Ladbrokes Yields First Grand Slam of Slots Millionaire

When top online gambling software developer Microgaming first suggested running an online slots tournament with a €1 million grand prize, many thought the company was crazy, but many months down the line, the Grand Slam of Slots has come to an end and produced its first ever millionaire.

What is known about the lucky UK online slots fan and latest online millionaire known only by his online alias 'Pattoned', is that he managed to win the Grand Slam of Slots after signing up at Ladbrokescasino.com. As a Microgaming-powered online casino, all Ladbrokes's players had access to the tournament.

Pattoned was obviously ecstatic after he won his place in the finals of the Grand Slam of Slots thanks to a €2 qualifier. And once in the final, he proved virtually unstoppable, as with less than 24 hours to go in the tournament he surpassed Rick H, who had been at the top of the leader board, to go into the lead.

That lead proved to great to catch and when the Grand Slam of Slots officially ended, Pattoned was €1 million richer while Rick H had to be content with second place. The one consolation of coming so close to becoming an overnight millionaire is that Rick H got to walk away with the €50,000 second prize.

Plus, he and the rest of the top 10 finishers will each be able to enjoy an automatic entry into the next Grand Slam of Slots, which is expected to be even bigger and better than this one. But it's still hard to believe that after 11 grueling and nail-biting days, the world's richest online slots tournament is finally over.

Said an ecstatic Pattoned, 'I 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. 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.' There's no doubt that he'll be back for more.
