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.

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.

Until then, the popular Microgaming-powered casino has lots of ways to win seats in the biggest slots tournament of all time. One such method is Feeless Friday - free tournaments where every Friday in July, the winner will take home their share of the $500 guaranteed pool and also receive entry to the Grand Slam of Slots.

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.

“The Grand Slam of Slots is unique because players have to be invited to the tournament: they cannot buy-in directly,” said Ben C of LinxCasino.com. “We have fantastic promotions leading up to the final tournament, such as Race to a Million where players can win their share of 1000 credits per week, entry to the Grand Slam of Slots and free spins on Tomb Raider*”.

Wannabe millionaires can also win their way to the fall event by playing in $250 Guaranteed Tournaments held every Tuesday. Every deposit at Linx Casino also earns a chance in a free draw for one of ten more tournament seats.

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.

Winning day proves player’s theory that luck runs in streaks

After an extremely lucky afternoon playing slot machines, one Slotland player is glad he trusted his gut feeling and not only continued to play but increased his bets. The player, known at the all slots and video poker site as SHLOMIC, was up $1900 after a $100 deposit because he trusted his gut feeling and increased his wagers at just the right time.

“I’ll share a secret with you,” said the winner. “After many hours of play I believe that most games work in streaks. Yes, I know, it doesn't make a lot of mathematical sense, but it works for me!”

The day of SHLOMIC’s winning streak didn’t start out so lucky. It was a boring day at work and nothing had been going well that morning so he’d locked himself in his office, logged on to Slotland.com, and started playing his favourite online slot machine, Treasure Box. He started with small bets and only increased his bets to the maximum after a streak of small wins.

“At first I found myself loosing most of my bets and so I slowly reduced my bets, down to $2,” he explained. “But then something changed and it felt like I was entering a winning streak. So I tried my theory, and maxed my bet up to $8. And who would have believed it... it worked! Starting with a nice 777, that gave me $200 plus the treasure box (where I had about $600 at this stage). And then came the big win: triple 1, same colour, multiplied on all four lines giving me $1200!”

Treasure Box is a three-reel skill-based slot machine where players can increase their chances of winning by holding reels for the next spin just like video poker players hold their best cards. Treasure Box hasn’t just been lucky for SHLOMIC. Since last March there have been six six-figure jackpot wins at Slotland.com and two were won playing Treasure Box. Most recently, a Canadian player won $195,083 (€126,910) on the ever popular game which, at the time, was the biggest progressive jackpot ever won at Slotland.

Within days, SHLOMIC’s winnings were in his bank account ready for some serious shopping. He also received $1000 for sharing his story in the site’s member newsletter.

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 which was recently hit for $169K and is currently over $57,000.

Newlyweds now not worried about getting by on one income when baby arrives

Winning $169K at Slotland.com means a young couple won’t have to worry about getting by on one income once their baby arrives next spring. Slotland’s newest slot machine produced their latest progressive jackpot winner when NYNYMAN won $169,923 playing the new Megaspin slot.

Having woken up with a sore throat, NYNYMAN had called in sick at work and had decided to take it easy that evening rather than go to his usual Bible study group. Although he has a few favourite games at Slotland.com, it was the new Megaspin that caught his attention as he sat down to play that night.

MegaSpin is a single-payline slot machine game with two identical three-reel sets. Players start by spinning the larger reels at the bottom. When they spin a winning combination, they continue playing for free on the upper Mega Reels. Both winnings are multiplied if they win on the Mega Reels as well.

“I had tried Megaspin once or twice before, and I really love the simple layout and strategy. I especially love that each winning spin lets you spin the Mega Reels for the chance to multiply your guaranteed win,” said the winner.

Within five minutes NYNYMAN had almost doubled his $200 deposit and was feeling lucky. Less than an hour later, he’d won the big jackpot.

“When I spun 3 Wild Stars I started jumping out of my chair, thinking I’d hit the Big One. I was actually only halfway to winning the jackpot. Now I had to spin the Mega Reels and get 3 more stars. Impossible, I knew, but I was hoping for a nice multiplier on the Mega Reels, at least, to make that $150 win even larger.”

“The first spin on the Mega Reels brought me a cherry, grapes and a star that gave me another chance to try to multiply my $150. Three more spins brought me three more losing combinations, but each time there was a star somewhere on the reels to buy me another chance.”

“The next spin seemed to go in slow motion. I watched as the first reel stopped on a star and then the second reel stopped on another star. When third real also stopped on a star I realized I’d won $169,923 and I couldn’t stop shaking.”

His wife wasn’t due home for at least another hour, so NYNYMAN did what any reasonable man who’d just won more money than he would make in one year would do and poured himself a drink! When his wife got home and saw her husband wasn’t at the computer, she thought at first that he wasn’t feeling well.

“I just smiled at her. She looked puzzled and then figured I must have had a good session at Slotland. When I showed her the screen with my winning spin, she looked like she needed a drink, just like I had.

But she said, “You don’t want me drinking when I am carrying your baby, do you?”

The winners wife had found out earlier in the week that she was pregnant but was a little worried about having to stop working since they hadn’t built up their savings as much as they’d wanted.

“Well, with this awesome win, our worries are over and the fun is now starting!” exclaimed the happy winner. “My wife will continue working until about her seventh month; after that, she can remain at home to raise our kids. With this win, that won’t be a problem.”

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.

Special bonuses at WinADay.com mark the occasion

Slotland.com is celebrating the first birthday of their 3D online casino, WinADay.com. A year ago tomorrow the unique and unusual online casino site took its first real money wager.

It’s been a busy year since WinADay began taking bets. Since then, four new games have been added to the original three one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games in the three-dimensional lobby, and there have been three six-figure progressive jackpot winners.

“It seems like just the other day that a group of people at Slotland said, hey, let’s make a three-dimensional casino!” recalls Ondrej Tuma of Slotland. “The time from idea to launch was very short since everyone was so excited by the idea. Now it has a life of its own.”

To celebrate its first birthday, WinADay.com is giving a 10% to 30% bonus on all deposits during the birthday week plus another 20% on the actual birthday, June 23rd!

After a big win just a few weeks ago, the WinADay.com progressive jackpot is currently over $75K. The $100, 224 (€73,970) win in May was the third six-figure jackpot at WinADay.com so far this year and the second to be won on the Wheeler Dealer slot machine. (Watch a report on the last win here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJZzawGO6kQ) In January, Monica68 won $148,724 (€116,200) while playing the same game. Then in March, “123jaki” won $159,660 (€123,620) on the single-payline Slot-O-Matic which had only just been launched.

WinADay.com’s three-dimensional entrance and Games Lobby create a completely new experience for online casino players. Players are greeted and assisted by animated casino staff in the unique three-dimensional Games Lobby where they have seven one-of-a-kind, no-download, instant-play Flash games to choose from. All games are original and only available at WinADay.com, and they’re all tied to one progressive jackpot pool.

“We have several new games in the works right now and will continue to add lots more games in our second year,” said Tuma. “And of course there will be more jackpots! The site is busier now than ever so the progressive jackpots could really get to some amazing levels this year.”

The next new game will be a video poker slot machine. The unique 3D casino will also be adding a welcome video and video tutorials in the near future.
