William's Wife Wins ¼ Million playing the progressive slots, rags to riches, at the online casino, InterCasino!
Wife wins Online Progressive Jackpot Slots Fortune Playing on Husband's Online Casino Account! Online Casino, InterCasino.com called to congratulate its latest progressive slots winner, only to find out that gambling is a family affair in his house. 54-year-old player “William H.” was playing slots at the online casino ‘Rags to Riches' with his wife for an evening's entertainment before he decided to turn in for the night. Luckily, his wife had a few pulls on the one-armed bandit slots at the online casino left in her when she told William that she'd be joining him in a few minutes.
Just as William had gotten into bed, the calm of the evening was pierced by his wife's shouting near the computer. Knowing that she was at the online casino playing slots, William quickly sprung from bed in anticipation of a big payout. But William had no idea that his wife had just brought home the bacon – all $281.865 of it!
“My wife was beside herself, and I tried to stay pretty cool, but I just couldn't believe it,” said William. “We have been playing at this online casino for about three years and we've won big before, but this is the biggest win ever on slots or any other game.”
The lucky couple enjoys playing the online casino's slot machines, Let it Ride, and Caribbean Stud together. “Last year we won about $50,000 playing poker, we've hit royal flushes four or five times at this online casino, so we like to stick to poker, but when the jackpot on the Rags to Riches slots reaches over $180,000, we know it's due to bust. That's what put us on Rags to Riches the other night. I figure that the machine is due, and if there are only a few hundred people playing it at any one time, my chances are pretty good.”
William travels with his job, and often plays at the online casino from his hotel room while he is on the road, “it's cheaper than sitting at the bar,” mused William. But the lucky couple's win means that William's days on the road are near their end. “I will be putting most of the money away for my retirement in a few years, “$281,865 is a great boost to my retirement fund, but I also have had my eye on a two-seater jaguar, and I'm thinking about buying that too. Actually, I've already got the color picked out, silver, so I guess I am further along than just thinking about it,” William admits coyly.
