The week started out with a bang for Pinnacle and Slotlands, as both of the online casinos announcing major wins by their players. The two wins together totaled on $545,000 with Slotland.com recording its sixth big jackpot win this year when newbie player “Iringion” won $116, 828 playing the popular Wild Heart slot machine. Even more impressive, however, was a New York based online gambler at Pinnacle Casino.com, who hit a Royal Flush that netted him an astonishing $427,560! “I wasn’t even a real slots fan before this,” said “Iringion”, a resident of Massachusetts. “I used to prefer online poker and other card games, but after this experience you can be sure I love spinning slots now!” “Some people think you have to play slots a lot before you win anything,” said Hannah Morante of Slotland.com, “But this beginner winning a very big jackpot after playing such a short time shows that anyone can win any time.” When asked about the activity leading up to his big win, “Iringion” said that he knew he’d really gotten lucky when he saw a couple of straight flushes and several four of a kinds appear while playing “Jacks or Better”. After switching to “Wild Hearts”, his luck changed slightly and he even was down $600. Then he was dealt three Wild Royal Flushes for an automatic $1,500 win – and there were still two wild cards in each deck. In the end, after agonizing for a few minutes over whether or not to take the guaranteed $1500 or go for the progressive jackpot of over $116,000, he trusted his decision to a flip of a coin and took home the jackpot. “When the cards came up, I will never forget seeing that lovely Jack of Diamonds fall on the bottom line!” recalls the winner. “And can you believe it? I also DID get another wild card on the middle line! Kind of like extra frosting on an amazing cake!” When asked what he plans to do with all of the money, the slots winner said he still hasn’t calmed down enough to think that far. “I never expected it to be me to win the jackpot, so I never really thought very hard about what to do with so much money. But don't worry I am sure I will figure it out!” As for the Pinnacle winner, New Yorker and long time player, Gene C., said that his big win made the time spent playing at Pinnacle Casino for the last two years worth everything. The winner, who recorded a record-setting winning stud poker hand, took home the largest single payout in Pinnacle’s history, after being dealt a royal flush. “While the hand was being dealt, I just prayed that the dealer would qualify. When he did, I couldn’t even scream or jump for joy – I was completely shocked,” said the amazed winner. “I never thought it would happen to me but my win proves that anyone can strike it rich at any time.” Posted on: August 28, 2006
