It’s been a big week at the Jackpot Factory casinos, with two really impressive winners’ stories at two of their casinos. On November 24, 2008, All Jackpots Online Casino announced that only eleven days after joining the Casino, the lucky player, Alexandros P., won a huge €977,405.51 ($1,330,165.42 USD) on the progressive table game called Roulette Royale. Roulette Royale is a standard European style online Roulette game in which five consecutive hits on the same number wins the progressive jackpot. Alexandros P. stated, "I have to say I am absolutely speechless. I can't believe this has happened!" The lucky winner plans to make some investments, take some time off to travel, pursue his hobbies and buy a new car with his winnings.

A day later, on November 25, 2008, All Slots Online Casino announced that a member of the group's VIP Lounge, Todd F., won a $100,000 payout on video poker game, Deuces Wild 50 Play Power Poker. "This is one of the highest payouts a player can win in a non-progressive casino game," says David Brickman, the Jackpot Factory's VP of Player Affairs, in a joint statement with All Slots Casino. "We are obviously thrilled for Todd and our VIP Lounge Manager has sent a special gift to help him celebrate his video poker win."

The Jackpot Factory has issued a press release congratulating the winners of the $200,000 Grand Final Tournament, which took place November 7th-10th as part of the group’s $500,000 World Series of Slots. The $100,000 grand prize was won by Edward G., who is reported to have won several prizes at the Jackpot Factory, but nothing compared to this incredible win. According to the press release, Edward raced to claim the 1st place position in the second day of the tournament, and waited on the edge of his seat for two and a half days to see if his place would hold. At 1:15 a.m., it was final. “I had to call VIP support to see if it was real,” said the excited slots winner. In light of the global economic downturn, Edward’s win couldn’t have come at a better time for him and his family. “Looks like a new car for my bride of 45 years and maybe a cruise in the Caribbean,” he said.

The $25,000 2nd place prize went to Juwarseh P. of Singapore, who is an active member of the group’s VIP Lounge and a regular slots tournaments player. She has won nearly $38,000 playing slots tournaments at the Jackpot Factory, however, this was her biggest single win with the group to date,.

The $10,000 3rd place prize was won by Virginia C., who joined the Jackpot Factory almost two years ago through Belgamo’s online casino gambling forum. She had a thrilling roller coaster ride in this exciting tournament. Her play didn’t show much promise in the beginning, but the lucky winner persevered and hit a hot streak towards the end of her game, which put her in third place.

Dorena S., 4th place winner of $5,000, looks forward to a merrier holiday season thanks to her slots tournament win. “We're going to drive from Arizona where we live to Nebraska to visit my mother and grandmother for Thanksgiving. Money was tight so we were concerned. Now we aren't so much.”

David Brickman, the Jackpot Factory’s VP of Player Affairs, offered his congratulations to the winners. “The Jackpot Factory is so excited for all of our lucky winners, and is honoured to have made some dreams come true. More big slots tournaments are right around the corner and we look forward to sharing even more excitement with all of you!”
