Video Poker Player Strikes it Big at All Slots
Written by Mel Dunkin
There is nothing really new about reports of a big progressive jackpot win at the popular All Slots Online Casino. Most of the time, however, these lucky players are deriving their windfalls from the progressive slots games, despite the fact that the Microgaming network also hosts progressive games from other genres such as roulette, blackjack and video poker.
There is seldom any shortage of hype at All Slots Casino. You may recall the recent launch of two new slots games, the “Magic Multiplier” and “Sugar Mama. To assist with their launch, the casino held a special promotional event that featured the two games.
The latest big win to come from All Slots, though, appears to be the result of a growing interest in the progressive jackpot opportunities that the network provides for its video poker fans.
This weekend it was “Poker Ride”, one of Microgaming’s progressive video poker games that caught everyone’s attention. The game is quite similar to another video poker game known as “Let it Ride”. What sets “Poker Ride” aside from its imitations, however, is the fact that players may receive various fixed percentages of the progressive jackpot prize pool depending upon the hands they manage to land.
Although no more details of the latest win are yet available, we can confirm that the lucky punter succeeded in taking down a juicy $132 917 pot for his or her unidentified hand.
During the last two months alone this increasingly popular game has offered up 5 very substantial wins to its faithful followers and even the smallest of the five amounted to just a fraction under $115 000.
Needless to say a winning streak such as the one described here always results in widespread new interest and the Microgaming network has been experiencing a lot of new punters seeking to take a “Poker Ride”. More players will mean that the prize pool will grow faster and fatter and thus it seems certain we can look forward to more wins and, very likely, these will feature some even bigger ones than those paid to date.
For anyone planning to switch their attention from the regular progressive slot games to video pokers, the obvious game choice right now would definitely appear to be “Poker Ride”. So, if you too are looking for something new by way of progressive jackpot action, those of you who have not yet experienced the thrill of the games lobby at All Slots Casino will find that this could be an excellent time for a change of venue also.
