Slotland Casino is at it again. For a seventh time this year it has delivered a progressive jackpot of over $100,000. This seventh win was coincidentally at a video poker game called Striking 7s. The player was ZONARIZ who won $110,125 on the 5th of December. He drew a royal flush with a $10 maximum bet and won the progressive jackpot. $100,000 is not a big win in itself. Nor is this year’s cumulative payout of $896,405 a record of any kind. But the fact that a $100K plus progressive jackpot has been hit with almost clockwork precision every seven weeks in the same online casino is something out of the ordinary. The management at Slotland Casino said that the traffic is gaining momentum and so are the jackpots. Therefore we could be looking at not only more frequent but also larger prizes from Slotland Casino in 2009. Or maybe an eighth win on the online slot Golden 8 this year.

Striking 7s is the equivalent of Deuces Wild with the 7s acting as the wild cards instead of the deuces. This means that sevens can substitute for any card to make a winning combination. There is a big payout for "Five of a Kind" with a 7 and four identical cards and an even bigger payout for "Four 7s". The payouts begin with "Three of a Kind". Striking 7s is played like any video poker game. The player is dealt a hand of five cards. He may hold as many of the cards as he wants and draw as many new ones as he wants. The player’s final hand is compared with the payout table. Striking 7s at Slotland has a Double Feature. The player need not enforce the Double feature. He can collect his winnings. However should he enforce the Double feature he has to draw a card of a higher value than the first card drawn by the computer. If he does so then his winnings are doubled, otherwise he loses everything. No downloads are required at Slotland Casino. Players can just log in and start playing.

There are sixteen games at Slotland Casino all connected to the same progressive jackpot. The jackpot is currently just under $60,000, having been reset at $50,000 and is unlikely to cross the $100,000 level this year. Therefore expecting the eighth $100K plus hit on Golden 8 may be unrealistic. However Golden 8 is a unique slots game, which is worth a try anyway. It is one of the few 9 reel slots on offer in online casinos. The 9 reels are arranged in a 3 by 3 matrix with each of the 8 paylines consisting of three symbols.

Apart from the seven progressive jackpot wins Slotland has been in the news this year for the introduction of MegaSpin, a two-tier slot game and for the launching of Win A Day Casino, a unique 3D online casino.
