‘GAMAGO’ HITS RECORD PARTYCASINO GOLD MEGA JACKPOT AND MAKES ONLINE GAMING HISTORY
$45 SPINS UP TO $4,978,336.62 ON THE MEGA FORTUNE WHEEL!

Gibraltar – 8th December 2009 – The Gold Mega Jackpot at PartyCasino.com has finally been hit and one lucky player is a staggering $4,978,336.62 better off! The jackpot was by far the biggest in the industry and is a landmark for the world’s largest online casino!

The lucky player is ‘gamago,’ a member of the PartyGaming VIP Club, the Palladium Lounge, from Germany. He was delighted by his record breaking win.

“I was so shocked when I won the jackpot and the news still really hasn’t sunk in! I have to say I had my eye on the big jackpot but I really don’t play aiming for them, I play for fun. I have won $50,000 and $100,000 jackpots before but nothing on this scale. It is unbelievable that one spin has given me nearly $5 million!”

The fateful spin came at 20.42ET on December 2nd. The stake was $45 on popular PartyCasino.com Gold Mega Jackpot game, the Mega Fortune Wheel. The screen exploded with congratulations and colour as ‘gamago’ turned $45 into $4,978,336.62!

Clearly, nearly $5 million is a life changing amount of money but ‘gamago’ has no real view on what he is going to be doing with this record windfall. “To be honest, I don’t have any plans on what I am going to do with the money as yet.”

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “We would like to congratulate ‘gamago’ on taking down this monster record Gold Mega Jackpot and making online gaming history. We assumed the jackpot would reach $5 million and stated as such but this record Gold Mega Jackpot hit shortly after we published those fateful words! ‘gamago’ is a valued member of the Palladium Lounge and we wish him well with his newly found mega riches!”

PartyCasino.com now offers over 130 games, including 93 slots, and pays out easily over $10 million EVERY DAY to players. The world’s largest online casino continues to expand rapidly.

Recent popular additions include Resident Evil, The Naked Gun, High Noon and Bejeweled. Other new additions such as Tarzan and Multi-Hand BlackJack Pro were developed in house by PartyGaming’s specialist unit ‘The Games Studio.’ Gold Mega Jackpot games are: The Godfather, Mega Fortune Wheel, Super Joker, Super Mystic, Super Fortune Wheel and Super Star.
