The $95,775 Secret is Out

It’s been a couple of weeks already since a retired widow named Melissa C. won a $95,775  progressive jackpot at WinADay Casino -- and she still hasn’t told anyone but her best friend and her cat!  Well, not until now at least  ;)

Boy, are her other friends and family in for a big surprise!

“First I screamed and then sat for a few minutes in total amazement, not really able to believe it,” Melissa told Thomas, a customer support rep at WinADay.

“I’ve only told my best friend so far,” she said yesterday. “I'm preparing a massive surprise for the family and the grand children though!”

Melissa hit the jackpot playing the new Olympus slot. Olympus, WinADay’s first 5x4 slot, is a Greek-themed game where the gods of the ancient world reign supreme. Three bonus features increase players’ winnings with extra Wilds and free spins with up to 5X multipliers. A Mystery symbol awards instant cash bonuses.

$95K progressive jackpot is second jackpot win this spring.

“Fuzzy, my cat, was the first one I shared my joy with. He’s always around me so he usually gets all the good news first.”

Melissa’s had some nice wins at Win A Day and its sister site, Slotland, over the years – but nothing like this jackpot.

“I've been a player for many years, so this wasn't really a beginner's luck. I don't really have any strategies. I set up a gambling allowance and stick to it. I play to have fun. I love playing slots with extra bonus rounds.”

The lucky winner plans to do some house repairs and put some of the money away for her grand children’s college tuition.

“I'm also planning a big family reunion and I want to go to Florida with a few friends in the summer – someplace we can play cards and enjoy some slots!”

It’s only been a couple of months since WinADay’s site-wide progressive jackpot was won. In March, Diane B won $182,430 playing the Tropical Treat slot game.

With the recent launch of the new Ice Crystals slot, a deluxe game with a Trailing Wild, WinADay Casino now has 33 one-of-a-kind premium slots and 18 unique penny slots. With video poker, Keno and Roulette there are 63 one-of-a-kind casino games in all. Most are great on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. Next month WinADay will celebrate it’s 10th birthday with new games and lots of birthday bonuses.

With increased wins for all four-of-a-kind hands and big payouts on four-of-a-kind Aces, Double Bonus video poker rivals Jacks or Better video poker in popularity with video poker players. The variance is also double Jacks or Better, so it's more volatile.  There's bigger ups and downs.

Video: $10 Freebie to Try Slotland's New Double Bonus Video Poker

Double Bonus Poker rivals Jacks or Better but pays out better for 4-of-a-kind

To begin play in Double Bonus Poker players first choose how many coins to wager. With coins valued at $.10 to $5 each, a minimum one coin bet is just a dime and the max bet is $25 per hand. To build the best poker hand possible, they can hold up to five cards in the next deal.  A Royal Flush is the highest paying hand with a payout of 800X when a max bet has been placed.

After any win that’s more than the bet, players take their winnings or take a chance to double them. In the Double Up round, they’re dealt five cards, one face up and the others face down. After selecting a card, all of the cards are turned over. If they’ve picked the highest card, their win is doubled.

“With so many new video poker games added lately,” laughed Michael Hilary, the manager of Slotland.  “Maybe we should change our name to Videopokerland!”

A pioneer in real money online slots for more than 17 years, Slotland now has 40 unique casino games, most compatible with Apple and Android phones and tablets.

Intertops Satellite Tournament Winner Wins 2nd TKPT Title

Five online players won their way to TKPT St Maarten last month in satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker. Although none of them did particularly well in the tournament they did have some great opportunities to get out of the casino and enjoy some of the fun-in-the-sun that St Maarten has to offer.  They were definitely living the dream as they spent their free time ziplining, singing karaoke and partying at the One Love reggae night during St Maarten’s Carnival celebrations.

A player who won his way to TKPT last year, and returned to defend his title, won the three-day tournament.  Akash Mazumdar won $17,000 for his second TKPT St Maarten win.



TKPT Main Event Final Results
Position    NAME                           COUNTRY            Stack

Online satellite tournaments currently running at Intertops and Juicy Stakes will send winners to the European Poker Championships at CAPT Velden in Austria this summer.

Online Players Strike Out at TKPT St Maarten but Enjoy Some Fun-in-the-Sun

On my Living the Dream poker blog I followed five online players (Chris Perkins, Tim O’Keefe, John Curcuru, Elena Stover and Gabor Krecso) competing in the TKPT St Maarten tournament in the Caribbean April 27 – May 1.  Although none of the team survived Day 2 of the three-day tournament – not even Elena Stover who came to the Caribbean right after her second place ($148,000) second place finish at the Borgata Million in Atlantic City the week before – they did enjoy some fun-in-the-sun. And a couple of the group’s friends did advance to the final table.

Chris’ buddy Brian Kulp not only survived Day 2, but he went into the Final Table as the chip leader.  Akash Mazumdar, who won his way to TKPT St Maarten in an Intertops satellite tournament last year, returned to defend his title and ended up hanging out with the Living the Dream team quite a bit. He went on to win the tournament for the second time.  Kulp was more than pleased with his 4th place finish and the $670 he took home to Pittsburgh with him.

During the Day 2 dinner break, John Curcuru talked about an unusual ruling that almost through him off but, in the end, worked in his favor.

“It was a natural raise in any kind of casino any place else but the dealer said right away ‘sir, that’s not a raise’.  I was unhappy with the ruling, but it turned out to be in my favor because the guy to my left had pocket Kings and he was just waiting for the ruling to be over with!”

“On day 2 of the TKPT Main Event, I had an amazing table draw,” said Chris Perkins, one of the five Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker players that won their way to TKPT St Maarten in online satellite tournaments.  “I was opening a lot of pots and taking them down without showdown.  I chipped up from 37k to over 55k within the first 30 minutes.  I then ran into a hand that defined my tournament.  The villain limped from MP.  He had been playing like an amateur, limping a lot and folding to 3 bets and cbets too often.  The CO was a competent player that had 10BB remaining at 400/800.  He goes all in behind the limper and I have 55 in the BB.  Because I was so deep and knew there was a good chance the original limper would fold, I decided to call and take a flip against the short stack.  But the original limper decided to call behind.  The flop came Qx5s4x.  We hit our set and were loving life.  At this point, I am just praying the original limper has some sort of Queen because I knew he could never get away from it.  I check.  He bets 15K into a 30K+ pot.  I call with about 30K behind.  The turn was the 3 of spades (Qx 5s 4x 3s).  I made a small donk bet of 10K on the turn and he called fairly quickly.   I decide to check and hope to get to showdown, but the original limper wasted no time going all in for another 20K and putting our entire stack at risk.  There was 100K in the pot including his river all in!   I didn’t think this player would be smart enough to bluff this river so I decided to muck my hand.  The villain turns over 10 10, the short stack mucking his hand, and said ‘I knew the only way I could win the hand was by bluffing.’  He was defiantly right and I like his river jam.”

“If that river is any other card besides a deuce, I would have been cruising through day 2 as chip leader or close to it,” he said.  “I ended up getting knocked out of the tournament soon after this hand and although I was disappointed, I was at a beautiful resort in St. Maarten, so I couldn’t complain too much.!”

John Curcuru played a lot of poker over 3 days but said one of the most interesting hands was with Chris Perkins, another Intertops satellite winner.

Tomorrow we’ll have the final episode of Living the Dream: TKPT St Maarten which will feature final results of the tournament.

TKPT Day 2: No Survivors

I'm still in the Caribbean this week with five online poker players that won satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker to play in the TKPT tournament here in St Maarten.

Unfortunately, none of our team survived Day 2 of TKPT -- but a couple of friends did advance to the Final Table tonight.

In fact, Chris' friend Brian Kulp, who was the star of our karaoke video the other night, is the chip leader going into the Final Table! We've also been hanging out with Akash Mazumba who won TKPT last year after winning his way to that tournament in an Intertops satellite tournament. He'll be at the Final Table again this year.

In today's episode, John Curcuru talks about an unusual ruling that almost through him off but, in the end, worked in his favor.

Living the Dream Team Prepares for TKPT Main Event

This week I'm in the Caribbean with five players who all won their way to TKPT St Maarten in online satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker or Juicy Stakes Poker.  We arrived yesterday and the Main Event starts tonight. Last night they had a chance to check out their competition by playing in a smaller warm-up tournament – and by having a little fun at a local cantina!

Tim and Chris, who were both with us in Austria a couple months ago, were a little surprised at how aggressively their European competition played. They’re thinking things might be a little more relaxed here…

Check back for my report on Day 1 at TKPT St Maarten on the Living the Dream poker blog when I’ll introduce you to the prettiest member of our team, Elena Stover, who arrived late last night, hot off her second place finish at the Borgata Million last week.

Golden Euro Mobile Casino features some of the casino’s most popular casino games in a format designed for the smaller screens of smartphones and tablets.

Wonder Win and Captain Jackpot Fight for Casino Justice for All during $90,000 Casino Bonus Event

This month, the super heroes at Jackpot Capital Casino are fighting for casino justice for all during the $90,000 Superhero Club casino bonuses event. In their constant battle against boring games and stingy casino bonuses, Wonder Win and her fellow of super heroes, Iron Slot and Captain Jackpot, will be helping frequent players win $17,000 in weekly prizes and will be randomly awarding another $5000 every week so that everyone has a chance to win. Additional cash prizes will be awarded to the casino’s Facebook Friends as well.

Jackpot Capital players earn points when they play in the online casino or in the mobile casino. Top point earners get weekly bonuses up to $600. Everyone that plays even a little qualifies for randomly awarded prizes every Friday.

The randomly awarded bonuses on Fridays give players a chance to play more through the weekend and improve their Scoreboard ranking and qualify for bigger bonuses during Monday bonusing.

“The more you play, the bigger your bonuses will be” said casino manager Oliver Smith. “But with $5000 awarded randomly every week, everyone has a chance to win.”

TKPT St Maarten: Serious Poker & Serious Fun

Next week, I'm going to a big poker tournament with a group of online poker players that won their way to the Caribbean. They'll be playing in the Main Event at the TKPT tournament in St Maarten. Like I did when we took other online satellite tournament winners to Punta Cana and to Seefeld, Austria, I'll be publishing a series of videos starting April 27th.

The web video series will follow five online satellite tournament winners from Intertops Poker  and Juicy Stakes Poker competing in the TKPT Caribbean Main Event.

This is the third time we’ve taken a bunch of online tournament winners to a big live tournament. It’s interesting to watch the guys adjust to the different kinds of players they encounter at international tournaments. Tim and Chris were with us at CAPT Seefeld so it’ll be good to hang out with them again!

I'll be hanging out with the five online players -- Tim O'Keefe, Chris Perkins, Elena Stover, John Curcurcu and Gabor Kresco -- as they compete in the Main Event and as they enjoy everything else the tropical paradise has to offer.



In the preview video, tournament organizer Thomas Kremser talks about what to expect next week.

“The tournament attracts both professional and recreational players from around the world. It's serious poker,” said Kremser, “but there’s also be some serious fun to be had!”

Kremser is organizing island excursions for players like zip lining, ATV touring and a party bus with DJ and open bar.

In February, I went with Living the Dream to CAPT Seefeld in Austria with a group of online satellite tournament winners. Before that, we went to CPT Punta Cana. The next poker adventure will be in July when winners of current online satellite tournaments will go to the European Poker Championships at CAPT Velden in Austria.
