Challenge Online Casino Serves Up $200,000 Win At A Not So Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
Within several days of launching one of its new video slots - Mad Hatters, Challenge Online Casino served up a $205,625 win for one lucky player, the operator announced yesterday. Known only as Michael A., the winner struck lucky on one of the four new July games releases from Microgaming - the world's leading online casino and poker software supplier."Extreme excitement", was the player's initial response to finding out he had won, especially as he was in the middle of a bonus game at the time so didn't get a chance to see all the pays per line. "I saw the wilds line up line after line and just froze as the reels stopped. Then I just hopped out of my chair and said Oh Gosh! Or words to that effect!" he commented laughing afterwards.
Having already notched up total winnings of $77,730 with six previous wins on Challenge Casino, Michael A then went on to win a further $8,405 later that day, which might go some way to explaining why all his friends say he has the Midas Touch. Michael said he plans to spend his winnings on a few things for the house, but will put the rest away for a rainy day. However, a trip to his favourite vacation destination, Hawaii, was not ruled out.
Mad Hatters, one of four Microgaming games released at the beginning of July, is a summer tea party with a difference. The five-reel 30 payline video slot features several unique firsts for online gaming, including different ways to win on more pay-lines, up to 50 free spins, and the innovative Extra Wild and Expanding Wild.
Challenge Casino is part of the Casino Action group of casinos. Brian Cooke, CEO Global Approach, the owners of Casino Action says, "Winners are what make our business and to hear about Michael's win was fantastic! We strive to provide the best possible experiences for our players, with the best payouts and the latest games and this win is a perfect illustration of that."
Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "To hear that someone has had such a big payday on one of our new games so soon after roll out is great news. We work hard to maintain our industry leading release schedule of four games a month, because we believe it gives the players the variety they want and our operators the ability to stay one step ahead of the competition. We wish Michael A well and hope he continues to bring his Midas Touch to all our new games."
