Player from Spin Palace Casino is Winner of Mega Moolah Jackpot
Which online casino generated the massive $4.1 million jackpot win on the Mega Moolah progressive slot game last week? This was the question on everyone’s lips as a number of online casinos stepped forward to claim that the jackpot was won at their sites. Microgaming had to set the record straight and announced in a statement that the online casino where the win took place as actually Spin Palace Casino. "I am delighted that the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was won on 29th August, and can confirm that even though the win has been claimed by a number of different casinos, it was in fact won by a player on Spin Palace Casino," said the Chief Executive Officer of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever.
The winner of the jackpot, who has been identified only by her Spin Palace pseudonym, Mrs. P., has been reluctant to step forward and make her big win public. As such, Spin Palace Casino could only say: “This is a substantial win, and understandably Mrs. P. is overwhelmed by what will undoubtedly be a life-changing windfall. We are currently in discussions with her, and will hopefully be able to make further announcements shortly.”

New NFL Promotion Launched at Sportsbook.com
NFL season is the hottest thing happening at sportsbetting sites at the moment, and Sportsbook .com has launched a promotion to match the excitement. The NFL Survivor Pool could make one player $50,000 richer simply for predicting the team that will win each week, for an initial outlay of only $25. The competition works on a weekly basis and if players get through to the next week, they pay a new entry fee. The more times the player enters, the cheaper the entry fees get.
The promotion works like this: Players chose a team they think will win their game outright that week. It is sufficient for the team to simply win the game and they don’t need to cover the spread. Should the team win, the player proceeds to the next week and picks another team who he thinks will win their game that week. Should the team lose, however, the player is out of the competition. There is a catch to this promotion – players cannot pick the same team twice. Once a team has been picked one week, it cannot be picked again for the rest of the season!
