2005's Second Jackpot Winner BADLANDMAN Won $49,409 While Playing Wild Heart.

Slotland's second jackpot winner of 2005, BADLANDMAN, won $49,409 on February 10 while playing Wild Heart Progressive Video Poker. The Wild Heart is a variation of the Double Joker video poker with a progressive jackpot and triple play feature. The winner said the following concerning his winnings:

"I have never considered myself a very lucky person, but Slotland changed my mind on that! Actually, I just discovered Slotland late last year, when I was surfing the Internet. I pretty quickly got hooked on it!

While I like slot machines, I have to admit I spend the bulk of my time playing the poker games Slotland offers. I have always loved poker and consider myself a pretty good player. In fact, during the three months I have been playing at Slotland, I am a few hundred dollars ahead of my deposits (well, that was BEFORE the big jackpot... now I am about $50,000 ahead!).

I especially like the graphics of Wild Heart (plus the two wild cards!), so I probably spend more time on that game than any other game at Slotland. One of my favorite things about this game is the monkey that swings on the vine when I win, while the tiger growls. I don't know why, but I really love that! It makes winning even more fun.

As I had a nice winning session earlier in the month, I was feeling pretty good about things and decided to immediately go full bore on my next deposit. So I plunked down $200 and went straight to Wild Heart. My first hand was really encouraging; I was dealt a King and Jack of Hearts along with a wild card. I kept those three cards and was most happy to see a straight flush hit the middle row of cards, for a nice payback of $125 on my $15 bet. That gave me a cushion as my bankroll had already increased by more than 50%!

I played for what seemed like hours, jumping between Jacks or Better, Striking 7s (I hit 4 sevens on a maximum bet for a $2,000 win!) and Wild Heart. I was beginning to lose steam as I was getting tired, but I was really winning like mad and decided to play 100 hands of Wild Heart at maximum bets before retiring for the night. By that time I had over $2,000 in my account, thanks to the 4 sevens in Striking 7s, so I knew that even if I lost EVERY hand, I was way ahead of my $200 deposit. Well, not only did I not lose every hand, it was less than 20 rounds when it happened. A natural Royal Flush of Spades was dealt across all three rows! I have honestly never seen a prettier sight than that!

Needless to say, I was wide awake after that deal. However, I was so nervous and excited that I simply could not play another round of anything. I actually left my computer on all night (not that I slept much!), so I could see it again the next morning.

I am still not sure what I am going to do with all this money, but of course, my wife is going to get a new diamond ring, even though I am a little late for Valentine's Day! Also, I have earmarked $1,000 for each of my two teenage kids as this year's Christmas gift. I will actually get crisp new $20 bills and we will put them in all sorts of envelopes and boxes, so there will be a lot of money for them to dig through! I already have college funds set up for both of them, so this is their fun money. Hmmm, maybe I should give it to them BEFORE Christmas so they can get me something nice! LOL"
