Often the first thing a big jackpot winner thinks of doing with their winnings is taking a fancy holiday or buying an expensive car. A WinADay Casino player who just won a record-breaking progressive jackpot says he’ll treat himself, for sure, but first he’ll donate to Puerto Rico hurricane relief efforts. Jose P. won $277,482 playing the Pyramid Plunder slot. He won WinADay’s largest jackpot ever on Friday the 13th, a date often considered to be bad luck.
This jackpot win breaks the previous records which was held by a young mother who won $255,462 playing the Chinatown slot.

“I’m not superstitious myself,” said Jose. “But my wife is and she can’t believe my good fortune!”
“I’ll be donating to hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico,” the winner told his VIP service rep at WinADay. “I’ll pay off my bills and my mother’s bills. And I always wanted to visit Japan and South Korea so now is the time for that!”
Jose has been playing at WinADay for more than six years and is a Bronze level VIP player. (VIPs get free bonus offers when entering each VIP level, extra bonus percentages on regular promos and exclusive VIP offers.) Like most players, he wins periodically but has never won anywhere near this much on one click on an online slot machine.
Pyramid Plunder is an Egyptian-themed slot tied to WinADay’s site-wide progressive jackpot, has three bonus features. An animated Scarab beetle can uncover new symbols and new chances for winning combinations. The Mummy can also create new combinations by shifting its reel down one or two places. In the Chamber of Treasures bonus game, players choose symbols to reveal instant prizes.
WinADay Casino, which celebrated its ninth anniversary this summer, has 34 unique premium slots as well as roulette, Keno, 20 penny slots and 10 video poker games for a total of 77 unique online casino games. The latest is the devilish new real money online slot game called Blazing Wilds. In its Free Spins bonus round, the fiendish new game has extra fiery Wilds and 2X prizes on Payline 13. In addition to credit cards, Neteller and Skrill, WinADay began accepting Bitcoins last summer.
