3D Casino Staff Love Pixar’s First 3D Movie, UP!

3D animated movie is life-changing experience for online casino staff member

When WinADay 3D casino ’s animated staff went to see Pixar’s 3D animated movie, UP! last weekend, none of them realised what a life changing experience it would be. UP! is a animated comedy adventure about a 78-year old balloon salesman who finally fulfils his lifelong dream of a great adventure by tying thousands of balloons to his house and flying it to South America. The three-dimensional animated movie inspired at least one of WinADay’s 3D casino staff members to live her dream as well.

“WinADay is such a fun place to work,” said Amanda who has been a Customer Service Assistant at the 3D casino since it opened last year. “All the animated staff I work with are great, and our guests are always having such a good time playing our slot machines and video poker games. I’m so happy here I never thought much about what’s outside the casino!”

“Seeing UP! has inspired me to live my dreams!” she continued after seeing the movie. “You know, everyone here has a dream. All the players – they’re dreaming of hitting a jackpot and dreaming about how they’d spend all that money if they won it. And really, I’m part of their dreams!”

“I do have a dream of my own though,” confessed Amanda. “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to fly. The day after I saw UP! I registered for lessons. I’m going to learn to be a pilot! My dream is coming true!”

Since opening WinADay.com a year ago, we've added four new games to the original three one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games in the three-dimensional lobby. An eighth game – a new video poker game – will launch this summer.

There have been three six-figure progressive jackpot winners at WinADay.com since it launched. Since the jackpot recently went over $100,000, and is usually hit before it tops $150,000, the next big winner could be any day now.

Slotland Jackpot Loosens Up, Produces Second Winner in a Month

$80,369 won playing Slotris within weeks of $169,923 win on Megaspin

Less than a month after our last big progressive jackpot winner, the Slotland jackpot has already been hit again. A player known as MARMOTLUV won $80,369 playing one of our newer online slot machines, the Slotris.

“I used to love playing Tetris as a kid so I’ve enjoyed playing Slotris ever since it was added to Slotland,” said the excited winner. “I’ve won lots of smaller amounts over the years I’ve been playing at Slotland, but I never dreamed I’d actually win such a huge jackpot! The money is already in my bank account – but not for long!”



For years our jackpot was famous for being hit every six weeks or so, usually for between $100 and $150K. This isn’t the first time that the wins have happened more frequently than that though. Last fall there were three six-figure jackpots in a row so this latest win could be the part of a continuing loose jackpot trend.

Of course there’s no predicting when a jackpot will be won. Every time a player places a bet that qualifies for the progressive jackpot (a max bet is required in most games) part of their wager goes to the progressive jackpot pool. That pool keeps growing until someone hits the jackpot.

Since all 16 games at Slotland contribute to the same jackpot pool, it can grow very quickly. After a young couple won a $169,923 jackpot playing the new Megaspin game in July, the jackpot was reset to $50,000 and quickly rose to the $80K prize just won.

Slotris, a Tetris-like online slot machine that launched last year, is two games in one, both inspired by the popular game of falling-blocks considered by some to be the best video game ever. The wheels on the Slotris online slot machine spin the familiar multi-coloured cubes and the same squares fall into place on the grid of the adjacent bonus game puzzle -- just like the video game that has mesmerized millions for decades.

There are two ways to win Slotris. There’s a traditional three-wheel single payline slot line with spinning symbols – coloured blocks rather than cherries. When three matching symbols line up, the player wins. But the coloured boxes don’t just spin on the slot machine wheels. Afterward, the same symbols fall into place in the grid beside the slot machine. Players can win this bonus game by guiding the blocks into place. Every solid-colour line multiplies the player’s bet and ten lines wins the jackpot.

We currently feature thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of our games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot.

In August we'll introduce another new slot machine. The “Reel Riot” is a single payline slot machine with a “Double Wild” bonus symbol and a special “hold” feature that strategic slots players will love.

The jackpot at Slotland is currently over $64,000. Meanwhile at our 3D casino, WinADay.com, the jackpot is over $130,000 and many players believe it is overdue for a win.

Our 3D Casino Jackpot Has Topped $100,000

Fourth Six-Figure Winner This Year Could Be at Any Moment

The progressive jackpot at our 3D online casino, WinADay.com, has just topped $100,000. If it’s anything like the jackpot on its parent site, Slotland.com, that could mean it’s about due for a big win! However, with its animated casino staff and one-of-a-kind games, there really is no other online casino quite like WinADay.com, so it’s anyone’s guess just how high it will go.

This is the fourth time this year that the WinADay.com progressive jackpot has gone over $100,000. Last time, it was won shortly after it hit the magic six figure mark, but the other two times it kept climbing to $148K and $159K before it was won.

All of the slot machines and video poker games at WinADay.com 3D casino are tied to one large jackpot pool. The next big win could be on any of the games, but since two of the first three big jackpots were won playing the Wheeler Dealer, that slot machine is getting a reputation for being lucky.

“Some players think that the Wheeler Dealer must be lucky, since it’s already had two big jackpots. Others think it’s more likely the next win will be on any other game next time,” said Ondrej Tuma of WinADay.com. “Technically, of course, as long as you’re making the required bet, you could win the progressive jackpot playing any of our games.”

WinADay’s biggest jackpot to date was won on the Wheeler Dealer. In January, Monica68 won €116,200 ($148,724) playing that nine reel, eight pay line slot machine.

The WinADay.com 3D Games Lobby features seven no-download, instant-play Flash games that won’t be found at any other online casino. There is nothing to download or install so players can start having fun as soon as they arrive.

WinADay.com will launch a new video poker game called Deuces Wild later this summer.
