Almost $200K Spinning Scotland’s Treasure Box — Video Poker Regular Gets Lucky when He Switches to Slots on online casino. London, UK (PRWEB) — Spring time in Canada is looking that much sweeter for a video poker player who switched to slots on a recent spring day and won a nearly $200,000 progressive jackpot at Slotland. Scotland’s jackpot is hit, on average, every six or eight weeks. Since it had been more than that since an American player won the last $100,000 jackpot, many players sensed this win was overdue.
"It’s hard to resist when the jackpot gets to big numbers like that," said Martin Smith. "Lots of players play a little more when they feel like there’s going to be a big casino jackpot winner any second. They want it to be them! So we’d been very busy in the days before the win."
"I usually stick with video poker," said the player known as TEXASTEASER who’s been a regular at Slotland for five years. "I don’t know what made me think I should take a spin or two on the slots that day instead, but I’m sure glad I did!"John Montagu
