Regular winner better off to the tune of $134,385 after winning Progressive Jackpot.
Thursday 18th February 2010
One lucky player at Slotland.com has every reason to believe in “Magic” after hitting its Progressive Jackpot on a slot of the same name. The player, who goes by the name of SURFSIDESID, collected a mammoth payout of $134,385 after playing on the genie inspired slot game “Magic”.
SURFSIDESID has been a regular player at Slotland.com for the past three years and has experienced some big payouts in the past but nothing to match this massive win.
“I do play slots a lot, and I do win often enough to keep me going,” said SURFSIDESID when Slotland’s manager called him to congratulate him. “I’ve never won anything anywhere near this though, that’s for sure!”
“I tend to play a lot for awhile, and then I give it a break for awhile,” said the player. “I was thinking it was about time for a break but, as luck would have it, I decided to take just a few spins that day. I think I’ll take a break now though, to spend some of this money!”
After a trio of big Progressive Jackpot payouts in the autumn there was a lull of around nine weeks before SURFSIDESID’s bumper win, the largest since October. The Jackpot is usually hit before it reaches the $200,000 mark but it has on occasion beaten that figure with British dad FORMOGO collecting $200,011 on the Heavy Metal slot in early 2009. In fact 2009 proved to be a record-breaking year as far as payouts were concerned with $799,309 being paid out in Progressive Jackpots with a further $68,500 given away in end of year draws.
The big Progressive Jackpot can be won on any of Slotland.com’s slot machines. Big payouts have been awarded to players on Heavy Metal, Mega Spin, Slotris, Jacks or Better and Treasure Box with Magic breaking its duck thanks to SURFSIDESID’s big win.
The Progressive Jackpot was reset to $50,000 after the recent payout and is already on the way up.
