Slotland Casino Progressive Jackpot Pays out Again
Slotland Casino, the industry leading online casino, was pleased to announce that a lucky player had won the site’s frequently-hitting progressive jackpot. The player, an anonymous man from Canada, played the Wild Heart video poker game at the site, and was thrilled to discover that he was the latest winner – this time of a $107,000 windfall. The progressive jackpot links the majority of the slots and video poker titles at Slotland.com, meaning that the jackpot is hit much more often than jackpots found at other sites. “I know some jackpots go years or months without a win but ours is won quite frequently,” said Michael Hilary, Manager for Slotland.com. “We don’t usually have to wait very long between wins but we were pretty surprised to have another big jackpot winner again so soon.”
The winner seemed to be in a state of shock after the win and could not make any decisions regarding what he planned to do with the money, besides in very general terms. “Believe me, I’ve often daydreamed about what I’d do if I won a jackpot,” he said. “Now that it’s happened I can't remember any of the wonderful things I wanted to do. I’ll probably donate some to a good cause and invest some of it. But I’m also going to buy a few treats for my wife and myself.”
Betfair Running Super Soccer Promotion
Betfair, the UK sports betting giant, has announced a fantastic new promotion that will see very lucky winners represent their teams at Old Trafford and Camp Nou. The Betfair Penalty Champions presents players with a once in a lifetime opportunity to don their teams’ shirts and take to the field in a penalty shootout during half time of a first team match. Ten lucky qualifiers will be given a penalty master class by a club legend at the training grounds. Head to head penalty shootouts will be filmed and shown online, and the public will vote on the best penalties. The top three performers from each side will then wear their club shirts and perform at Old Trafford and Camp Nou in the two-legged European competition.
“Manchester United and FC Barcelona are two of the biggest clubs in the world,” said the Head of UK Marketing at Betfair, Matt Booth. “As partners of both, this campaign is a great way of giving money-can’t-buy opportunities back to our customers.”
“Every fan will want to be the envy of their friends and represent their club at two of the finest stadiums in world football,” he added. “Hopefully the pressure won’t get to them and we’ll see some fantastic spot kicks!”
