We share this week the story of one of our readers. He decided to share his experience when playing slots and something truly unbelievable that happened to him. The reader’s alias is “Jackpot Hunter 777”.
I want to share a very interesting experience I had when I spun some reels last week. I was playing at one of the big online casinos. I won’t say the name just to keep this story anonymous. I normally play small, around 20 cents a spin. My first pick for each session is the video slot since I have a good chance of getting a bonus round and raise my balance. If I do hit a bonus round and win some, then I’ll turn to 3-reel slots to try and hit the top max bet jackpot.
Well, last week I started doing just that. At first I wasn’t getting anything out of my $50 deposit. I didn’t claim a bonus since I like to withdraw as soon as I win and don’t want to get tangled up with wagering requirements. I was down to under $5. I kept spinning without much luck until I reach the bonus round, when I was just over $1. I performed decently during the bonus round and thought I would get a normal $20 to $50 payout. To my surprised I returned to the slot with $30,000!! I had to rub my eyes and pinch my arm to see what had happened. I was playing with $0.20 and hit $30,000… it couldn’t be.
So, right after that I contacted the casino, out of good will, to see why I had won so much. Not so much to my surprise I found out that there had been a glitch and the due jackpot was supposed to be $120 for the way I performed during the bonus round. I never actually made it my assumption that I had just won $30,000 to keep. But you won’t guess it, the casino decided to reward me for my honesty and said that they will leave half of the money won in my account. So now I have over $15,000 at my account thanks to my (dumb) sincerity. The casino said that had I not said anything, and if they would have found out of the error, that they would have denied all my winnings as stated in their terms and conditions.
That’s my story. Just wanted to share the unbelievable events that took place last week in my life. Hope you enjoyed!
- Thanks for sharing Jackpot Hunter, it sure was a curious outcome you had there!

Playing online slots machines for free can be a lot of fun but there are some facts that you need to know before you even start playing online slots. If we understand how something works then maybe we can start to really tell apart online slot myths from facts. Today, I want to talk a little bit about the famous RNG or Random Number Generator.
What is RNG? The Random Number Generator is a feature or electronic chip that calculates the winning combinations on the reels of a slot machine at a rate of around a hundred per second. The RNG’s main function is to make sure that the outcome of a spin of the reels depends entirely on chance. An RNG chip is incorporated into each slot machine’s software in order to guarantee an honest and fair game for the player.
Random Number Generators are widely used not only in the online gaming world or online slot machine games but also in high-tech security systems. So how do they truly work? Well, one of the most important things to remember is that for online slot machines, the Random Number Generators will produce between 0 to 4 billion random numbers and each one of those number is linked to a specific slot feature or icon. Once you have made your bet and spun the reels, the RNG will create an algorithm that will decide the outcome of your spin.
The RNG program is able to attach the winning number to several reel combinations which decreases the chance of determining the possible winning combinations. This sequence of events is the result of dividing the random generated number by 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512.Once the number generated has been divided by one of these numbers the resulting value represents the “stop number.”
One important thing to keep in mind is that the payout percentage is set by the operator of the casino and not the Random Number Generator software. Even though land based and online casino slot games both used Random Number Generator softwares, online slots players have a fantastic advantage because payouts in the online world are much higher since online casinos have less costs than their land-based competitors.
As we had announced in our last news segment the casinos operating with Rival software released a new slot called Moonlight Mystery, with incredibly loose payout rates at some casinos passing over 120% like at SuperiorCasino.com. To our surprise and delight this talented team of casinos has released a new slot this time an I-slot with a lot to offer to slot players.
The new game is called Fixer Upper and falls under the category of I-slot, also known as interactive slot. We place this new slot far beyond any slot we’ve seen up to date. If it were up to use we would call it an enhanced I-slot because of the wonderful features it has. Let’s have a look.
Fixer-Upper is a 20 line, 10 coin, 5 reel extravaganza. Its underlying theme is home improvement, a young couple buying an old house that needs quite some repairing. The slot revolves around this theme with reels full of tools and paint, plus all the things you would need to refurbish a house from scratch.
This I-slot has features that are shared with other interactive slots. It provides the player a chance to win up to 50 free spins with an expanding wild icon that multiplies winning lines. Now, the field in which this slots takes off is the bonus round. During the bonus round the player actually gets to refurbish this house in very entertaining and rewarding mini games. There are a total of three bonus rounds. Player will notice that before reaching the first bonus round the background images of the lost display a beaten old basement. After reaching the first bonus round, the player will be asked to fix the old pipes of the house. By doing so the player receives plenty of slot coins and then upon returning to the slot, the background has improved!
The second bonus round is about painting the house. The player gets to pick which color of paint will do the job, from a variety of close to 20 colors. After painting a room’s wall, the player receives coins and when he or she returns to the slot will find a new look for the house. The last bonus round is equally as fun but we’ll leave it a secret so players can discover it as they go along.
Fixer Upper takes slot to a new dimension. When taken together with the other new slot, Moonlight Mystery, I believe it is safe to say Rival Casinos are ready to take over the whole gambling world.
