Australian Lotto Millionaire Still Lives in Caravan

While some gamblers day dream about what they’ll do if they hit the jackpot, some can’t imagine changing anything.  Paul Cousins, an Australian Council worker who won $5 million on the Lotto, still lives in his caravan and has no plans of retiring from his job repairing potholes for the local shire, but he is enjoying the air conditioning in the new car he bought with his winnings.

"I bought a pack of ciggies, had a few beers and some Chinese takeaway and went into work like normal the next morning," said the frugal multi-millionaire, wearing a pair of thongs, Stubbies and a flannel shirt as he sat outside his caravan talking to The Sunday Telegraph.  "I'm just the same simple bloke."

The Australian lotto winner says his next “extravagance” will be a new bed.

Las Vegas Hotel Fire – Stratosphere Lucky This Time

Fire broke out on the ninth floor of one of the most famous hotel casinos on the Las Vegas strip recently.  The fire alarm went off for the Stratosphere Hotel fire at around 2:00 pm and the hotel went into a state of emergency.  It is believed that the fire was started by careless smoking.

Fortunately, the fire was contained to some towels found on the bathroom floor of one of the guestrooms, and was quickly put out by hotel staff. Using some quick thinking and improvising a little, security personnel filled a waste paper basket with water and put the flames out before fire officials arrived at the scene.

The floor was evacuated for approximately 45 minutes.

“The Fire was responsible for very light smoke on the ninth floor,” said Timothy R. Szymanski, the public education and information officer for Fire and Rescue in Las Vegas,  “But no other floors were affected.”
The fire caused about $250 in damages but, fortunately, no one was injured.

$109K WinADay Jackpot Hit Just 3 Weeks After Last Win

Australian wins record-breaking jackpot playing Gold Boom slot machine

Just three weeks after its last six-figure progressive jackpot winner, WinADay.com’s progressive jackpot has just been hit again. Night before New Year’s, Brenda D. in Australia won $109,962 playing the Gold Boom slot machine at the unique 3D casino.

The previous jackpot winner set a record a few weeks before Christmas for the largest jackpot ever won at the three-dimensional online casino, $198,180. But this latest winner has set another record: shortest interval between jackpot wins. In the not-quite-two-years since the unique site launched, the jackpot has been won, on average, every three or four months. To be won twice in one month is extraordinary.



After the last win, the jackpot was reset to $30,000. When the 3D casino was just becoming known, it would take several months to climb to $100,000 but since the site has been so popular over the holidays it shot to six figures very quickly this time.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when the game said that I’d won,” said Brenda D. who only started playing online slot games at WinADay.com last summer.  “I had to get my sister to come over and look at my screen and tell me it was true before I could believe it!”

The excited winner said that she plans to treat her whole family to a cruise in the spring.

“I’ve always enjoyed speaking with players,” said Michael Hilary, WinADay.com’s new manager.  “But this is the first time I’ve contacted someone to confirm that they’d won a massive jackpot. It would be great to do it again in another three weeks!”

With symbols that hearken back to gold rush days, Gold Boom is a 9-wheel, 6-pay line slot machine that offers free bonus spins, a progressive jackpot, and awesome payouts. Players can win Bonus Spins that can pay off big time.  Whenever three Diamond symbols appear on a wagered pay line, one Diamond is added to the Bonus Spin Counter. When 3 bonus spin diamonds have been collected, the player wins three Bonus Spins.  The amount won on those spins is based on the amount bet on the last normal spin, so strategic players will want to keep an eye on the Bonus Spin Counter when deciding on their wagers.

Three Gold symbols on a wagered payline with max bet wins the WinADay.com progressive jackpot.

WinADay is an instant play Flash casino so there is nothing to download or install before enjoying the games. The new Monday Madness casino bonus adds 10% to deposits made on Mondays. All of the slots games at WinADay.com are tied to the WinADay progressive jackpot.

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.

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.

RealDealPoker.com Set to Change the Face of Online Poker by Replacing RNGs with Real Cards

Automated system shuffles and deals real cards, has “cut” and “burn cards” functions

Gioia International Limited is and Red Planet Gaming Inc are launching a unique new poker site, RealDealPoker.com which, unlike all other online poker sites that use random number generators (RNGs) to deal their cards, uses an automated system developed by Gioia – "Cut N’ Shuffle" and "Game Check" -- that shuffles and deals real cards and has "cut" and "burn cards" functions.

The system is designed to replicate the actual game of poker a player may experience in a casino, home game or land based tournament, including the unique provision of a “cut function” and deployment of “burn cards”, something that no other online poker site currently provides. Gioia’s patented Cut N’ Shuffle system is a fully automated, real card dealing system that scrambles, shuffles and deals real decks of cards, digitizes the results and then translates them to its online poker table games. Gioia has also designed and built the first system capable of producing post-game audit results, Game Check.

Extensive research conducted through an independent research company, feedback from players both professional and amateur clearly showed a place in the market for an online poker site that deals actual cards instead of via an RNG. The passion of Gene Gioia, the founder of www.realdealpoker.com and his drive to create a fair game of poker has resulted in over four years of extensive development to reach this historic point in the company’s development.

The agreement between Gioia International Limited and Red Planet Gaming Inc sees Gioia acquiring software to provide an exceptional poker playing experience at www.RealDealPoker.com.

Real Deal Poker will launch in February 2010 once integration and testing are complete. Meanwhile players can find relevant information and sign up at the www.RealDealPoker.com site that is currently taking sign ups and enabling players to reserve their preferred screen names.

Gene Gioia, Founder and CEO of Gioia International Limited commented: “This is a unique moment in the company’s history. In addition to assembling a first rate management team, we have found in Red Planet Gaming Inc a partner who shares our passion for bringing a truly fair game of poker to players around the world and changing the face of poker online as we know it today.”

Vahe Baloulian, CEO of Red Planet Gaming Inc added: “I have never seen someone as committed as Gene Gioia to bringing a truly remarkable product to the market. His passion and understanding of what poker is about has resulted in a product that will make the poker world sit up and take note. I am delighted that Red Planet Gaming is partnering Gioia International Limited in this unique venture.”

bwin Adds GTECH G2’s Mini Aztec Keno Progressive to Games Portfolio

Mini and full-size game both tied to same €50K+ progressive jackpot

bwin has added the mini version of GTECH G2’s popular Aztec Keno progressive jackpot game to their already impressive portfolio of side games. The full size version of Aztec Keno launched on the sportsbetting site’s Games tab last month. 

“We have found that while they’re waiting for results, sports bettors like to play a quick, simple game. Our Mini Games are great for that,” said Kevin O’Neal, spokesperson for bwin.

Aztec Keno was developed by Dynamite Idea, one of the four software companies making up the GTECH igaming division. bwin has offered games from Dynamite Idea since 2006 and has featured casino games from Boss Media, also now part of GTECH G2.  They now have 12 full size Fortune games as well as 4 mini games including Triple Chance Hi Lo, Spin N Win and the new Casino Dice. These are small, fast games with sometimes massive winnings and all are also available in full size and mini game format.

The appeal of side games and mini games is simplicity and instant gratification. To play the new Aztec Keno progressive jackpot, players just pick 1 to 15 numbers and watch to see if the 20 lucky numbers drawn match their selection. The more numbers they match, the more they win, as well as the chance to win the progressive jackpot. The game plays quickly and it’s back to the sports book.

Both the full- and mini-size version of Aztec Keno are tied to the same progressive jackpot which was seeded at €10K in September and is currently over €50K.

“We’re a ‘House of Games’. We offer a wide selection of games from a variety of software providers,” said O’Neal. “Games from GTECH G2 have proven to be very popular with our customers, and products from GTECH G2 integrate well with our management systems.”

Another Slotland Jackpot Winner in Less Than a Month

The reels have barely quit spinning from the last big progressive jackpot win at Slotland and it’s been hit again already. A player known as “JJJUNIPERJJJ” has just won $85,873 playing the new Reel Riot slot machine.
The last big jackpot winner was less than a month ago when a retired grandmother won $175K playing video poker.

“I was just relaxing on a Sunday afternoon, enjoying my favourite games,” said the most recent jackpot winner. “Then suddenly I hit the jackpot! I thought I must have dozed off and was dreaming but it really was my lucky day!”

“We always keep our cheque book handy because you never know when someone will hit the jackpot,” said Ondrej Tuma of Slotland. “But we weren’t expecting this one to be hit again so soon – we thought the next big win would be at WinADay.com!”

All New Re-Design Gives InterCasino the WOW! Factor, Makes Games Easier to Browse

With the completely re-designed casino that launched this week, InterCasino has raised the bar once again!  One of the oldest and most popular online casinos, InterCasino features games from Cryptologic and, in fact, is about the best Cryptologic-powered casino out there.

The new casino design definitely has the “wow” factor! The next time you launch InterCasino you may think you’ve accidently opened your iTunes or Windows Media player but you’re not browsing music you’re choosing a casino game!

The old lobby was cool – a big illustration of a casino where, to play a game, you could click on one of the tables in the foreground or one of the popular branded slot machines against the back wall. The new lobby doesn’t try simulate a Las Vegas hotel casino anymore, but it does make it a lot easier to notice new and featured games, to return to your favourites, to join tournaments, and to find the highest progressive jackpot games.

There is one feature from the old design that has wisely been retained. As in the old design, the new InterCasino lobby gives you a choice of views. One is very graphic, the other lists more detailed information on each game.

The Tournaments tab in the new lobby is much more prominent than in the old casino, so that will likely mean more players will find their way to the many blackjack and slots tournaments that InterCasino hosts every day.

One thing that hasn’t changed at InterCasino is their fantastic games selection including Marvel Comics superhero slots like Fantastic Four as well as Spiderman Revelations, Batman and King Kong.
