An online slot player named “MRSSMITHS” has won the Booster slot machine jackpot of $168,947. MRSSMITHS was playing the game on the Slotland website and managed to hit the progressive jackpot. It had been longer than expected for the jackpot to be hit, so when it did it was a good amount of money.

Martin Smith of Slotland stated: “I think a lot of people thought our progressive jackpot would be won after it hit the $100,000 mark, every day that it kept going up and up without being won just amazed us!”

The progressive jackpot at Slotland is usually hit every six weeks for a little over $100,000, but as of late, the winners have won far more than the usual amount. The Slotland website offer several slot machines and video poker games that are connected to the progressive jackpot. These games can also be played over the phone or PDAs.

The Booster game, where the jackpot was hit, is a single pay line slot machine with a wild boost symbol. When the boost symbol is coming, the player will be given the option to keep their current bet or to boost it by ten. Booster also takes any bet that does not win and moves it to a special fund. That fund can be cashed out at any time for ten percent of the amount or players can choose the win/lose spin option. The win/lose option will give the player a chance to win back all of their lost wagers.

The last player to win on a slot machine at Slotland, was in March, when a Canadian player won almost $200,000 while playing Treasure Box. Each progressive at Slotland is reset to $50,000 after each win and will continue to rebuild until it is hit again, which probably isn’t very long according to recent wins.
