Within the first few months that Hopa.com increased the jackpot from €200,000 to €1 million, Hopa.com has the first jackpot winner.

Lydie A., had a fantastic end to the summer as she became the first ever €1 million winner at leading online scratch card website, Hopa.com. Lydie A., a high profile and avid player on the site, won her fortune playing the recently launched multi scratch game Super 3 WOW, where players have to scratch away to find three matching clovers on a single card. An extremely shocked Lydie A., told Hopa.com representatives:

“This is not joy; it is madness because after winning 250,000Euros, it takes some time to come back to EARTH! I became stuck to my chair and could not believe what was happening to me. I checked it for a long time and realized that these 250,000Euros were not a dream but a reality when a member of the HOPA team contacted me to congratulate me on my 1,000,000Euros win! Yes you heard 1,000,000Euros! It’s fabulous and so unpredictable…”

This is her biggest win yet, following her last fortune of €100,000 which she won in September 2009 playing Super Slot 7 at Hopa.com.

This is the first time ever that such a fortune of €1 million has been won. Dreams really do come true at Hopa.com!

Based on the saturday night hit TV game show hosted by Dale Winton, this cool online fruit machine game gives you the chance to see what you’re made of. Clear the walls and reap the rewards in a fun bonus round that plays just like the show. For the most part the fruit machine is a fairly standard multi-win line game, the difference between this fruit machine and others is the bonus round and the free spins you can win.

The bonus round works like this ~ get 2 or more ‘Hole In The Wall’ symbols in any position and you automatically get a scatter award. Get 3 or more ‘Hole In The Wall’ symbols to trigger the bonus game. Click on one of the bonus symbols to reveal a ‘starting award’, which is based on your total stake for that spin. This is yours to keep no matter what happens in the bonus. The number of triggering symbols, up to 5, determines how many walls you will face.

You enter the bonus round with the award amount you revealed on the bonus symbol. Each time you successfully clear a wall you earn an additional bonus multiplier that increases your starting award. The more walls you clear the larger the bonus multiplier. What’s more, the bonus multipliers you earn are added together.

This is a great little fruit machine from Paddy Power Games, considering you also get a free cash bonus when you join! I’ve made a video of the fruit machine so you can see how the game works.

You can watch a short video for the Hole In The Wall Fruit Machine below.

They are the newest form of lottery, and a lot of people consider them to be a lot more thrilling. It is not just the National Lottery that deals in scratch cards and high payouts though ~ you can also play for high stakes online. They also pay out instantly and there is a very high win rate with a very broad range of jackpot prizes.

You can play online cards for a little as 0.10p each which a good deal cheaper than the ones you buy in the shop which now cost a minimum of £1 and up to £5 per card. Scratch cards are always a game of chance so there is not a lot you can do to increase your chances of winning, but the more cards you buy the more likely you are to win. This does not necessarily mean that you spend more money on cards, just choose the ones with the lesser purchase values. For example, if you were to buy one scratch card at your local shop, it would cost you £1 – £2, whereas online you could buy 10 – 20 cards for that amount online.

Jackpot Joy Scratch Cards are the best gaming site for scratch cards, and you can play numerous scratch card games including Deal or No Deal, Noughts and Crosses, Crazy Fruits, Gold Fever, Golden Balls, Monopoly, Money Machine, The Price is Right, Money Machine, Sharon Osbourne, Genie, Cash Crop, A Girls Night Out, Whole Lotta Luck to name but a few.

It’s not uncommon for progressive jackpots to reach over £1 million, the highest one I’ve seen is $3.5 million on the slot Major Millions. Progressive games normally cost a little more to play then regular casino games where the jackpots are fixed amounts. They cost more because a few pennies from each spin or game is added to the progressive jackpot total. Progressive games may still have a normal jackpot, plus smaller prizes too. You might be required to bet the max on a particular slot or game to be in with a chance of winning the progressive jackpot, this is something to watch out for as some casinos don’t make this clear.

There is no denying that it’s much harder to win a progressive jackpot, and because these games are more expensive it can quickly reduce your bankroll, try to think of progressive games as a quick hit, drop a few quid on one and then play something else that’s got better odds. It’s tempting to over play these types of slots and fruit machines, but the odds really aren’t in your favour! Having said that someone has to win them ~ it just never seems to be me!

Below I’ve added a live banner from Jackpot Joy Casino with the current progressive jackpot for the Deal Or No Deal game, this is the real amount you could win if you’re very, very lucky! Remember all the casinos list by The Game Hunter are safe, secure and designed for UK players.

Most sites will allow you to have a ‘Play for Fun’ account which means that you can try out the games without spending a penny which is great. It gives you the opportunity to practise and develop some strategies before reaching for the wallet. It also means that you won’t waste your money learning how the game is played. In saying that, some will not let you practise for fun on the progressive jackpot games so watch out for those and stick with the ones that let you have a go for free.

The game of backgammon is played on a board which is marked out with 24 triangles which are called points. These triangles alternate in colour and are grouped into 4 quadrants which consist of 6 triangles each. The points are numbered for either player starting in the players home board (the inner table next to you), the outermost point being the 24 point, which is your opponents 1 point. The aim of the game is to try and get your checkers, of which you have 15 of the one colour (e.g: black), into your home board, and then to bear them off the board. If you manage to do this before your opponent gets his or her 15 (e.g: white) checkers off the board then you are the winner of the game. White checkers move in a clockwise direction and black in an anti-clockwise direction on the board.

To set up the game you need to arrange the checkers so that you have two on your 24 point, five on your 13 point, three on your 8 point and five on your 6 point. Your opponent has the same set up. Each player will be in possession of a pair of dice and a doubling cube which has the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 on its faces. Backgammon is played for a stake, which has been agreed at the start of the game and the doubling cube is used when you feel as though you have a good advantage. You can then make your opponent use the doubling cube to multiply the stake of the game – be warned that this can only be used at the start of your turn, before you have rolled the dice.

The player who roles the highest dice goes first, and throwing takes place in turn. You can move two checkers the numbers rolled by the individual dice or you can move one checker the total of the two dice. You always move forward, to an open point – a point that is not occupied by two or more opposing checkers – checkers belonging to your opponent. It is worth bearing in mind that a point with one or more pieces on it is safe and your opponent cannot land there, but points with only one checker on (a blot) is a vulnerable checker because if your opponent lands on the point your checker will be taken.

Once you have moved all your checkers into your home board, you begin to bear off, which you do by rolling a number that corresponds to the point on which your checker is sitting. If you roll the correct number you can take the checker off the board. However if there is no checker on the point indicated by the rolled dice then you must use a checker on a higher number point. Where it all gets tricky is when, if your checker is hit by your opponent during your bearing off phase then you have to bring the checker back to your home board before you can start bearing off again!
