Major Hits at Slotland and Pinnacle Online Casinos

$545,000. That was the total amount paid out by two online casinos this week! The online casinos Pinnacle and Slotland each announced major wins by players.

Novice player “Iringion” won $116,828 playing the popular Wild Heart slot machine at Slotland.com. “I wasn’t even a real slots fan before this,” said the player, who hails from Massachusetts. “I used to prefer online poker and other card games, but after this experience, it’s slot only for me!”

Hannah Morante of Slotland.com said, “People think you have to play a lot of slots before you win anything. But this player was a beginner. It just goes to show that anyone can win at any time.”

“I will never forget seeing that lovely Jack of Diamonds fall on the bottom line when the cards came up!” recalls the winner. “And can you believe it? I also got another wild card on the middle line! It was kind of like extra frosting on an amazing cake!”

But the week's biggest winner was Gene C., a New York based online gambler at Pinnacle Casino.com, who hit a Royal Flush that won him $427,560!

The online casino player saw his patience pay off when he recorded a record-setting winning hand playing stud poker. The New Yorker has been a loyal Pinnacle Casino player for nearly two years and after playing numerous hands of stud poker, everything came up spades when he was dealt a royal flush to take home the biggest single-hand payout in the online casino’s history.

“While the hand was being dealt, I just prayed that the dealer would qualify. When he did, I couldn’t even scream or jump for joy – I was completely shocked,” said the astonished winner.

The dealer qualified for the Pinnacle Stud Poker hand by receiving a pair of 9s against Gene’s royal flush. The qualifying hand netted Gene $320,000 for the royal flush and an additional $107,360 for the progressive Pinnacle Stud Poker jackpot.
