Slotland Casino Player 'CORNELL1986' Won An Astonishing $114,637 Golden 8 Jackpot.

First jackpot winner of 2005 at $lotland online casino was CORNELL1986, who won an astonishing $114,637 on January 30, while playing Golden 8 progressive slot. We were able to secure an interview with the lucky winner of the year, and this is his wonderful story:

"I have been playing at Slotland for a couple of years now, and though I do not consider myself a regular player, I have played enough to know which games I like more than others. As a rule, I generally try to make a deposit every other month, and Slotland is such a great casino that my deposit usually lasts me a long time. I always deposit $200 when I do play, and this time was no different."

"However, when I started playing, it did feel different. I was hitting more often than I generally do when playing here, and I could not believe my luck when I found my original $200 had grown to over $1,000! All of this happened within the first two hours of playing. It almost seemed that no matter where I went to play, I was coming out ahead by the time I was done."

"I played my favorite, Booster, for a while, and saw my bankroll drop down to below $1,000. I decided to take a break (I had been playing for over 3 hours!) and have some dinner. Since I was so far ahead of the game, I decided to treat myself to a nice restaurant in town. By the time I returned home, I was feeling pretty good, after a nice meal and a few glasses of wine."

"Of course, I could hardly wait to get back to Slotland to see if the machines would remain as hot as before. Within 30 minutes, I was back over $1,000, and feeling pretty confident that I could get up to $1,500 before the end of the night. I have had this superstitious habit of always starting with Golden 8 (I remember reading in one of the newsletters that this machine hits more jackpots than the other machines), and I was really doing better than ever on it this time. So I was kind of daydreaming as I was spinning, thinking about what to do with some extra cash. And that was when it hit! Three beautiful bars across my machine! I was speechless! I immediately awoke from my daydream and began pacing the floor. I called my daughter and told her the good news, and I swear I could barely sleep that night!"

"I was asked what I plan to do with all of this money. Actually, I am gifting $20,000 to the International Red Cross specifically for victims of the terrible tsunami tragedy that happened last year. This means something very special to me, because my late wife and I had vacationed in the Maldives 10 years ago. It was the last vacation I had with my wife before she died. I had always promised myself that if I ever had a nice windfall of cash, I would treat myself to a trip back to the Maldives. After the tsunami, I felt that instead I would rather give something back to the Maldives, as I have such good memories that the Maldives had given me! I had already contributed $1,000 to help the cause, and am very happy to be able to give even more!"

CORNELL1986 is the first but not the last 2005's progressive jackpot winner at Slotland. Definitely you could be next. Join now and play, even if you do not win a huge jackpot, you can win a bit and submit your winning story to Slotland for a chance to win $500 each month. Good Luck!
