Player Wins Over GBP25,000 at JackpotCity Bingo Less Than 1 Hour After Registering

GIBRALTAR, December 1 PRNewswire


- "Win is JackpotCity Bingo's Biggest Jackpot Since Upgrade to Microgaming Software" 

In a surprising development, a lucky online bingo player at JackpotCity Bingo won GBP25,324 less than 1 hour after registering with the site, and before the first bingo ball had dropped. The player won a progressive jackpot while playing an online casino side-game known as Lots-A-Loot while waiting for his online bingo game to begin.

The player (name withheld at player's request) of Hartlepool, UK won late last week. "Luck was on my side at JackpotCity Bingo I guess", said John. "I bought tickets for an online bingo game and figured I'd play some of the new slots for a few minutes until it started. When it hit, I literally had tea coming out of my nose. I'd heard about the upgrade and thought I'd check the site out. I'm quite glad I did."

The win is the largest seen at JackpotCity Online Bingo since the popular site's move to Microgaming software, the same technology as its sister site, JackpotCity Online Casino, and highlights one of the upgrade's many benefits.

"I can't wait to see more and more wins like this," remarked Gilbert Puente, Head of Bingo at JackpotyCity Bingo.

"We already have a tight-knit community. With the upgrade, JackpotCity Bingo can now offer progressive jackpots in online bingo that get easier to win as the jackpot climbs, more than 100 new side-games, better odds for our loyal customers now that some rooms aren't connected to gigantic networks. Change is always difficult, but as wins like this start to pile up, I think people will realize this really is a great thing."

Since the upgrade, JackpotCity Bingo has seen popularity growth in its online casino side-games. "We are not limited in what we can offer with Microgaming," said Puente. "The side-game are yet another reason for people to come."

As for what the player plans to do with his winnings, he's not exactly sure, but says there's likely a new kitchen and a new car in his immediate future.
