Everest Casino (www.everestcasino.com) today announced that it had recently issued two jackpots to a single player totaling $118,970. The jackpots were won less than an hour apart on 21 February by an Italian-based player.
"We're shocked and delighted that a payout this large was won so quickly on this brand new machine!" said Eduardo Santos, Everest Casino property manager.
The player initially won $60,045 at 22:01GMT on the evening of 21 February after placing a $75 bet on Everest Casino's new World Tour video slot machine. Not content with winning a 800x payout on the game, they continued placing bets with their winnings and won another $58,925 at 23:00GMT.
"This was an unprecedented event for any casino," added Santos. "To have a player win so much in such a short time on a brand-new video slot machine is remarkable. We're very happy to say Everest Casino was part of such an amazing coincidence."
The recently-added World Tour video slot machine is just one of the dozens of different video slots and video poker games at the online casino. World Tour uses icons from travel and destinations around the world as the gameplay symbols. These include trains, planes, Big Ben, pyramids, and the Parthenon among others. World Tour's largest payout, 35,000x occurs when 15 lines are played and 5 ships appear. World Tour also offers an exciting bonus round: a single-level pick-five game that offers a top payout of $9,000.00
"The maximum payout from World Tour is $175,000. I'd love to see someone win that," Santos concluded.
