$200K Slots Windfall for Slotland Player - 04-02-08

April 2 - Slotland.com, the popular online slots and casino site, was pleased to announce that a lucky Canadian has won its biggest progressive jackpot ever.

The player, known as TEXASTEASER, who has been playing at Slotland for five years already, won an incredible $195,083 while playing one of the most sought-after progressive jackpot games at the site, Treasure Box.

A regular video poker player, TEXASTEASER decided at the last minute to try his luck at the slot machines - a move that earned him a welcome windfall just in time for spring.

"I usually stick with video poker," said the stunned Slotsland player. "I don't know what made me think I should take a spin or two on the slots that day instead, but I'm sure glad I did!"

The jackpot is hit once every six to eight weeks on average at Slotlands, however the last $100,000 jackpot has not been won by an American in a while now, and traffic at the site's progressive slot machines was a strong indication of this fact.

Slotlands representative, Martin Smith, said: "It's hard to resist when the jackpot gets to big numbers like that. Lots of players play a little more when they feel like there's going to be a big jackpot winner any second. They want it to be them! So we'd been very busy in the days before the win."

The biggest jackpot won at Slotland prior to the last windfall was for the sum of $179,166 grabbed by TOPNOTCHED when he played another popular progressive game, Golden 8, nearly a year ago at the site.

The previous record for a Treasure Box win was set when JAMKAT2 won $113,418 last year.
