GREEK SPORTINGBET PLAYER WINS $1.5 MILLION

Paradise Casino's "Super Seven" progressive delivers bigtime

The UK-based online gambling group Sportingbet.com reports a major progressive slot win this week by a Greek player, who hit a Euro 940 966 (US$ 1.47 million) progressive jackpot at the group's online Paradise Casino to set a new Greek online casino win record.

Player K. Vasileiadis' ship of good fortune docked after he played the "Super Seven" game.

"This is a huge win and we are delighted for Mr Vasileiadis" a spokesman for Sportingbet said. "He is a loyal customer and, despite the loss for Sportingbet.com, we are delighted to show how our customers can be true winners. I am sure that Mr Vasileiadis will enjoy spending the money and we hope that the experience of this win will stay with him for a long time."

The spokesman added that the win showed that online casinos were capable of delivering major rewards to players, and that recent upgrades in Sportingbet product groups have made the company an award-winning gaming destination.

"We are determined that the journey for the customers from depositing to winning provides them with the ultimate gaming experience," he concluded.

The lucky winner will be flown to London on May 9 to receive his winnings from the Sportingbet.com offices.

With more than four million registered customers, the London-listed Sportingbet.com is one of the industry veterans when it comes to online casino operations and offers a wide range of betting and gaming products from poker and sports betting to casino and games such as backgammon.
