It’s hard to believe that we’ve been playing slots on our phones for more than ten years now. Today mobile casino pioneer Slotland.eu is celebrating the tenth anniversary not of it’s first mobile casino game but of its first mobile jackpot winner. On March 12, 2005, a player won a record-breaking $163,114 progressive jackpot playing one of Slotland’s earliest games, its first mobile slot game, Lucky Stars.
- To celebrate this mobile milestone, Slotland is giving a mobile casino bonus until the end of the month. Get a $15 freebie to play mobile games by claiming bonus code MOBILEMAGIC.
“When I think how excited we were to play slots on those little tiny screens,” said Slotland’s manager, Michael Hilary. “Imagine what we’ll be playing in another ten years!”
“I am a gadget freak! I love all sorts of electronic items, and so of course I had a nice mobile phone with all the extras,” recalled the historic jackpot winner. “When I first joined Slotland there was only one mobile game, Lucky Stars. I had a few good wins on it and I was able to cash out $200 on one of my first $100 deposits, so I kept coming back.”
The winner recalls that day ten years ago: “That Sunday, my wife took the kids to church and I told her I wanted to stay home. I fiddled around for an hour or so, cleaning up and stuff, before I decided I better get some playing time in before they returned. I started with Golden 8.”
“After about an hour or so of play, with little change in my bankroll, I felt it was time for Lucky Stars. I already had two of my three stars lit up. 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!”
Although his wife had plans for the rest of it, the winner kept $5,000 to just blow on more gadgets.
