The Gold Rally Progressive Slot has paid out $2.5 million at Playtech-powered online casino 32Vegas.com and made one lucky player and instant millionaire.
32Vegas.com is a playtech powered online casino that has been around for about four years. The Internet casino stated that a Dutch player identified only as ‘Rens’ took home the prize, the largest ever jackpot at a Playtech casino and the second biggest in history. The previous Gold Rally record was just over two million dollars to online player ‘DianeB’ and www.32Vegas.com has also paid out a jackpot just below one million dollars in the past.
The casino stated that the jackpot was hit on February 1 as the player was about to quit and continue playing the next day. Thinking he was dreaming, the winning competitor called his best mate over to check that he wasn’t imagining the win. ‘Rens’ stated that he generally plays only for fun and finally realised that he wasn’t dreaming after receiving a telephone call from 32Red.com staff to verify his details.
‘Rens’ stated that he is still getting used to the fact that he is now a millionaire and plans to open an art workshop after he has done some home renovations and purchased a new car.

Looking for a reason to visit Mohegan Sun?
Shana Kelley, the latest multi-million dollar winner from Somerville, Massachusetts, can give you at least 3.5 million.
During a family visit over President’s Day weekend, the 21-year-old college student decided to test her luck at her favorite slot machine, a Progressive Wheel of Fortune Special Edition. After investing $100.00, Kelley hit it big, winning just over $3.5 million.
“I did not realize I won millions, I thought it was thousands,” said Kelley. “I started to shake, [my] mom was going nuts!” Kelley plans to finish college and will invest part of her new-found fortune in a home.
Kelley’s win was the third jackpot of the month and is currently the largest payout of the year. Mohegan Sun has already awarded almost $6 million in MegaJackpot. prize money in 2008 and is one of the busiest gaming facilities in terms of MegaJackpot. payouts. Since opening in 1996, Mohegan Sun has paid out over $100 million in MegaJackpot. prizes.
Under a current gaming compact with the State of Connecticut, Mohegan Sun gives the state 25-percent of the monthly slot revenue. After the completion of its Project Horizon expansion in 2010, Mohegan Sun will be home to over 7,600 slot machines.
Mohegan Sun is currently in the midst of Project Horizon - a multi-million dollar expansion that calls for a new 922-room hotel, featuring 261 House of Blues-themed rooms and an exclusive members-only House of Blues Foundation Room. The expansion also includes approximately 115,000 square feet of additional retail and restaurant space, and a new 64,000 square-foot Casino of the Wind. Upon full completion in 2010, Project Horizon is expected to add more than 1.4 million square feet to Mohegan Sun’s existing structure.
Mohegan Sun, owned by the Mohegan Tribe, is one of the largest, most distinctive and spectacular entertainment, gaming, shopping and meeting destinations in the United States. Situated on 240 acres along the Thames River in scenic southeastern Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is within easy access of New York, Boston, Hartford and Providence and located 15 minutes from the museums, antique shops and waterfront of Mystic Country.

MACAU — As reported by Asia Times: “Figures due this week are expected to show that Macau is bigger than Las Vegas. The former Portuguese enclave in China raked in US$10.4 billion in gaming winnings in 2007, virtually matching the 2006 take for Clark County, the Nevada jurisdiction that includes Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
“If Macau misses in the 2007 data, it’s only a matter of time before it leaves Las Vegas twinkling in its rearview mirror. Macau already far outearns the famous Las Vegas Strip, even though the Strip has a 50% advantage in the number of both visitors and casinos. Minimum bets in the Chinese territory usually set at HK$100 (US$12.85), compared with a less than US$1 in some Vegas locations, allow Macau to take in far more per customer and per table than Las Vegas.
“Three of the biggest names in Las Vegas - Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Sands (owners of the Venetian), and MGM Grand - have built mammoth properties that would fit right in back in Vegas. But size, whether it’s your square footage or bankroll, isn’t everything.
“…Casino resorts in Vegas now earn half of their revenue from non-gambling activities, said Bill Eadington, director of the Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming at University of Nevada, Reno.
“In Macau, the non-casino attractions have barely begun. The Venetian, Macau’s first Las Vegas-scale integrated resort, includes big name shopping in a 200-plus unit mall, Asia’s largest convention venue, and the Venetian Arena, the 15,000 seat arena that’s already hosted Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, the Cleveland Cavaliers of US basketball, and Pete Sampras’ victory over Roger Federer in a tennis clash of the ages.”
“…What will set Macau apart aren’t gambling and Vegas imitations, but its unique Mediter-Asian heritage. Macau’s real success, big enough to justify the billions invested, won’t be Asia’s Las Vegas but as the world’s only Macau.”

Police in Israel arrested seven people and detained 18 others for questioning last weekend on suspicion of running an illegal online gambling ring said to be worth tens of million of dollars a year.
According to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, investigators from the International and Serious Crimes Unit together with the Gidonim Unit, the operational arm of the Israel Police’s Lahav 433 unit, and Israel’s equivalent of the FBI raided the homes and offices of those behind Tel Aviv-based Play2Bet.com and KG Money Changers in Ramat Gan following an investigation into money laundering.
Investigators allege that several underworld figures helped staff from Play2Bet.com launder millions of dollars via KG Money Changers to foreign bank accounts. In addition, officials stated that the profits from other illegal enterprises were also laundered through KG Money Changers.
Police stated that four of the suspects arrested, Eliran Oved, Aryeh Avraham, David Hachmon and Yossi Ben-Shitreet, have had their detentions extended until Sunday to allow for further questioning.
The Post reported that the International and Serious Crimes Unit’s undercover investigation began after the Northern Fraud Squad received information that Play2Bet.com was offering gambling services that Israeli authorities believe to be illegal.
Police stated that they found that the site’s earnings were routed through KG Money Changers and then either laundered domestically or transferred overseas, describing a complex system in which bets were placed through regional and group leaders. Access to the site was via a ‘closed’ list with each gambler receiving a personal log-in name and password after placing a significant down payment to cover any initial bets.
