Winner of Grand Slam of Slots unveiled

The winner of the Grand Slam of Slots has been revealed as a player at LadbrokesCasino.com. The winner, known by the online name ‘Pattoned’, became the first online slots euro millionaire with his €1 million jackpot prize. He said he was “absolutely stunned” at the triumph.

Over 8,000 people took part in the Grand Slam of Slots, which lasted from October 23 and November 2. All entrants played on the Lara Croft Tomb Raider slot, and were competing for a share of the €1.3 million prize pool. In total, 482 of the players won prizes. LadbrokesCasino.com confirmed that 83 of these were playing at the casino, meaning its players won a combined €1,039,400 in prizes.

‘Pattoned,’ from South London, qualified for the tournament back on July 18 with a €2 bet. He was trailing ‘Rick H’ at the top of the leader board for a week until he hit the jackpot and took the lead with just one day left—which also happened to be his birthday. Still, Rick H could take consolation in the second prize of €50,000. All 10 top finishers in the tournament won free entry to the next Grand Slam of Slots.

The head of marketing at LadbrokesCasino.com, Charlie Goodenough, said that “it is a great honour to be involved in creating the first online slot tournament millionaire.” A spokesman for Microgaming, Mike Hebden, said that the tournament “certainly lived up to expectations.”
