NICOSIA, Cyprus, May 19, 2005 -- Winajackpot.com member Cari M. from
Tennessee entered the history books, 30 April 2005, when she scooped
the highest jackpot ever paid online - an astounding $1,853,850 playing
Gold Rally 8-line Slots at SCasino.com - part of the CasinoLasVegas
Group, a member of the Winajackpot network of Playtech-powered casinos.
Cari's historic windfall, the highest amount won on any jackpot network
on the Internet, comes hot on the heels of the previous record-breaking
jackpot of $1,031,270 paid out in January to Alex O. of Santiago,
Chile. It also marks the sixth successive biggest amount won by a
Winajackpot.com member playing Gold Rally, a hugely popular progressive
8-line Wild West themed slot game featuring two interactive bonus
stages.
Cari, who only began playing online in January 2005, has won more in a
single jackpot than many could dream to win in their lives. By wagering
the $16 maximum bet, Cari's return on investment was an unbelievable
115,866:1. Other fortune-making games available on the Winajackpot
network include Diamond Valley, Cinerama and Wall Street Fever.
"This is a truly astonishing event," said Michelle Roberts of
Winajackpot. "Not only does Cari's win trump all previous jackpots on
Winajackpot and any other network, it only took a mere ten weeks for
the Gold Rally jackpot to accumulate to nearly two million dollars
since the last wipeout win. This is clearly a hit game."
Roberts was keen to point out that in addition to high profile winnings
such as this one, Winajackpot.com regularly pays out hundreds of
thousands of dollars to dozens of other lucky winners playing a range
of progressive games on the network each month. "The significance of
this win," she added "is the added incentive it provides other jackpot
hopefuls of more history-making multi-million dollar payouts. Cari must
be beside herself with joy at the moment. I know all of us here at
Winajackpot are truly delighted for her."
Steve Jones, spokesman for the CasinoLasVegas Group, commented: "We are
understandably excited and proud to be paying out this record Gold
Rally jackpot at one of our casinos," said Jones. "It's not every day
that a once-in-a-lifetime event like this occurs and we are absolutely
delighted for the winner."
All the staff at Winajackpot.com and the CasinoLasVegas Group would
like to congratulate Cari on her record-breaking win and wish her the
best for the future. A full interview with Cari M. will be soon
available on the Winajackpot.com website under "Winners Tale."
