Year of the Dragon Lucky for this High Tech Professional. Richard Wins $12,714.77 Playing Cash Splash At 1st Web Casino.
Player Richard H., Father of 4 and Director of Information Technology for a High Tech Company, won $12,714.77 progressive jackpot playing Cash Splash Slot at First Web online casino on January 17th, 2001. Cash Splash is a popular 3 reel single payline slot machine game developed by Microgaming. Now you can play enhanced 5 reel 15 payline version of the game connected to the shared progressive jackpot. Richard H told the story about recent big win:What did you do when you realized you'd hit the jackpot?
"The funny thing was that I was sitting at work talking to someone, and using the $50 payback opportunity First Web Casino offered, and while we were talking, I realized that I got the $50 back. So I decided to put it back in and play some more, and sure enough maybe the third or forth spin it was it. When the little window popped up, the person that was with me said 'look someone won!' and then I looked and saw it was me! I was really surprised."
Who did you tell first?
"I told my wife who immediately wanted $3,000 up front. She is from Pakistan, so she is a firm believer in sharing your wealth...and she is modest. If it were my ex-wife from California, she would have asked for all of it! But seriously, it was just a really nice surprise."
What is your star sign?
"My zodiac sign is Virgo. But the real interesting thing is that I was born in the year of the dragon, and I won all my winnings in the year of the dragon. That year ended yesterday, so the year of the snake starts today, we’ll see what this year holds for me. I am planning to continue to play and have the luck I had last year."
How will you spend your winnings?
"The $3,000 that my wife asked for is for her to go to Pakistan and visit her family. During that time, I'll probably go fishing in Alaska!"
What piece of advice has most helped you through life?
"I would say, go with your instincts. I try to live by that and it has been working for me until now. I am blessed with a wife and 4 kids ages 11, 12,13 and 14."
What else would you like to share with us?
"The only online casinos that I play are the ones with the Microgaming software. They have all my favorite Microgaming games. All of their games are great. I like the fact that they are downloaded games. I have a lot of respect regarding how they developed the software for this. Since I am in the business: I am the Director of Information Technology for a web site, I can really appreciate it. All the Microgaming casino software looks really nice and it really seems like they are serious about it."
