PartyCasino.com made one lucky slots player richer to the tune of over $1.8 million earlier this month while awarding another with a new Maserati Gran Tourismo automobile.
The Gibraltar-licensed site revealed that a player using the pseudonym ‘Arkry222’ took home its life-changing Gold Mega Jackpot on May 7 from just a two-dollar spin on its SuperStar game.
The 48-year-old player, who lives on a horse farm, won $1,888,198 and, as the Gold Mega Jackpot was tied into the Grand Win Auto leaderboard promotion, his fortune saw another rewarded with the new car.
"It was a Friday night and I wasn't far off going to bed and I was sat at the computer," said ‘Arky222’.
"I actually had the volume down on the computer as I had the television on. I was playing SuperStar and all of a sudden these squares came up. I hit complete and the screen lit up in loads of colour. Then the number appeared on the screen. I had never seen so many numbers in my life; it was an international phone number."
The player’s partner of 13 years was similarly disbelieving and called out ‘that's play money’. However, the realisation of what had just happened soon hit home with the ‘infrequent player’ revealing that the win would definitely alter his life.
"I was numb," said ‘Arky222’.
"I was on a different planet. It was then that I realised that I had missed a call from the VIP team at PartyCasino.com and it started to sink in a little bit more. I hadn't been feeling well all week but now I was just in this strange kind of happy limbo. I went back into my account and there it was, over $1.8 million
"I think I am going to have to spend the money on the standards of a holiday, a new car and new house. It will also allow me to be become more flexible with my working hours as I am going to go freelance. I will also have time to play a few more games on PartyCasino.com and I love the concepts of Melon Madness and The Circus."
The Grand Win Auto leaderboard promotion was due to run from May 6 to 19 and would see the player sitting at the top when the Gold Mega Jackpot was hit awarded with the new Maserati car or a cash equivalent.
"It didn't hit me until the next day that by winning the Gold Mega Jackpot someone else had won a Maserati," said ‘Arky222’.
"All I can say is to enjoy your drive, mate, and get in touch. Fancy taking me for a spin?"
"We'd like to congratulate ‘Arkry222’ on winning the Gold Mega Jackpot," read a statement from PartyCasino.com
"He is a super guy and very deserving.
"We would also like to congratulate the winner who enjoyed the spin-off from this win. We thought the Grand Win Auto promotion would last longer than one day but that's casino."

Chips are down for casinos as gamblers feel pinch - 8th May 2010
Revenue and employment sank at America's commercial casinos for the second straight year last year as consumers kept tight hold of their wallets during the recession and remained cautious at slot machines and gambling tables.
The American Gaming Association said yesterday casino revenue declined 5.5 per cent nationwide last year to US$30.74 billion ($43.28 billion).
Commercial casinos' payments to state and local governments fell 1.6 per cent last year to US$5.59 billion.
The trade group, which did not report on tribal casinos, found that casino visitors equalled more than a quarter of the United States population last year, but they spent less and risked less while they were there.
Owen O'Malley, a New York resident visiting Atlantic City, saw the difference in less crowded gambling tables and a much easier time settling down in front of a slot machine.
"You can see for yourself that the business is just not there," he said.
"It's definitely less crowded. It's easier to find a table nowadays."
The gaming group found that 48 per cent of all gamblers set a budget of less than US$100 last year, up from 45 per cent in 2008.
Atlantic City, the second-largest US gambling market after Las Vegas, was the epicentre of the casino industry's woes last year. Revenue there fell 13.2 per cent from 2008.
New Jersey was for years the only state besides Nevada with legal casinos, but it's now beset on all sides by fierce competition from slots parlours in Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware, not to mention Indian casinos a short drive away in Connecticut.
Nevada's casinos took in 10.4 per cent less, or US$10.3 billion.
"These results neatly summarise what casino operators, casino employees and state budget officers already experienced: 2009 was a difficult year for the industry," said Joe Weinert, senior vice-president of Spectrum Gaming Group, a New Jersey casino consulting firm.
"Few gaming markets were spared the impacts of the bad economy," he said.
"As we saw, beginning in the second half of 2008, the casino industry is no longer resistant to recession. For better or worse, the industry's 2010 performance will be tied to Americans' feelings of financial well-being."
Pennsylvania led the US in casino revenue growth with a 21.6 per cent increase. Much of that is attributable to two new casinos opening last year, bringing the state's total to nine.

PartyCasino News: Grand Win Auto At PartyCasino - Win A Maserati When You Go For The Ultimate Spin!
Gibraltar – 4th May 2010 - PartyCasino.com is offering the chance for customers to go full throttle on the jackpot slots from the 6th-19th May through its coolest leader board ever! The task is easy: climb the leader board by earning points and the person who is top of the leader board when the Gold Mega Jackpot or The Big One is hit will win a brand new Maserati!
A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “PartyPoker.com is offering the chance to win an Aston Martin DB9 Coupe and now PartyCasino.com is offering the chance to win a Maserati. To be in contention to win this dream car is simple, just be top of the leader board and you win the car if the Gold Mega Jackpot or The Big One is hit. If neither jackpot is hit before the 19th May, leader board position still puts customers in line for a share of $150,000!”
The jackpot slots that earn points for the Grand Win Auto leader board are Mega Fortune Wheel, The Godfather, Super Mystic, Super Star, Super Joker, Super Fortune Wheel and Melon Madness. The Big One currently stands at nearly $2 million, while the Gold Mega Jackpot is nearly $1.3 million.
PartyCasino.com now offers over 150 games, including 100 slots, and easily pays out over $10 million EVERY DAY to players. The world’s largest online casino continues to expand rapidly. PartyCasino.com has recently introduced ‘The Circus,’ which is a five reel, 20 line slot that includes 16 features and four characters and it is heavily influenced by the golden years of ‘The Circus’ between the 1850’s and the 1950’s. Added to this unique look and feel is the special role-playing element. A customer can choose to be one of four characters and the aim is to learn the story of all the characters. Through play, a customer increases the ‘abilities’ of their character, which in turn influences their real win multiplier – all four characters’ abilities are carried over session to session and the character in play can be changed after any spin.
