The wait has been a little longer than usual but Slotland’s progressive jackpot has just been hit for $168,947. A player known as “MRSSMITHS” won the jackpot playing the Booster slot machine.
Historically, Slotland’s progressive jackpot is hit fairly regularly – about every six weeks – for just over $100,000. Lately, it’s taking a little longer to be hit but the last few winners have won much bigger jackpots.
The progressive jackpot can be played on any of Slotland’s unique online slot machines or video poker games, which are available on mobile phones and PDAs as well as online. That means you’re able to win on the move as well as being sat in front of your computer at home. The progressive jackpots are simple enough, with 10% of each wager on the progressive being added to the jackpot pool. Since all the games on the site are tied to the same jackpot the value can increase very quickly and to very large amounts.
In March, a lucky Canadian player won the biggest Slotland progressive jackpot ever: $195,083 (€126,910), while JAMKAT2 won a $113,418 (€89,067) progressive jackpot playing “Treasure Box” last year. That’s just two examples of Slotland’s huge payouts in recent times.
Reset at $50,000 after each win, Slotland.com’s progressive jackpot is already back up to nearly $100,000 (€45,000).
