biggest win since last October.”

All of the slots at Slotland are tied to the same jackpot. Every time a player plays max bet on any of these games, some of the wager goes into the progressive jackpot pool. Hitting the right combination with a max bet placed wins the progressive jackpot. In Lucky Stars, a max bet is only $2. If five bars appear on a line with a $2 bet, the jackpot is won.

“I like playing Lucky Stars because there’s a bit of slots strategy involved,” said the winner. “When you get the ‘hold’ feature you have to decide whether or not to keep what you’ve got or take your chances on another spin. Bonus rounds multiply wins so if I feel like I’m close to hitting one I like to make sure I’m betting max to make the most of it.”

Slotland.com currently features 15 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Four of the most popular games, including Lucky Starsd, are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. Slotland’s games do not require any downloading or installation as they are all instant play casino games. Some are now available in Flash format with improved graphics and sound.

The jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. At Slotland’s sister casino WinADayCasino.com, whose games are accessible from the Slotland games lobby, the jackpot is currently over $85K.
