RECORD MOBILE CASINO WIN @ SLOTLAND
Gadget freak wins $163 000 mobile online casino jackpot
What is thought to be the largest win yet on a mobile casino gambling wager took place this week at Slotland.com when a Texan using the handle "OlympiaGold" won $163,114 playing the Lucky Stars slot machine.
"Our jackpot is hit every six weeks or so" said spokesperson Hannah Morante. "Not only is this the first time it's been won by someone using a mobile phone, it's also our biggest jackpot ever, breaking our previous record of $162,514."
OlympiaGold said: "I am a gadget freak! I love all sorts of electronic stuff, and so of course I have a nice mobile phone with all the extras. I wasn't even aware that you could gamble on your mobile phone until a friend of mine introduced me to Slotland's mobile casino games."
The Texas resident began playing mobile games last September when Slotland launched on the new mobile gambling platform. The online casino boasts three mobile slots now and a new one is added every couple of months, says a spokesperson.
"OlympiaGold" had been exploring the newest mobile slot, Golden 8, but hit the jackpot when he switched to Lucky Stars.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that new games are looser than the older games" said the historic winner. "But Sunday morning, I wasn't winning much on the Golden 8 so I went back to my old favourite, Lucky Stars. I already had two of my three stars lit up so I figured with a little luck I could light up the third and possibly pull in a nice win to double my $100 deposit.
"It wasn't more than 15 minutes before the third star lit up, and then a bonus spin produced three bars across the fourth pay line. My hands were sweating and I was shaking all over - I had just won $163 000 and some change!" the winner recalls.
"Of course, my wife already has plans for most of my winnings" grinned the happy winner. "But I told her that $5,000 of that win is all mine to just blow on more gadgets!'
