Progressive Jackpot Hit Big Twice

Canadian Woman Hits $146K Jackpot Within Weeks of $165K Win

Last weekend, a Canadian woman was the second online slots player to hit Slotland.com’s progressive jackpot really big in just a few weeks. Her September 23rd jackpot of $146,761 (€105,840) follows a $165, 318 (€119,610) win by a regular player known as “Newman32” in July.

“I usually play the Booster slot because I like the way you can boost your bets. But a friend won a few dollars playing the slot machine called Magic so I decided to give it a try last Sunday,” said this week’s winner. “That machine sure lived up to its name that night, eh?”

In a recent player survey, 80% of respondents said the reason they liked slot machines over other online casino games is the jackpots. With a progressive jackpot that gets hit for $150,000 or more quite regularly, it’s no wonder jackpot-lovers flock to Slotland.com.

“I know a lot of people think slots players just like slots because they’re easy,” said John Lancelet of Slotland.com. “But the chance to win hundreds of thousands on a very minimal bet is a big part of it!”

Unlike many sites where it can take weeks for a jackpot to get back to a very large amount, Slotland’s progressive jackpot starts big thanks to a policy instituted earlier this year.

When the jackpot was hit several times within weeks of each other, Slotland started doubling the start-up amount when they reset it. Since it now re-starts at $50,000 it doesn’t take long to reach big numbers like the $163,114 win in March and the all time high jackpot of $179,166 in May.

The progressive can be played on any of the fourteen unique slot machines and video poker games on the Slotland.com web site. Six games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. The mobile games are tied into the same progressive jackpot, so the next big winner could be at their computer or anywhere they take their mobile phone.

First Monthly Final in Million Dollar Free Roll This Sunday

Winners of Free Roll Qualifiers Compete for PlayersOnly’s Biggest Prize Pool Ever

This Sunday, players that have qualified in free rolls and cash satellites through the month will play-off for a cool $75,000 in the first Monthly Final of PlayersOnly.com’s Million Dollar Free Roll Series. In coming months the sexy, video-rich site will award one million dollars in cash prizes making this the richest poker tournament they’ve ever presented.

“Who wouldn’t want to win a million bucks!?” said PlayersOnly.com Manager David Anderson, “We’ve put a million into the prize pool but we’ve organized it so there’s lots of opportunities to win a nice piece of it.”

The payout structure for the PlayersOnly’s Million Dollar Free Roll Series divides the prize pool so that monthly winners each take away $75,000 and even second and third place players win $10,000.

There are still a few chances win a free seat in Sunday’s final, but players that don’t qualify in time for this weekend can buy-in directly or try again next month.

Free roll qualifiers continue twice a day. Those that prefer to avoid high volume free roll satellites can win their seat in the monthly finals in cash buy-in satellites held every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (buy-ins as low as $2).

Players with Gold Chip loyalty points can play special qualifiers on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays where the buy in is ten Gold Chips. All players also have the option of simply buying in directly at the final table for $50.

25 players will make it to the final table absolutely free, possibly without winning a single hand. For the Deposit Bonus Lottery, each deposit of $100 made with the special bonus code announced prior to each month end final will be one entry in a random draw for free seats at the final.
