Microgaming Creates Slot Millionaire - 11-06-09

November 7 - Microgaming was proud to announce this week that its hugely exciting Grand Slam of Slots tournament has come to a dramatic end, with the first ever millionaire in a slots competition walking away with €1 million in first prize.

Pattoned, a Ladbrokes Casino player, was the lucky winner of the tournament, who qualified on a €2 qualifier and only reached the top of the leaderboard in the last 24 hours of the competition that lasted 11 days.

Pattoned knocked Rick H. to second place after the latter had dominated the top of the board for most of the previous days.

"I'm ecstatic to have won and can't quite believe it yet," said Pattoned. "I'm absolutely stunned! What will I do with the money? Who knows; we'll wait and see!"

Rick H., as second placed player in the Grand Slam of Slots, wins €50,000 and free entry into the next competition which is already been planned.

"This tournament was always going to be exciting with one million Euros up for grabs and it is a great honor to be involved in creating the first online slot tournament millionaire," said the Head of Marketing at Ladbrokes, Charlie Good enough. "The Grand Slam of Slots has been a really innovative campaign to be involved in and has added a new dimension to our marketing activities."

The Casino Channel Lead at Microgaming, Mike Hebden, added: "The tournament has certainly lived up to its expectations and generated a tremendous buzz amongst the online slot playing community. We are delighted to have been the power behind the biggest ever online slot tournament and offer our congratulations to Pattoned on this historic win."
