PartyCasino News: No Vuvuzela Horns As Safari Soccer Comes To PartyCasino

PartyCasino News: No Vuvuzela Horns As Safari Soccer Comes To PartyCasino

Gibraltar – 17th June 2010 - With football fever sweeping the savannah, PartyCasino.com, the world’s largest online casino, has introduced a new game - Safari Soccer! Team up with Africa’s most iconic animals as they kick-off a wild and rewarding match where you can win up to $500,000 on a single line. To celebrate the new game, PartyCasino.com has also introduced two leaderboards where over $150,000 is up for grabs.

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “Featuring raging rhinos, sleek springboks and ferocious lions across five-reels and 30-paylines, we’re sure you’ll find Safari Soccer a real winner. Over $150,000 is available through two leaderboards – one for regular players and one for Palladium Lounge VIP members. Fight for your lion’s share today!”

“We were going to introduce the sounds of the vuvuzela horn at a late stage but decided the sound would already be way too familiar to customers. You could call it a last minute technical change!”

Safari Soccer is a slot very much in the mold of the classic Melon Madness and features a free-spin bonus game triggered by the zebra referee symbol. A customer has to pick one of the referees in view to discover the number of free spins and a valuable multiplier.

The leaderboard races are underway and run until 23.59ET on the 27th June. Palladium Lounge VIPs compete for more than $95,000. First prize is $15,000 and pays 150 places. The regular race features a top prize of $5,000 and pays 500 places. To encourage top-class performances PartyCasino.com will be rewarding double points to customers who play Safari Soccer. Please note that the extra points awarded will not count towards the Safari Soccer Cup leaderboards.

PartyCasino News: Magic May Was Record Jackpot Month On PartyCasino - Biggest Payout Month In History Of World's Largest Online Casino

PartyCasino.com News: Magic May Was Record Jackpot Month On PartyCasino - Biggest Payout Month In History Of World's Largest Online Casino

Gibraltar – 9th June 2010 - PartyCasino.com the world’s largest online casino, can confirm that May was a record jackpot month. During May, PartyCasino.com has paid out more money in jackpots than any other month in its history! The payout bonanza for May up until the end of the 1st June saw a total of $6,429,000 in jackpots over $10k paid out! Not included in these jackpot figures was the fact that the player at the top of the Grand Win Auto leaderboard became entitled to pick up a brand new Maserati Grand Turismo when ‘Arkry222’ scooped the $1.88 million Gold Mega Jackpot on the 7th May – making it an even bigger month for monster payouts!

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: "We have never seen a month like it! May was the biggest jackpot winning month in our history – highlights include two massive wins in 24 hours for two players from Belgium. The fateful day was Saturday 29th May when a Palladium Lounge VIP took down The Big One for US$3,057,043, while his fellow countryman ‘Silverdxp’ took out over $123,000 in jackpots. To add to this, ‘Arkry222’ scooped US$1.88million jackpot on the Gold Mega Jackpot on the 7th May, sparking the Maserati Gran Turismo payout. If that wasn’t enough, another casino player weighed in and won over $685,000 on June 1st!"

"The amount paid out in jackpots in May smashed the previous record set in December 2009. There’s a lot more to come though as already the total jackpot amount on the site exceeds $2,300,000, including ‘The Big One,’ the largest progressive seeded jackpot in the online gaming industry."

One player who was super happy with taking a piece of this record month of jackpots was ‘Silverdxp’ who took out over $123,000 in jackpots on the same day his fellow Belgian won over $3,000,000. "The win is a life changer for me, I am very much an occasional player,” he said. "The world economic crisis has hit my own business hard and this money is going to be vital in helping it continue to operate. It is hard to believe that on the same day a fellow Belgian won over $3,000,000 as well. I suppose I should have played much more that day and that huge jackpot would have been mine!"
