Newcastle man hits GBP2.6m jackpot with CryptoLogic's Millionaires Club

Civil servant's 90p bet on the popular slot game at SkyVegas.com bags one of the biggest online wins

June 10, 2011 (Dublin, IRELAND) - CryptoLogic Limited, a developer of branded online betting games and Internet casino software, is pleased announced that a 37-year old civil servant from Newcastle, England has scooped a GBP2.6 million jackpot win with Millionaires Club, the Company's award winning online casino slot game.

The winner staked just 90p on the nine line, five-reel slot game at SkyVegas.com, a leading CryptoLogic games licensee, last Friday -- and walked away with one of the biggest wins online after successfully spinning his way through several progressive bonus rounds.

He is the fourth player to become an instant millionaire from Millionaires Club, which was created and is licensed by CryptoLogic to many of the world's leading online casino operators. The jackpot builds up as players across the Millionaires Club network try their luck on the game. The biggest ever payout from the game was in 2007, amounting to $8 million.

The player, who is the biggest SkyVegas winner to date, now plans to spend some of the prize money buying houses for himself and his parents.

Sky Vegas' Head of Gaming, John Parsonage, said: "We are in the business of making instant millionaires. This is the second time one of our players has bagged a life-changing windfall from CryptoLogic's game and is a great crowd-puller for our site. We are planning to launch another million pound jackpot slot soon so hopefully there will be even more SkyVegas millionaires in the future." CryptoLogic has one of the most comprehensive casino content suites on the Internet, with games featuring some of the world's most famous action and entertainment characters, resulting in multiple industry awards and rave reviews from players. In addition to SkyVegas, they can be played at some of the world's top online gaming sites, including InterCasino, William Hill, 888, bwin.party and others.

Ian Price, CryptoLogic's Head of Business and Product Development, said: "Since its launch in 2005, Millionaires Club has a gained loyal following due to its innovative content and a unique blend of compelling entertainment value and big cash prizes. We congratulate SkyVegas and the player on this win, which again highlights the game's huge appeal to casino operators and players worldwide."
