Grand Slam Of Slots Delivers First Slots Tournament Millionaire - 11-05-09

November 5 – Microgaming's Grand Slam of Slots online slot tournament has concluded after 11 days of intense competition. We now have our first ever online slot tournament millionaire.

The tournament was being played across all Microgaming casinos, and the winner played via Ladbrokescasino.com player. The winners known by alias 'Pattoned', walked off with the €1 million grand prize.

Pattoned was obviously over the moon: " I'm ecstatic to have won and can't quite believe it yet. I'm absolutely stunned! What will I do with the money? Who knows; we'll have to wait and see! " When questioned further on whether he plans to quit work on the back of the massive win Pattoned went on to say: "I'm not thinking about leaving work at all, I absolutely love what I do and want to continue it for as long as I can".

Pattoned won his ticket into the finals through a €2 qualifying tournament, and the amazing this is that he posted his winning score on his birthday. Within 24 hours of the tournament's conclusion, he passed the then leader, Rick H, who had occupied the top spot for a week. The second placed player will at least win €50,000 second place prize and free entry, along with the other top 10 finishers, into the next Grand Slam final which promises to be even bigger!

A Microgaming spokes person said: "The tournament has certainly lived up to expectations and generated a tremendous buzz amongst the online slot playing community. We are delighted to have been the power behind the biggest ever online slot tournament and offer our congratulations to Pattoned on this historic win."

Charlie Goodenough, Head of Marketing at Ladbrokescasino.com said: "This tournament was always going to be exciting with one million Euros up for grabs and it is a great honour to be involved in creating the first online slot tournament millionaire. The Grand Slam of Slots has been a really innovative campaign to be involved in and has added a new dimension to our marketing activities."
