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!
