Windows Casino Player Wins Big on Slot Game

It seems that the Swedes have monopolized Lady Luck this week, after a second player from this Scandinavian country claimed a top jackpot prize at Windows Casino. The Playtech powered casino announced last week that Robert N. had won €29,938 while playing eight different slot games at this site. He was so thrilled with his win that he decided to spread the word about the excellent payouts at WindowCasino.com, including to a friend, Julia M., also from Sweden. It was the best advice that Julia had ever taken when she decided to open an account at Windows Casino and start playing. Just a few days later, she hit the jackpot on two exciting games, Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World and The Incredible Hulk.

According to a statement issued by Windows Casino: “We enjoy it when new casino players and loyal casino players win at the WindowsCasino.com.

“Windows Casino has for many years provided entertainment to Swedish casino players and hopes to for many more years to come. What marks these two wins apart is that both of these slot players won these amounts playing a variety of slot games and did not hit a progressive slot jackpot.”

It was important for the online casino to stress that players “do actually win on the casino”, and invited players from around the world to try out its wide range of slots and other games.
