TEXASTEASER HITS THE JACKPOT

4 April 2008

Canadian player collects a $200 000 bonanza on progressive slot


The bank balance of a Canadian online gambler is almost $200 000 healthier this week following a major slot jackpot score at the Slotland online casino.

“It’s hard to resist when the jackpot gets to big numbers like that,” said a company spokesman. “Lots of players play a little more when they feel like there’s going to be a big jackpot winner any second. They want it to be them! So we’d been very busy in the days before the win.”

Using the online nom de plume "TexasTeaser", the lucky player, who has been a regular at the casino for the past 5 years, said: “I usually stick with video poker. I don’t know what made me think I should take a spin or two on the slots that day instead, but I’m sure glad I did!”

TexasTeaser won the biggest Slotland progressive jackpot yet recorded when he took home $195 083 after playing Treasure Box. The game has proved to be one of the most popular slots on the site, with "Jamcat2" winning a $113 418 progressive jackpot last year. Prior to this springtime windfall, the biggest jackpot ever won at Slotland was $179 166 won by "TopNotched" playing the Golden 8 slot machine last May.

Re-set at $50 000 after each win, Slotland.com’s progressive jackpot is already back up to over $70 000.
