Slotland Progressive Jackpot Hits Again – 12-11-08

December 11 – The popular progressive slots jackpot offered by Slotland online casino has been won yet again. True to its reputation, the jackpot hit exactly six weeks after it was won by another player at the site who took home $108,060 by playing Jacks or Better at Slotland.

The latest win occurred last week and Slotland reported that a player known as ZONARIZ walked away with a cool six figure amount after playing Lucky 7′s video poker at this slot site.

While Slotland’s progressive jackpot figures are not earth shattering million dollar figures, as are offered at some online slot sites on the internet, the latest $110,125 win is nothing to scoff at – especially in today’s day and age. In fact, it seems, by looking at the popularity of Slotland casino, that players actually prefer smaller progressive jackpots that hit more frequently.

The progressive jackpot at Slotland is linked to the majority of its games and each time a game is played at the site, a certain portion of the wager is set aside for the jackpot fund.

“There seems to be a gaining momentum.” said Slotland. “The more people here about big jackpot wins, the more people that play our games. The jackpot goes up every time a player places a max bet, so more players means the jackpot is growing pretty fast these days!”

The latest win means that the Slotland jackpot has paid out nearly $900,000 in prize money since the beginning of the year. The jackpot hits on average every four to six weeks, although it went through a several month lull during the summer.

Visit Slotland Casino and maybe you could win the next online slots progressive jackpot.

Slotland welcomes US players.

PokerStars.net APPT Sydney, Day 3: Antonio Fazzolari Heads Final

After a lengthy Day 2 to burst the money bubble, the remaining 48 players at the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Grand Final wasted no time in eliminating all but nine players to set the final table. Frank Saffioti took the chip lead into the day, but it was Antonio Fazzolari sitting on the big stack when the dust settled on Day 3 at the Star City Casino.

Jimmy Wong didn’t even get his seat warm before he became the first casualty of the day. On the first hand, he raised from under the gun with , and Antonio Fazzolari re-raised. Wong made the call, then moved all in on the flop. Fazzolari made the quick call with , and headed to the rail in 48th place (AU$8,400) when the turn and river ran out .

One thing that contributed to the speed of Day 3 play was the number of multiple eliminations. On two occasions, players were eliminated simultaneously on different tables just as the payouts were about to increase. In the first case, the prize money for 41st, 40th and 39th was added together and divided equally among George Lind, David Gorr and Graeme “Kiwi G” Putt. Each player took home AU$9,333 for his troubles. A short while later, the same thing happened again when Roel Pijpers and Anthony Rafter were both eliminated in 32nd place (AU$11,200).

The tournament became significantly less colorful when Jamie Pickering headed to the rail in 22nd place ($AU$15,400). Pickering, who showed up each day resplendent in his cowboy hat and tie-dyed shirts, lost a big pot to Jason Gray when his pocket kings couldn’t hold up against Gray’s . An ace on the river doubled Gray up and left Pickering on a short stack. He maneuvered his short stack through the field for a while before open-shoving with and being called — by Gray. Gray tabled , and the flop came down . Pickering needed a king or ten on the turn, but the left him drawing to just a king to stay alive. The on the river was no help, and Pickering headed to the rail as Gray padded his stack.

Eric Assadourian’s run at the championship ended in 20th place (AU$15,400) when he got all his chips in preflop against Brendan Edmonds. Assadourian’s needed help against Edmonds’ , and didn’t find any on a board of . Marlon Goonawardana became the next big name to fall when he busted in 19th place (AU$15,400). After Daniel Kowalski raised preflop, Frank Saffioti and Hai Bo Chu both called, but then Goonawardana moved all in over the top. Saffioti was the lone caller with , and Goonawardana tabled live cards with . The board ran out , and Saffioti’s two pair was enough to send Goonawardana home in 19th.

As the field grew shorter, the confrontations between big stacks became more meaningful. No clash on Day 3 was as big as the late run-in between Tom Rafferty and Antonio Fazzolari, with the chip lead going into the final table potentially at stake. Rafferty raised big preflop, and Fazzolari called from the button. The flop came down , and Rafferty fired again. Fazzolari called, and the turn brought the . Rafferty led out once more, but Fazzolari put in a big raise, sending Rafferty into the tank. After a moment, Rafferty folded, as Fazzolari moved up to nearly two million chips and the secure chip lead.

After Lisa Delellis was eliminated in 11th place (AU$28,000) the final-table bubble began. In a tough series of hands, Michael “TheBigSiCkO” Guzzardi busted in 10th place (AU$28,000) to set the final table. First he lost a big coin flip to Tim English when his couldn’t improve on a board of . English’s pocket sevens held up, and Guzzardi was crippled. Guzzardi was all in from the small blind on the very next hand, and had action from Tom Rafferty and Timothy English. English and Rafferty checked down the board of , and Rafferty showed for a pair. Guzzardi hadn’t looked at his cards yet, and the first one he revealed was good – the . The second card was the , and Guzzardi tripled up with his two pair. It wasn’t enough to keep him alive for long, as a few hands later he found all his chips in the middle again, this time against Hai Bo Chu and Antonio Fazzolari. The board ran out , and Chu’s was enough to bust Guzzardi’s in 10th place (AU$28,000).

As Guzzardi headed to the rail, the final nine players bagged their chips and redrew for their final-table seats. The chip counts and seat assignments looked like this at heading into the final:

Seat 1: Martin Rowe – 995,000
Seat 2: Jason Gray – 1,188,000
Seat 3: Tony Basile – 863,000
Seat 4: Timothy English – 945,000
Seat 5: Daniel Kowalski – 959,000

PokerStars.com APPT Sydney, Day 2: International Stars Fall

The 217 players who made it through three separate Day 1 flights at the PokerStars.com Asia Pacific Poker Tour Grand Final returned to the Star City Casino in Sydney for a grueling Day 2. Over a long day’s play, the field thinned down to the final 48 competitors, who made their weary way to bed with the comfort of a guaranteed cash to their credit. The star-studded field began with Chris Moneymaker, John Juanda, Van Marcus, Carter Gill, Wooka Kim and Gavin Griffin. By the end of Day 2, all of those players were on the sidelines while Frank Saffioti, Brendan Edmonds, Phil Willcocks and Marlon Goonawardana were among the top names on the leader board.

Among the early casualties was Terrence “Not Johnny” Chan, who busted on the first hand of the day. Tony Dunst and John Juanda joined him soon after, and Chris Moneymaker also busted in the first few levels. Van Marcus’ Manila magic didn’t carry over to Sydney, as the APPT champ busted early on Day 2. Marcus moved the last of his chips in preflop with , only to find himself facing John Mendel’s . Like so many times on the way to his APPT victory in Manila, Marcus caught his card on the flop, but this time the on the turn gave Mendel a bigger set. The on the river was not the out Marcus was looking for, and he was busted.

Other eliminations on Day 2 included Lee “Final Table” Nelson, Masaaki Kagawa, Mark Vos and Gavin Griffin. Griffin lost a big pot to Eric Assadourian, then raised preflop with A-8. Michael Whibley re-raised, then quickly called Griffin’s all-in with A-Q. Griffin was behind preflop, but took the lead on the flop. The on the turn made a bigger two pair for Whibley, and Griffin needed help on the river. The wasn’t it, and the EPT, WPT and WSOP champ missed his shot to add an APPT trophy to his crowded mantle.

As the evening wore on and the bubble neared, Marlon Goonawardana continued to build a head of steam and a huge stack. In one key hand, Goonawardana re-raised Andrew Meldrum preflop with . Meldrum shipped the last of his chips in and Goonawardana made the call only to see Meldrum flip over for the bigger pocket pair. In a cruel way to end things, the board ran out , giving Goonawardana a set on the river to bust Meldrum and move him up near the top of the leader board. Other notable survivors included Day 1a chip leader Phil Willcocks and Jamie Pickering, who put on a late surge to move into the lead as play concluded.

After several all-in moments on the bubble, David Sanis was the bubble boy, leaving the event at the hands of Tim English. Sanis built his stack back up from tiny to merely short, but when he moved all in with , English quickly called with . The flop hit both players, coming down , but English’s set left Sanis needing to draw nearly perfect to survive. The on the turn left Sanis drawing dead, and the irrelevant came on the river as the remaining 48 players were in the money.

Slotland Launches Another Great Progressive Slot – 12-03-08

December 3 – The fruit on Slotland’s newest online slot machine may be glittering jewels, but the object of MegaSpin is the same as any fruitee and that’s to get three in a row. The new game launched this week joins 15 other unique games at the popular slots and video poker site.

Like all of Slotland’s games, it is an instant-play game that requires no downloading or installation — and it can only be played at Slotland.com.

MegaSpin is a single-payline slot machine game with two sets of three-reels. Players start by spinning the bigger reels. If they win, they continue playing on the upper reels where they can multiply their winnings. Hitting three different fruit symbols wins three free spins. Wild Stars are wild and can substitute for other symbols on the payline.

"We don’t have super heroes or comic book characters," said Ondrej Tuma of Slotland. "Our players like classic slot machines and MegaSpin follows in that tradition."

Like all of Slotland’s unique slot machines and video poker games, MegaSpin is tied to Slotland’s progressive jackpot which was recently won for $134K and is already approaching $100K again. The progressive bonus pool continually increases as players bet and play until it is won. Three Wild Stars on each of the two reels, while betting maximum, wins the progressive jackpot.

Slotland.com now features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot. All of the slots and video poker games on the mobile network are also tied to the same jackpot pools.
