Slotland Online Casino made headlines last week after one of their members broke the record for largest jackpot ever awarded at Slotland. Weighing in at $179,166, the progressive jackpot was hit by a player spinning the reels of the Golden 8 online video slot. Not only is this great news for the player pocketing the cash, all players now stand to benefit from frequently larger progressive jackpots, for Slotland Casino immediately announced they have doubled the seed jackpot on their progressive games from $25,000 to $50,000.

The Golden 8 online slots have already surpassed the $100,000 mark since the big jackpot win last week, which is indicative of the increased seed jackpot. With a greater starting amount, jackpots will obviously grow to larger sums in a shorter amount of time. And with more big-money wins coming from the ranks of Slotland, it should be a given that more players will be contributing to the jackpot, resulting in an exponential effect in overall winnings.

This is not the first time that Slotland has raised the jackpot seed on its players (something which Casino Manager, Hannah Morante, jokingly says nobody has complained about). Slotland was one of the first online casinos to go in operation back in the early days of online gambling. They opened their doors in 1998 with seed progressive jackpots starting off at $10,000. As membership numbers have grown over the years and Slotland has become one of the most popular slot casinos on the Web, the jackpots have been steadily rising.

Bigger jackpots does not necessarily mean more winners though - This is for Slotland's proprietary software Random Number Generator to decide. However, it does mean the wins that do happen will be for larger sums, and that overall monthly payout percentages will still remain in the upper nineties percentile. Players interested in gambling at Slotland Casino can do so with a minimum deposit of $10, for which they will receive a 100% Match Bonus. All games are no-download Flash, and are compatible with a wide range of mobile phones and handsets.
