Slingo Classic Bonus slot pays out big

NICHOLS, New York -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- A quick spin of the reels on a Slingo Classic Bonus slot machine was all it took for one lucky player to walk away with a $61,664.85 jackpot. This is the single largest Slingo Classic Bonus progressive jackpot won in New York and marks the eighth statewide progressive win for the video slot game that has been available since last November.

Duane Eccleston, a resident of Waverly, N.Y., hit the winning jackpot on July 5, 2009 at the Tioga Downs Casino in Nichols, New York. Duane won on a 5-reel, 20-line, 5-cent slot game that features a top statewide progressive jackpot that can be won on any of the 48 Slingo Classic Bonus video slot games connected throughout New York state.

"We at Slingo also congratulate Duane for hitting the largest Slingo Classic Jackpot in New York," said David Lyons, VP of Slingo Casino Division.

The Slingo Classic Bonus video slot game features stacked wild Slingo Jokers and scatter pays with a bonus game that plays like the classic Slingo online game and activates when the Slingo card symbol appears on reels 1 and 5, with all lines in play.
