Paddy Power has made a name for itself on turning losses into positive publicity and apparently, Winner is doing the same. An online slots player recently cashed in huge at the new online gambling site to the tune of a whopping £693,517 in cash, enough money to last him a whole lot of luxuries in life.
Anthony Edmonds recently discovered Winner after a friend of his told him to check out. Apparently, this friend also pulled in a sizable amount at the site and wanted to give Edmonds the heads-up. So Edmonds did what every curious man would given the circumstance: he tried the site out for himself. Picking the new Spamalot slot game and using the ‘click & hope’ strategy, Edmonds was barely an hour in when the unthinkable happened.
He won £693,517. In cash.
In a statement, Winner CEO Yoni Sidi couldn’t contain his excitement by the result, despite the fact that somebody cleaned them out for almost £700,000. “This is a tremendous result for the winner.com,” he said.
“We are a new brand in the UK with big ambitions to provide an entertainment service to our users. We work very hard to create games that bring light entertainment to our players whether they are on the move playing on their mobile, or in the comfort of their own home. To award this amount of money to a new player at the casino is fantastic and we are delighted to be joining Anthony in Devon, to celebrate his winning moment.”
This piece of news could be the kind of publicity that Winner is looking for to get new players to play on their site. Rest assured, a lot of people will probably do so in the coming weeks or months.
Speaking of getting new players to play on their site, online poker room PKR is building up their site in an effort to do just that. We don’t think they’re going the route of Winners; instead, they’re offering new sign-up bonuses, as well as expanding their multi-table tournaments to give its players even more choices to satisfy their proverbial poker needs. The online poker room is offering three different types of sign-up bonuses, including a $5 instant bonus, a 100% bonus of up to $150 paid out in 5% increments, and a 125% first deposit bonus of up to $500 paid out in 10%.
From there, PKR is also offering a host of other goodies on anybody making their first deposit. As if the initial deposit bonus isn’t enough, they’re also giving away plenty of freebies, including a free ticket to the $10,000 GTD Mini Masters worth $5.50, an automatic upgrade to enjoy Club PKR benefits, and 1,000 free PKR points to spend on poker room’s online store, among other things.
