Retired Grandmother Wins $175,812 Jackpot at Slotland

Winner prefers the quiet and comfort of playing at home over the noise and smoke of Las Vegas casinos

The avid slots player said she used to enjoy going to casinos in Las Vegas but nowadays prefers the comfort and convenience of online slot machines. 

“Maybe I am just getting too old, but within thirty minutes of getting inside a casino, I get a headache with all the noise and music blasting around me,” said the lucky winner.  “For over five years, Slotland has been one of my little pleasures.”

The night of her big win was lucky from the start when the first hand she was dealt was a Full House in the first round. Although she’d started with small bets she took this as a good sign and increased her bets to $10. After a few more good hands she’d turned her $200 deposit into $500 in no time at all.

“In the next five hands, I ended up with a straight, 3 of a kind (twice), a dead hand, and a beautiful four of a kind,” QAZMLP recalled about the night that changed her life. “With some nice music in the background, and my drink on the desk, and breathing smoke-free air, who wouldn’t be happy?”

“I honestly lost track of time with the best winning streak I ever had at Slotland but by the time I was dealt out the ultimate hand (I got the Ace, Queen, Jack and 10 of Spades and pulled up the King of Spades), I was almost at $1,300.  With the $175,000 jackpot, I ended up with over $177,000.

QAZLAP plans to pay off the last $30,000 on her house and then take a trip-of-a-lifetime to Japan via Hawaii. 

“Don’t tell anyone yet, but each of my seven grandchildren will get wallets this Christmas, each one filled with ten $100 bills!”

WinADay.com 3D Casino Jackpot Getting Bigger, Faster -- Currently Over $100K

More games and more players than ever mean jackpots are being won more frequently

The progressive jackpot at 3D casino WinADay.com has just gone over $100,000 and players at the unique slots and video poker site are getting the feeling that the next big jackpot win could happen any day.

There aren’t a lot of statistics to base that feeling on. Although it’s operated by one of the oldest online slots sites (Slotland.com) WinADay.com just celebrated its first birthday this summer and has only had four major jackpot winners to date.

So far, the jackpot at WinADay.com has been rising to about $150,000 before someone gets lucky and wins it.  There’s also usually been about three months between wins, too, and it’s only been a month and a half since the last one. So it may be a bit premature to expect the next win to be imminent.

“Gamblers often go a lot by hunches,” said Ondrej Tuma of WinADay.com.  “Of course we have no idea when the jackpot will be won but in the past when a jackpot gets to six figures that’s when we really start to see a lot of players betting max and going for it. Of course, that makes the jackpot grow even faster!”

The last jackpot winner at WinADay.com was Marlieska won $153,977 in August playing the new Vegas Mania. Monica68 won WinADay’s very first big jackpot, ($148,724 (€116,200), on the Wheeler Dealer slot machine. Then, right after the single-payline Slot-O-Matic was launched, “123jaki” played it to win $159,660 (€123,620). In May BONDGIRL won $100, 224 (€73,970) – the second big jackpot to be won on the Wheeler Dealer.

The progressive jackpot at WinADay’s parent site, Slotland.com, has risen to over $160,000 and is also teasing players with the prospect of a very big win on the very next spin.

Our Progressive Jackpot Tempts Fate as it Soars Over $160,000

Slotland.com Has Paid Out $8,456,375 in Progressive Jackpot’s in Our 11 Year History

As we continue to celebrate our 11th birthday this month, our progressive jackpot is still begging to be won. Since our pioneering slots and video poker site first introduced the world to online slot machines 11 years ago this month, we've had 87 big jackpot winners and we've paid out a total of $8,456,375 in progressive jackpot winnings.

“Our jackpots might not reach millions of dollars before they are won, but since they are won so regularly and so frequently for six-figure amounts, players feel more like they actually have a chance to win, I think,” said Ondrej Tuma of Slotland.com.

One of the reasons our jackpots hit 100,000 so quickly is that we reset them to $50,000 each time they’re won. The progressive jackpot option is very popular with Slotland’s many loyal players so a high proportion of them bet max to be eligible to win it. With so many players contributing, the jackpot pool grows rapidly.

We recently launched our 14th original online slot machine at Slotland.com, the Reel Riot. The kitchy Reel Riot is a single payline slot machine that Slotland has revved up to the max by including a “Double Wild” bonus symbol and by making it possible to hold any reel for the next spin.

Slotland.com now offers fifteen one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Six of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of our slot machines give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at winning the progressive jackpot.

Our 3D casino, WinADay.com, has a separate progressive jackpot of its own. The jackpot there, where the new video poker game “Deuces Wild” was just launched, is currently over $100,000.
