GIBRALTAR, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Lucky Player Wins over £400,000 from a £3 Stake

One lucky Casino player hit the jackpot online at StanJames.com Casino over the weekend, pocketing a whopping £413,490 on the 'Major Millions' progressive slot. The jackpot was won with a small stake of only £3.

The player, Cliff from London, was understandably elated after his big win in the early hours of Saturday morning and planned on celebrating by "playing a game of cricket before heading to the pub."

Speaking of the Major Millions jackpot dropping, StanJames.com CEO Denis Kelly said: "We're delighted that one of our players won the jackpot on the Major Millions casino game.

"This is everything that the StanJames.com Casino is about - having a bit of fun with the opportunity to win big money at the same time. We just hope Cliff got a round of drinks in when he went to celebrate!"

The popular online operator is hoping that the next high-profile winner in the StanJames.com Casino wins an even bigger jackpot, as there is over £5 million up for grabs in the casino with huge games including The Dark Knight^[TM] and Mega Fortune.

Ashley Sandyford-Sykes Head of Quickfire added: "It is always great to see large wins on the progressive jackpot network; we are delighted for the player and StanJames.com Casino."

The Major Millions game is provided by Quickfire, powered by Microgaming, and is one of over 200 games available to players in the StanJames.com Casino and Games rooms. The next Quickfire game addition to StanJames.com Casino will be Dr Watts Up, themed on an eccentric scientist and his whacky laboratory, and will be live to players in June.
