The £1 Million Spin that Reels 'em In
LONDON, UK -- May 11, 2005 - Cyberslotz.co.uk, the UK's leading online fruit machine and games website*, makes history today with the launch of the largest online jackpot ever. The new game, Jackpot Roulette, created exclusively for Cyberslotz.co.uk, has a guaranteed £1 million jackpot (US $1,869,260) - the largest on the Internet by £460,000.
Part of the RAL Group of companies, the owner of Britain's reputable 135 high street adult gaming centres QuickSilver, Cyberslotz.co.uk is committed to providing its customers with the most revolutionary and enjoyable games to play on the web. As one of only a handful of operators to own its own software, over the last six-months the company has launched three unique games, including the world's first six-wheel roulette game 'Multi-wheel Roulette' as well as 'Jackpot Roulette'. This takes its impressive selection of unique and classic online games to 22 and reaffirms its position as one of UK's premiere online gaming destinations.
Jackpot Roulette is an exciting enhancement to European Roulette, with a single number paying out 35-to-one. However, unlike the casino classic, whereby only one wheel is used, Jackpot Roulette brings six wheels into play, increasing the player's chance of winning by a factor of five. Furthermore, if the roulette balls land on the same number on three or more of the six wheels, the player wins an additional jackpot - ranging from £30 to £1 million.
To win the £1 million guaranteed jackpot the roulette balls must land on the same number on all six wheels. If, however five numbers are matched, then the player wins the progressive jackpot, with a guaranteed minimum payout of £30,000, four numbers pays out £1,250 and three £30. Of course, if no one gets five numbers the same - the £30,000 jackpot just keeps growing.
"As online game players' tastes become increasingly sophisticated, so does their appetite for more visually appealing and rewarding games. Because we own our software, we are one of the few companies that can really take on board customer comments and react accordingly." Said Brian Morgan Managing Director of RAL Interactive, the company that operates Cyberslotz.co.uk.
"What better way to demonstrate this than by launching the world's first Jackpot Roulette game, one that combines the elegance of a casino classic with the Internet's largest ever guaranteed jackpot of £1 million. We are looking forward to making someone a 'real' millionaire very soon."
