Slots Player Spins Incredible Six-Game $139,957 Winning Streak at JackpotCapital.com

Online slots player wins at every game he plays with bonus games and free spins extending playing time

Most regular online slots players have their good nights when they get lucky and have a fun winning streak. But, to win $10,000 or more on every game you try is every online casino player’s dream. This dream came true at JackpotCapital.com last week when one lucky player tried six online slot machines during a two-day period and walked away with a total of $139,957.77 in winnings.

“I had played Aladdin's Wishes before. In fact, I had a bit of luck on it last time I played so I started there. I couldn’t believe it when I won $29,305!” said the winner from the undisclosed tropical resort where he and his wife have gone to start enjoying their good fortune. “I never have the kind of luck! My wife told me I should quit while I was ahead but I thought, what the heck, I think I’ll just try one more game before I log off. So I played Count Spectacular for a bit.”

It was not long before Armin B. had racked up $9,980 in winnings on Count Spectacular. He went on to win $10,020 playing Goblin’s Treasure and then his unbelievable good luck continued when he won $25,593.77 playing Mystic Dragon. After winning more than $45,000, he called it a night. Next day, still in shock over his run of luck the night before, he decided to take a few spins on the Texan Tycoon slot machine and started winning right away. That day he also played Pay Dirt. He added another $21,394.50 to his winnings playing Texan Tycoon and a staggering $43,665 on Pay Dirt for a grand two-day total of $139,957.77

“We often see players have winning streaks,” said casino manager Oliver Smith. “Sometimes Lady Luck just smiles on you! However, this really is an incredible run of luck. He won a lot of money and it sounds like he had a lot of fun in the process. We couldn’t be happier for him!”

JackpotCapital.com is home to the biggest progressive jackpots available online to US players. At over $1.6 million, the Jackpot Piñatas jackpot is the largest jackpot available, but two other jackpots have also reached seven-figures. The Aztec’s Millions jackpot and the jackpot tied to both the Mid-Life Crisis and Shopping Spree slots are all well over $1 million.

Gioco Digitale and Jadestone Score a Scopa

Gioco Digitale and Jadestone Networks confirm the immediate success from the market launch of the two local multiplayer card games Burraco and Scopa in Italy. The two companies will now continue to expand the business with more enhancements in order to achieve an even broader audience.

During the initial live period, more than 450.000 cash tournaments of Burraco and Scopa have been played and the interest increase day by day.

"Apart from delivering the numbers, the games have largely appealed to a new audience for us" - says, Paolo di Feo, CEO of bwin Italia - “And in the months to come, we will make great enhancements in order to achieve an even bigger audience”.

Tobias Nissen, General Manager of Jadestone Networks, comments on the success in Italy: "We took the launch of these Italian favorites very seriously, perfecting the games together with local experts.

American College Basketball Fans Have Until Thursday to Enter Intertops Sportsbook's Free $25,000 March Madness Bracket Contest

Deposit Bonus and 2012 Final Four package all part of the Big Dance at world’s first and foremost online sportsbook

The American college basketball bracket has been set and, to add to the excitement of March Madness, Intertops Sportsbook is running several free contests. The popular US-friendly online sportsbook will award $25,000 in its annual College Hoops March Madness Bracket contest and is giving away more cash and prizes in other free contests this month.

“Correctly predicting the outcome of 63 games is hard, there’s no doubt about that,” said a spokesperson from Intertops Sportsbook, the world’s very first and still most popular online sportsbook. “We can’t make it easy – but we can make it free! And even if no one predicts every game correctly, we’ll still pay out the prize money.”

Basketball fans have until Thursday to make their selections and enter the free contest. If no player manages to select a “perfect bracket”, the prize money will be divided equally amongst the 25 players with the most correct picks.

Until Friday, Intertops’ March Madness Deposit Bonus will add 20% (up to $100) to all deposits.

And that’s not all: Intertops customers wagering at least $500 on the games of the March Madness tournament are automatically entered in a random draw for a $5000 cash prize -- with no rollover requirements. Also, every dollar wagered on March Madness games at Intertops is one entry in a free draw for a 2012 Final Four Weekend prize package.

The Pittsburgh Panthers have an explosive offense and are serious contenders for the championship. But the Ohio State Buckeyes are first in the Big-Ten and sitting pretty. On the other hand, Duke has experience on its side and could make a run at repeating last year’s championship success!”

Summer Daydreams Help Win $145,864 Jackpot at Slotland.com

First major jackpot win on new game with enhanced full screen graphics introduced last summer

Old faithful has paid out once again. A Slotland.com player won the $145,864 progressive jackpot at the long-popular slots and video poker site playing the Lucky Ducts online slot machine.

“I couldn’t decide which game to play. They’ve got so many now,” said the jackpot winner known as CHACHANG on the site. “I was switching from old favourites like Lucky Stars and Golden 8 and trying out some of the newer games too. I was switching around a bit until I ended up playing Lucky Ducts. It just seemed hot. It wasn’t my favourite game – not until now anyway – but it was a dark, cold winter evening and it just reminded me of summer fun and swimming.”



The winner says he hasn’t had much time to think about how he’ll spend his winnings.

“You daydream about all kinds of things you’d buy if you won, don’t you? Maybe to start with I should stick with the ‘summertime’ thing and take a holiday someplace nice and warm!”

“I like the games at Slotland,” said CHACHANG who has been playing regularly at Slotland.com since May 2008. “And the staff have always been so nice and so helpful.”

Slotland’s last big jackpot win was in January when a new player won $104K playing Booster. Since the jackpot pays out so frequently – on average every 6 to 8 weeks – regular players at the site suspected there would be a win.

Although there have been dozens of major jackpot wins at Slotland over the last few years, this is the first big win on Lucky Ducts. Lucky Ducts is a 5 reel, 19 pay line slots game with up to 50x multipliers and lots of chances to win free spins.

Launched just last summer, Lucky Ducts is one of Slotland’s newest Flash games and features enhanced full-screen graphics and special effects. Its swimming pool theme reminds winter-weary players of the golden days of summer with rubber duckies, beach balls and toy fish spinning on its watery wheels. 3 Water Faucet symbols at a time raise the Bonus Reservoir one level and increase the win multiplier to x2, x5, x10, x25 and finally x50. Players get 6 free spins when the Bonus Reservoir reaches the top level and overflows.

Slotland.com has been offering one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years. There are currently 19 instant-play casino games to choose from – none of them found at any other online casino.

The progressive jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is over $120,000.

Like the Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker and Deuces Wild games that are so popular at the site, the new game plays up to 50 hands at a time and features a special double-or-nothing bonus round.

WinADay Players Love New 'Busted' Video Slot's Bonus Game & Double Up Feature

Cops and robbers bonus round makes the fun last even longer

Busted, the latest totally one-of-a-kind video slots game at WinADayCasino.com, is a retro comic book-style cops and robbers adventure with a spine-tingling Bonus Game. Busted is three games in one: a classic 17 pay line video slot, a Double Up round and a Cops and Robbers bonus game.

For the Cops and Robbers Bonus Game, players choose to be either a Robber or a Cop and then collect symbols related to their character. When all 5 special Cop or Robber symbols have been collected the bonus game begins. The Double Up Bonus Game – a chance to double winnings from the last spin -- is triggered when the Double symbol appears on the rightmost wheel of a winning spin.



“Players usually get excited about a new game,” said manager Michael Hilary, “But we’ve really had an extraordinary response to Busted!”

“At first I thought it was just another game that wouldn’t hold my attention long,” said Harry J. “Five days later it’s taken the place of Slot 21 as my favorite game. Busted! is truly outstanding -- it plays fast and it pays great. I’ve never played a game that serves up so many wins!”

“OMG!!! I love this new game!” said Sarah T. “The graphics are so fun and clear. The option to choose the crook or the police officer when betting is so cool. But the coolest part of the game to me is the BONUS feature..... and the amount of winnings you can get.”

“Since I'm a comic book fan, this game got my attention just looking at the graphics on the loading page. I figured hey, if the rest of the game is like this it should be fun to play. Busted! didn't let me down either!” said Lisa W. “This game gives you a choice of what character you’d like to play, the good guy or the bad guy. I went crooked and picked the robber. As you spin, if you picked robber you're on the run from the police. You collect pieces that you need in order to go to the bonus round. Then in the bonus round you get to roll the dice and advance like playing a board game, but with a twist. You see your player’s every move as he tries to get away. And you can also see the law getting closer. With the music playing in the background and the action brightly highlighted its easy to get excited trying to out run the cops! Plus wherever you land you could get additional spins and great payouts. I'm simply crazy about this game. Even the music is cool!”

Like all slots games at WinADayCasino.com, the new Busted! is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot which is currently just over $100,000. As regulars at WinADay know, that means it could be due for another big jackpot payout any day now.

The creative team that develops all of WinADay’s unique games has another new one almost ready to launch. Special promotions celebrating the new Jacks or Better will be announced next week.

Busted makes 22 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, roulette and keno games at WinADayCasino.com. They’re all instant-play online casino games so there’s no downloading or installation required.

Badbeat Sponsored Players Rank in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011

Mark Maunsell takes 70th place in a field of 1,058 players

Mark Maunsell, 24, was one of two Badbeat.com sponsored poker players to cash in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011 which had a record breaking 1,058 entrants and an astounding £529,000 prize pool.

The other Badbeat.com player was Badbeat Managing Director John Conroy, who was eliminated after racing with TT against AK when down to just 15 big blinds, came in 81st and a prize of £1,375.

Mark first joined Badbeat.com as a Sponsored Player in April 2010 starting on a $300 Daily Limit and, with the support and tuition of his personal high-stakes mentor Manuel Palanca, worked his way through the levels to a $3,000 Daily Limit earning himself not only a profitable year with Badbeat.com but was awarded a PokerStars UKIPT ticket for his outstanding performance.

Mark’s mentor, Manuel, commented, “Mark played a fantastic game throughout his two days at the UKIPT Nottingham which sadly came to an end when his QQ ran into AK with the river bringing a King to eliminate Mark and put him in 70th place for a £1,585 prize. I’m still very proud of him for making it this far in such a big tournament.”

Mark Maunsell commented on his game, “This was my biggest live tournament and although it was a little nerve-wracking, my whole game was pretty solid. I just played the two cards in front of me and took it one step at a time.

Mark will be representing Badbeat.com again at the PokerStars UKIPT Manchester in March and you can keep track of him and all the Badbeat players who are entering by following them on Twitter (@BadbeatLimited), Facebook, the Badbeat Blog (blog.badbeat.com) or at www.badbeat.com.

Texan Wins $20k Jackpot Playing Loose Caboose Online Slot Machine at US-friendly GrandeVegasCasino.com

Several million dollar progressive jackpots still begging to be won!

Last week Deborah W. from Houston has won $20,139 playing the Loose Caboose online slot machine at GrandeVegasCasino.com.  The US-friendly online casino has more than $5 million in progressive jackpots waiting to be won – and that doesn’t even count all the random jackpots available -- so it should come as no surprise that a regular player walked away with more than $20K after an evening of slots just the other night.

“I win a little here and there, but never anything like this!” said Deborah W. “I like to play in slots tournaments, and Loose Caboose is one that Grande Vegas uses for tournaments, so I’ve played it a lot. Just goes to show, you just never know!”
Loose Caboose is a 25-pay line, 5-reel video slot game with a top jackpot of 5000x the line bet, paid out when five Engineer symbols appear on an active pay line. The Caboose is the Scatter symbol and three or more trigger the Cash Train Bonus Game where free spins can be won. Other symbols of trains from the Wild West include an engine, conductor and ticket.

While progressive jackpots require players to spin a specific combination of symbols after placing a maximum bet, the Loose Caboose jackpot – like several others at Grande Vegas, is a “random” jackpot. This means that any player can hit the jackpot any time, regardless of how much they’ve bet or what they spin.

The biggest progressive jackpots at GrandeVegasCasino.com are the biggest jackpot available to American players. Jackpot Pinatas is currently over $1.6 million. Other million dollar jackpots are the Aztec’s Millions ($1.2 million) and the Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree ($1,055,000). Cleopatra’s Gold is worth over a quarter million.

GrandeVegasCasino.com is famous for its generous bonuses and VIP comps. Players automatically earn 1 free comp point for every $10 wagered. 100 comp points are equivalent to $1 real money that can be wagered or withdrawn.

In addition to their $100 Welcome Bonus, Grande Vegas Casino gives players up to another $200 in deposit bonus money every month (coupon code GRFEB11). Once a month players can also collect up to $140 with the Lifestyle Bonus (coupon code for February: ROMEO). By cashing in on special Monday, mid-month, midweek and “Wild Vegas” bonuses players can get hundreds more in free bonus cash.

Grande Vegas Casino is a state-of-the-art online casino owned by Tigress Management Ltd. It offers hundreds of popular online casino games and several million dollar slot machine progressive jackpots. GrandeVegas.com welcomes players from around the world, including the United States.

Poker staking is an important part of the modern professional poker ecosystem, with many of today’s top and up-and-coming poker talents enjoying the financial backing of a major online poker operator. Indeed, most of the game’s biggest stars find their way to the main event tables of major tournaments this way, but at a more real-world level, Badbeat.com sponsored players enjoy the type of practical staking that helps their game develop without risking the loss of their own finances.

As part of their Q1 recruitment drive, Badbeat.com is scouting for players. Winning No Limit Hold’em cash game players at $0.25/$0.50 or above, or winning tournament player at $20 buy-in or above and can prove so with statistics such as Hold'em Manager or Shark Scope, can register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route One’ application form found in the “Get Sponsored” page at www.badbeat.com.

Low Stakes Cash Players (lower than $0.25/$0.50) you can still apply to become a Badbeat Sponsored Player as follows: -

• Downloading PokerTime and creating an account;
• Downloading the innovative MyPokerLab software and register using your PokerTime account details;
• Depositing to PokerTime account and playing at least 5,000 real money cash hands.

Once players have at least 5,000 hands recorded in their MyPokerLab account, they can then register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route Two’ application form.

Why would a winning player would need staking? Many players don’t like risking their own money when just a few bad beats and lost coin flips can turn a winning session into one that decimates a bankroll. Badbeat.com provides its sponsored poker players with a fixed amount of money per day to eliminate their personal risk at the tables, freeing them up to play their ‘A-game’. Poker staking often comes to the aid of those with limited financial funding who are struggling to progress because their play is dictated by the size of their bankroll (risk), but would have the potential to move up the levels once freed up.

Players that can beat the lower stakes games but can’t afford to lose your bankroll taking a shot at the big games, and winners that struggle with bankroll management and go on Isildur1-like runs of swings well outside their comfort zone, can change their life and give the big time a shot by applying for the Badbeat.com staking system where world class poker mentors will guide them to their own pro poker career.

Bidibot Implements Special Features to Accommodate New Bidders

Win limits and specially designated auctions give more online poker and casino players a chance to win

Just like poker, winning a Bidibot penny auction takes both luck and strategy. Since it can take some practice and learning to bid and win against more experienced bidders, Bidibot has incorporated some special features just for newbies. Auctions designated “Max Bids” and “Unlucky Bidders” and “No Bot” help level the playing field. Limits on number of auctions won now make it possible for even more poker and casino game players to buy credits for a fraction of their value.

“We want to accommodate all kinds of customers so, based on feedback we’ve received, we’ve implemented some important changes,” said poker pro and Bidibot founder John Tabatabai. “Win limits and specially designated auctions help ensure everyone has a fair chance of winning.”

Bidibot is an online penny auction site that auctions credits at popular online poker and casino sites. $25, $30 and even $50 in credits usually sell for less than $5. With such incredible bargains to be had, competition can be fierce and many bidders have developed smart strategies. The site does have a “Strategy” section to help new bidders develop their own winning strategy while win limits and special auctions give them an opportunity to hone their bidding skills.

Maxbid auctions, for example, are designed to restrict the number of bids placed per user, reducing the competition and giving new bidders a better chance of winning. The maximum number of bids allowed is illustrated on the Max Bids icon. And Unlucky Bidder auctions are open only to bidders that have never won a Bidibot auction. These auctions are a great place to start bidding against other newcomers.

This week special auctions for Valentine's offer a wide range of consumer goods including televisions, iPods and cameras plus vouchers for Top Shop and spa breaks – and they’ll all likely sell for pennies on the dollar.

Bidibot auctions credits for leading poker and casino sites including Poker Stars, UltimateBet, 888Poker, Absolute Poker, Titan Poker, Victory Poker, JackpotCity, JackpotJoy, Sportsbook.com, PartyBingo and DiceArena. Chilipoker, RPM and Slotland credits are also now available at the only online penny auction site for gamblers.

Bluff Europe Super Tour 'Champion of Champions' Crowned in Paris Next Week

The top European players of 2010 meet at the ACF on 8th February to find out who really is the best of the B.E.S.T.

4 February 2011 (London, UK) -- Throughout 2010 Bluff Europe Magazine tracked the results from over 75 of Europe’s most prestigious tournaments, and the performance of thousands of poker players across the continent, in order to determine the Bluff Europe Super Tour (B.E.S.T.) Player of the Year. The best of the B.E.S.T. play 8th February in Paris to crown the Champion of Champions.

The Bluff Europe Super Tour comprises a special selection of £500-buy-in and above events. The ranking system is determined by a formula that considers the buy-in and the number of entrants in each tournament and only considers tournaments with real international stature. This forumula rewards skill over luck and determines, what the magazine feels, is the most accurate measure of tournament poker players in Europe.

Dutchman Paul Berende topped a ranking system that’s designed to reward consistency rather than one hit wonders, and Paul’s consistent deep finishes in large-field, high-buy-in tournaments were enough to seal the deal.

The top ten players of 2010 will converge on the Aviation Club de France in Paris for an all-star SNG tournament to determine the best of the B.E.S.T. The winner of the tournament will not only receive a seat at the WPT Paris Main Event, worth €5k, but also the trophy, a spot on the front cover of Bluff Europe and the title of Champion of Champions.

The SNG kicks off at 4pm at the ACF on 8th Feb, and, as well Berende, will include big players from countries across Europe, including Nicolas Levi, Emanuele Rugini, Per Linde, Matt Perrins, Craig McCorkell, Steven Van Zaddelhoff and James Mitchell.

Bluff Europe Editor Philip Conneller said, “2010 was the first year of the B.E.S.T. rankings and we feel that they’re the most equitable ranking system in Europe. They’re designed to reward consistency in difficult, high buy-in tournaments and we feel that’s the true mark of a great tournament player. The B.E.S.T Champion of Champions event is the exciting culmination of a fantastic year of European poker.”
