Hot Online Casino Slots!

Although it is not one of the most popular games, Double Wammy has been paying out like crazy this week! Fresh from the casino floor – Marie R. won $12,500 on this game just today! Be sure to check out Secret Admirer as well. It’s been on a very generous payout streak since the start of the weekend.

By all means try and avoid Sun Quest. Unlike its name, it’s been ice cold for more than 2 weeks.

If you’ve discovered a red hot game please let everyone else know about it!


Yesterday,  Todd F. from the US won a massive $100,000 payout on 50 Play Power Poker – Deuces Wild!

Aside from online progressive jackpots this is one of the single most biggest payouts we’ve ever had!

Way to go Todd. We’d love to heard some thoughts from you about this win.


We managed to touch base with our top winner in the $200,000 online slots tournament! Here’s what he had to say..

“I guess I started playing online casinos about 6 or 7 years ago at various casinos including Jackpot Factory.  In the last few years I’ve only been a Jackpot Factory player due to your excellent VIP support AND the fact that I could actually get several decent wins!!

I thought your idea of a WSOS was great and played all through the series in hopes of doing decently in the finals.  Well who’d of thought I would win; certainly not me.  When the final round started, I played several rebuy rounds until I got a decent coin count, then started  the continue plays.  Well, I got a couple of really good rounds so I thought I’ll just keep going while the “Loaded Dude” and I were on a roll (ha-ha)!!  Well, by the time all the rounds were finished I was in 1st place by a pretty good margin, but it was Sat. morning  with 2 1/2 days to go!  I thought “no way ” will my score last to the end!!  Well as the time went by and my position held I got more and more anxious and hopeful.  By the time late Mon nite came around, I couldn’t look and could not help but look.  A few times another player  would get a big score and get close; and I start to think “oh well, second or third wouldn’t be too bad.
 
1:15 AM —  WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I won $100,000. I can’t believe it.  I had to call VIP support to see if it was real!!! I woke up my wife to tell her as she too thought that someone would knock me out of 1st place over the course of 2 1/2 days!  Then we “WOOOOHOOOO’d together!! It’s still hard to believe as I have never ever won so much at one time  — not even during some really good winning streaks in Vegas or Biloxi.  I guess it will be REAL when the money hits my bank. I’ve been retired for several years with enough income to be able to play regularly at Jackpot Factory as I can win here (can’t say the same about other casinos).  However, this economic mess has put my investments in poor condition so this WIN couldn’t have come at a better time.  Looks like a new car for my bride of 45 years and maybe a  cruise in the Carribean.

I hope that I haven’t been too verbose, but wanted to let you know how wonderful it was to win so much at my favorite casino.  There have been some bumps in the road over the years, but the VIP Support staff has always resolved them to my satisfaction.
 
Sincerely  —   Ed
 
PS – I hope David can include this in his blog. ”

Well Ed, you made it into the blog and you made online slots tournament history with your $100,000 first prize!

From everyone at the Jackpot Factory Group we wish you a sincere congratulations!


I’ve reached out to the top winners in our $200,000 World Series of Slots tournament and asked them to comment on their win! Looking forward to hearing some fantastic stories! What’s everyone going to do with all the money they won..


Yesterday the management team at the Jackpot Factory made the decision to close off progressive slot play and flash instant casino play for the US market. This decision was based on a variety of legal issues facing the industry.We took the liberty of notifying our players in advance of this change. Well to make a long story short due to some technical issues with our software provider we were unable to execute these changes and they have been delayed until an unknown date.

You tell me – would you prefer advance knowledge and then an update or being informed of things after the fact when they are 100% sure and already in place?

Anxiously awaiting some comments on this one…


Quite often I walk around our offices  and chat with people hoping to get some interesting information to post on the blog. Well folks, I’ve got something big to report. But I did give my word of honor I would not report it just yet because it’s not 100% confirmed. All I can say is that I am sure our VIP players are going to very extremely excited when they hear this news! I know I was…


I’ve got some really good news to share.  Does anybody out there remember our Grapevine  Online Slots Tournaments? These were free cash tournaments which were publicized only on the blog. It gave an excellent chance for one of our faithful blog readers to walk away with a $1000 in cash, no entry required.  I haven’t managed to get an exact date from management when this will happen but rest assured it will take place in the next few weeks…

Be sure to stay tuned for more updates!

Bars & Stripes Online Slot

I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried… Bars & Stripes, our American themed online slots game has been red hot during the past week leading up to today’s elections. I certainly wonder if there is any connection? Maybe subconscious? If you haven’t tried this game out now’s as good as a time as any.

Anybody out there voting? If you’d like to share your election thoughts please feel free to do so.


I get that question from quite a few people within the online gaming community. The first and foremost reason to keep a blog is transparency. I sincerely believe players have a right to know what’s going on at the casino.  The blog was a just a nice informal way for people to get updates from a casino insider without the usual formal channels such as email, messages of the day etc.

Another reason is simply that I enjoy writing. When someone asks me what I enjoy most about this job I always tell them – writing my blog! As Angie from our marketing department put it, when you write for an audience you are using the “art of language.”  Not to sound too philosophical but the blog is sort of my canvas and the words are my paint. I wish I could say I was like Picasso but more often I feel like a kindergarten kid drawing stick figures!

Online Slots and Politics!

I generally don’t like to mix this forum up with too many outside issues. We stick solely to online casino stuff and other industry related news. But… I simply can’t help myself from getting into the upcoming Presidential election. I am sure most of our US players are following this election with great enthusiasm. I can only say one thing, it’s really tough to tell who is going to raise taxes and who isn’t!Anybody out there have some thoughts on the election?
