The Worlds First Mobile Jackpot Winner

In late 2005, Slotland Online Casino launched their first mobile slot machine, an online slot that could be played via your cell phone. The first game was Lucky Stars and as with all games at Slotland it features a range of bonus features such as the random option to hold the reels and a ten times pay feature.

Since the launch of the first mobile game, Slotland have also launched a mobile version of Golden 8 and a version of their Jacks or Better slot.

March 2006, saw the previous record jackpot of $162,514 being surpassed by a $163,114 hit. Not only was this the highest ever jackpot at Slotland but it was the first $100,000 plus jackpot that we know of won on a mobile phone. The lucky player with a username of Olympiagold had this to say about his jackpot win;

"I am a gadget freak! I love all sorts of electronic items, and so of course I have a nice mobile phone with all the extras. I wasn't even aware that you could gamble on your mobile phone until a friend of mine (who knew that I loved electronic games!) introduced me to Slotland's mobile games.

Then this past weekend, yet another new mobile game was added to the lot. Golden 8 was much more appealing than the card game, but I guess I felt like I was in the groove with Lucky Stars, as I just cannot seem to keep away from that game! Actually, I did pretty well with Golden 8, but I never seemed to hit a big one to boost my deposit to at least double.

Then on Sunday, I fiddled around the house for an hour or so, cleaning up and stuff, before I decided I better get some playing time in before my wife and family returned. I started again with Golden 8 (I don't know why, but I always feel that new games are looser than the older games) and did alright, but nothing exciting.

After about an hour or so of play, with little change in my bankroll, I felt it was time to tackle Lucky Stars again. I already had two of my three stars lit up (the third star would give me a free spin with a guaranteed win multiplied ten times!), so I figured with a little luck I could light up the third and possibly pull in a nice win to double my $100 deposit.

It wasn't more than 15 minutes before I lit up the third star and I couldn't believe MY lucky stars when the bonus spin produced THREE BARS across the fourth pay line! Just like that, I had over $163,000 in my account! My hands were sweating and I was literally shaking all over. I almost threw my phone up in the air when I hit that, but there is no way I would break that lucky gadget! With a smile glued on my face, I just held and hugged that stupid phone!

We are sure to see more jackpots being hit by mobile players in the future. If you have not tried gambling on your mobile then Slotland will give you a free $20 credit when you sign up as a mobile player. Of course you can still get in on the jackpot action at the Slotland we casino and get a 100% bonus up to $100 when you join.
