Big Winners Score at Slotland and Pinnacle online casinos

At the beginning of the week there were practically $545,000 given out in prizes in two large wins at online casinos. Slotland and Pinnacle were the online casinos announcing these key wins by player participants.

This was the sixth large major jackpot win for Slotland.com this year. It was won by a novice player who calls himself “Iringion”. He won $116,828 while playing the well-liked Wild Heart slot machine.

“Iringion”, whose home is in Massachusetts, said that he never really liked slots all that much before and that he actually preferred online poker or other card games. This should change his mind about spinning the reels.

Hannah Morante of Slotland.com said that most people imagine that winning at slots takes a lot of spinning wheels but the in fact the winner of a significant jackpot had only been playing for a short time and on top of that he had just started playing at slots.

he was playing Jacks or Better when things started to pick up as he got some good hands like a couple of straight flushes and several four of a kinds.  He than tried Wild Hearts and admits that things started out rather slow with his actually being down $600.  At that point he reports getting three Wild Royal Flushes. This gave him an automatic $1,500 win. And he still had two wild cards left to play. at this point he had to decide to take the sure thing of a guaranteed $1500 or go for the big one. There was a progressive jackpot at that point of over $116,000 making its appeal to him. At that point he flipped a coin and went on ahead to win.

Then the cards he needed fell into place and he even drew another wild card, which to him was like frosting on the cake.

When he was asked what he planned to do with all that money he said he needed to take some time to think about it. He was still too excited. He said that he never expected to win so he never thought about what he would do with the money. He says not to worry though since he's sure he'll think of something.

The biggest winner this week however, was a New York resident playing online at Pinnacle Casino.com. He got a Royal Flush which brought him an amazing $427,560!

This guy has been playing for some time however, and patiently waiting for the payoff. Gene C. saw the fruit of his laborers when while playing stud poker he hit a record-breaking winning hand. This player had been playing loyally at Pinnacle Casino player for almost two years. Only after many hands of stud poker was he successful. It was then that they all came up spades and he was dealt a royal flush allowing him to take home the largest single-hand payoff in the history of the online casino.

As the hand was being dealt, the winner says that he was praying that that the dealer would qualify. When it did occur he was so shocked he couldn't say a thing. He thought that something this great could never happen to him but since it did he now believes that anyone can get the big win.
In the Pinnacle Stud Poker hand the dealer qualified when he drew a pair of nines versus the winner’s royal flush. Since the hand qualified Gene won a record making $320,000 for his royal flush, along with an additional $107,360 by winning the progressive Pinnacle Stud Poker jackpot.
