Winner is Glad He Trusted His Gut Feeling

Winning day proves player’s theory that luck runs in streaks

After an extremely lucky afternoon playing slot machines, one of our players is glad he trusted his gut feeling and not only continued to play but increased his bets. The player, known as SHLOMIC, was up $1900 after a $100 deposit because he trusted his gut feeling and increased his wagers at just the right time.

“I’ll share a secret with you,” said the winner. “After many hours of play I believe that most games work in streaks. Yes, I know, it doesn't make a lot of mathematical sense, but it works for me!”

The day of SHLOMIC’s winning streak didn’t start out so lucky. It was a boring day at work and nothing had been going well that morning so he’d locked himself in his office, logged on to Slotland.com, and started playing his favourite online slot machine, Treasure Box. He started with small bets and only increased his bets to the maximum after a streak of small wins.

“At first I found myself loosing most of my bets and so I slowly reduced my bets, down to $2,” he explained. “But then something changed and it felt like I was entering a winning streak. So I tried my theory, and maxed my bet up to $8. And who would have believed it... it worked! Starting with a nice 777, that gave me $200 plus the treasure box (where I had about $600 at this stage). And then came the big win: triple 1, same colour, multiplied on all four lines giving me $1200!”

Treasure Box is a three-reel skill-based slot machine where players can increase their chances of winning by holding reels for the next spin just like video poker players hold their best cards. Treasure Box hasn’t just been lucky for SHLOMIC. Since last March there have been six six-figure jackpot wins at Slotland.com and two were won playing Treasure Box. Most recently, a Canadian player won $195,083 (€126,910) on the ever popular game which, at the time, was the biggest progressive jackpot ever won at our online casino.

Within days, SHLOMIC’s winnings were in his bank account ready for some serious shopping. He also received $1000 for sharing his story in our member newsletter.

We currently feature thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot which was recently hit for $169K and is currently over $57,000.

Slotland’s New Megaspin Slot Produces $169,923 Jackpot Winner

Newlyweds now not worried about getting by on one income when baby arrives

Winning $169K at Slotland.com means a young couple won’t have to worry about getting by on one income once their baby arrives next spring. Our newest slot machine produced our latest progressive jackpot winner when NYNYMAN won $169,923 playing the new Megaspin slot.

Having woken up with a sore throat, NYNYMAN had called in sick at work and had decided to take it easy that evening rather than go to his usual Bible study group. Although he has a few favourite games at Slotland.com, it was the new Megaspin that caught his attention as he sat down to play that night.

MegaSpin is a single-payline slot machine game with two identical three-reel sets. Players start by spinning the larger reels at the bottom. When they spin a winning combination, they continue playing for free on the upper Mega Reels. Both winnings are multiplied if they win on the Mega Reels as well.

“I had tried Megaspin once or twice before, and I really love the simple layout and strategy. I especially love that each winning spin lets you spin the Mega Reels for the chance to multiply your guaranteed win,” said the winner.

Within five minutes NYNYMAN had almost doubled his $200 deposit and was feeling lucky. Less than an hour later, he’d won the big jackpot.

“When I spun 3 Wild Stars I started jumping out of my chair, thinking I’d hit the Big One. I was actually only halfway to winning the jackpot. Now I had to spin the Mega Reels and get 3 more stars. Impossible, I knew, but I was hoping for a nice multiplier on the Mega Reels, at least, to make that $150 win even larger.”

“The first spin on the Mega Reels brought me a cherry, grapes and a star that gave me another chance to try to multiply my $150. Three more spins brought me three more losing combinations, but each time there was a star somewhere on the reels to buy me another chance.”

“The next spin seemed to go in slow motion. I watched as the first reel stopped on a star and then the second reel stopped on another star. When third real also stopped on a star I realized I’d won $169,923 and I couldn’t stop shaking.”

His wife wasn’t due home for at least another hour, so NYNYMAN did what any reasonable man who’d just won more money than he would make in one year would do and poured himself a drink! When his wife got home and saw her husband wasn’t at the computer, she thought at first that he wasn’t feeling well.

“I just smiled at her. She looked puzzled and then figured I must have had a good session at Slotland. When I showed her the screen with my winning spin, she looked like she needed a drink, just like I had.

But she said, “You don’t want me drinking when I am carrying your baby, do you?”

The winners wife had found out earlier in the week that she was pregnant but was a little worried about having to stop working since they hadn’t built up their savings as much as they’d wanted.

“Well, with this awesome win, our worries are over and the fun is now starting!” exclaimed the happy winner. “My wife will continue working until about her seventh month; after that, she can remain at home to raise our kids. With this win, that won’t be a problem.”

Slotland.com currently features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of our most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of our games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot.

3D Casino Celebrates 1st Birthday

Special bonuses at WinADay.com mark the occasion

Slotland.com is celebrating the first birthday of their 3D online casino, WinADay.com. A year ago tomorrow the unique and unusual online casino site took its first real money wager.

It’s been a busy year since WinADay began taking bets. Since then, four new games have been added to the original three one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games in the three-dimensional lobby, and there have been three six-figure progressive jackpot winners.

“It seems like just the other day that a group of people at Slotland said, hey, let’s make a three-dimensional casino!” recalls Ondrej Tuma of Slotland. “The time from idea to launch was very short since everyone was so excited by the idea. Now it has a life of its own.”

To celebrate its first birthday, WinADay.com is giving a 10% to 30% bonus on all deposits during the birthday week plus another 20% on the actual birthday, June 23rd!

After a big win just a few weeks ago, the WinADay.com progressive jackpot is currently over $75K. The $100, 224 (€73,970) win in May was the third six-figure jackpot at WinADay.com so far this year and the second to be won on the Wheeler Dealer slot machine. (Watch a report on the last win here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJZzawGO6kQ) In January, Monica68 won $148,724 (€116,200) while playing the same game. Then in March, “123jaki” won $159,660 (€123,620) on the single-payline Slot-O-Matic which had only just been launched.

WinADay.com’s three-dimensional entrance and Games Lobby create a completely new experience for online casino players. Players are greeted and assisted by animated casino staff in the unique three-dimensional Games Lobby where they have seven one-of-a-kind, no-download, instant-play Flash games to choose from. All games are original and only available at WinADay.com, and they’re all tied to one progressive jackpot pool.“We have several new games in the works right now and will continue to add lots more games in our second year,” said Tuma.

“And of course there will be more jackpots! The site is busier now than ever so the progressive jackpots could really get to some amazing levels this year.”

The next new game will be a video poker slot machine. The unique 3D casino will also be adding a welcome video and video tutorials in the near future.

Jackpot is usually hit before it goes this long or gets this big

Our players are spinning the reels with extra enthusiasm these days as our all-slots-and-video-poker site’s progressive jackpot feels overdue for a big win and any spin could be the next winner. Hit, on average, every six to eight weeks, it’s now been two months since the last big win. Although it’s gone as high as $200K, our fairly punctual jackpot is usually won when it gets between $100K and $150K and it has just topped $150K.




There’s no predicting when the next win will be, of course. That’s up to Lady Luck. But you can’t win the progressive unless you play the progressive.

“In order to win the big progressive jackpot, each game requires the highest bet be made,” said Ondrej Tuma of Slotland. “For instance, to play the progressive on Treasure Box, you need to hit three WILD symbols and play for max. On Booster you need to bet $5 and hit three Booster symbols on the winning line. And on Heavy Metal you just have to make the maximum $2 bet when you hit.”

Since last March there have been six six-figure jackpot wins at Slotland.com. Two were won playing the popular Treasure Box slot machine but the Heavy Metal, Golden 8 and Booster slot machines have also produced big jackpot winners, as has the Jacks or Better video poker game. All of Slotland’s one-of-a-kind games are tied to the same jackpot pool, and so are all games on the mobile site (wap.slotland.com on phones and PDAs) and the Spanish site (Es.Slotland.com). So the next winner could be playing any of the 16 slot machines or three video poker games on the site.

Our 3D casino site, WinADay.com, has a separate progressive jackpot which has had three six-figure winners of its own so far in 2009. Right now the WinADay.com jackpot is over $62,000.
