Craps.com Member Wins $119,593 on 25c Line Bet
Craps.com Member Wins $119,593 on 25c Line Bet
One member at the Craps.com online casino placed a 25c bet and walked away with winnings totalling $119,593 from the popular Queen of Pyramids slot machine.
(PRWEB) February 20, 2009 — Just as the online casino is getting ready to honour its second birthday, another member at Craps.com (http://www.craps.com/) has a good reason to celebrate with the Casino at its party – she won astounding $119,593 on one spin of the reels. What makes this win even more unbelievable is that only 25c was the line bet placed on the winning reels.
Marie-Claire P. of Canada won the jackpot after just 20 minutes of playing online. The teacher, who currently resides in Quebec, only wagered the minimum line bet on the Queen of Pyramids progressive slot machine (http://www.craps.com/progressive.html).
In a winning interview with Marie Claire, she stated that “I had a premonition a few days before telling me that I was going to win big and so I knew I had to play. When I saw my winnings I was in shock. I screamed, but I was very happy. I think I will spend my winnings on a holiday to Tahiti and maybe some home renovations”.
Marie Claire went on to say, “My favourite online casino is Craps.com, the games have amazing graphics, the Support staff are excellent and the over all feel of the casino is a reliable one. I feel that this is one online casino you can definitely trust. My advice to other Craps.com members would be to play according to what you can afford and play for the enjoyment of the games”.
In a twist of fate, only a few days prior to her big win, Marie-Claire forgot her casino client password and decided to immediately contact the 24/7 support team of http://www.craps.com to have it re-sent to her. “It was lucky that she contacted our team so quickly,” stated casino manager, Jean Russell, “If she had waited until a later date, the jackpot may not have been hers!”

Slotland Jackpot Soars Over $160K — Loose Progressive Jackpot is Larger than last one and Approaching Record Breaking Amount
Slotland Jackpot Soars Over $160K — Loose Progressive Jackpot is Larger than last one and Approaching Record Breaking Amount
Slotland’s notoriously regular progressive jackpot hasn’t been hit since before Christmas, but that’s given the popular jackpot time to grow to a near record-breaking amount. This week, the Slotland jackpot jumped to over $160K, much higher than the last win of $110K. Slotland’s jackpot, available on all of the slots and video games on the site, has a history of being hit every 4 – 6 weeks or so.
London, UK (PRWEB) February 20, 2009 — Slotland’s notoriously regular progressive jackpot hasn’t been hit since before Christmas, but that’s given the popular jackpot time to grow to a near record-breaking amount. This week, the Slotland (http://www.slotland.com) jackpot jumped to over $160K, much higher than the last win of $110K. It could even go as high or higher than the largest win ever which was $195K won last March.
Slotland’s jackpot, available on all of the slots and video games on the site, has a history of being hit every 4 – 6 weeks or so. Jackpots are usually $100,000 to $150,000. While the jackpots aren’t the biggest on the internet they are hit so frequently that they are always popular with online slots (http://www.slotland.com) players. Last year, Slotland awarded nearly a million dollars in progressive jackpot (http://www.slotland.com) wins.
The jackpot can be won on any game but it doesn’t appear that any one slot machine (http://www.slotland.com) or video poker (http://www.slotland.com) game is luckier than an another. In the last year, big jackpots have been won on the Booster, on Wild Heart, on the new Four Cast and on the ever popular Treasure Box slot machines.
With the launch late last year of Megaspin, Slotland.com currently features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s games give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot (http://www.slotland.com). All of the slots and video poker games on the mobile network are also tied to the same jackpot pools. Slotland is available in Spanish at Es.Slotland.com.

Full Sail University Announces Groundbreaking of New On-Campus Landmark Project
Full Sail University Announces Groundbreaking of New On-Campus Landmark Project
Full Sail University (www.fullsail.edu) will hold a groundbreaking event on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 to announce and unveil the renderings of the new Full Sail Studios Gateway project, a 2.2 acre landmark project that includes a multi-purpose/live performance venue, a two-story studio complex which holds a state-of-the-art game production studio and flagship recording studio, an outdoor plaza courtyard, and an expansion to the on-campus professional film studio Backlot.
Winter Park, FL – Full Sail University (fullsail.edu (http://www.fullsail.edu/index.cfm?mnc=813&kw=PRGroundbreaking&utm_source=813&utm_medium=pr&utm_term=PRGroundbreaking&utm_content=home)) will hold a groundbreaking event on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 to announce and unveil the renderings of the new Full Sail Studios Gateway project, a 2.2 acre landmark project that includes a multi-purpose/live performance venue, a two-story studio complex which holds a state-of-the-art game production (http://www.fullsail.edu/game-development/overview.html) studio and flagship recording (http://www.fullsail.edu/recording-arts/overview.html) studio, an outdoor plaza courtyard, and an expansion to the on-campus professional film (http://www.fullsail.edu/film/overview.html) studio Backlot.
The Full Sail team, in partnership with MRI Architectural Group and a team of highly specialized consultants, collaborated to create an innovatively designed building that defines a cutting-edge futuristic campus. This will be the first ground-up building that has been constructed by Full Sail. Orlando’s LAMM & Company Partners will serve as the project’s general contractor and construction manager.
“Over the years the projects that we have done in collaboration with Full Sail have consisted of over 300,000 sq. ft. of renovation, have employed more than 3,000 workers over time and represent a substantial investment in Orange County that serves to solidify Full Sail’s role as one of the leading entertainment media universities in the world today,” said Joshua Marinov, Vice President of LAMM & Company Partners. “This project alone will mean work for nearly 1,000 people through the various trades and supply chains.”
The project begins at the main entrance, the Full Sail archway, and allows visitors to pass under an illuminated arch that leads to the Backlot area and Venue plaza, and the façade features a fluid exterior design of seamless sails. The WIFI equipped plaza includes hardscape architectural elements with bike trails and seating areas that feature a glow of evening LED lights, and will serve as a connecting place for students, staff and faculty.
The Full Sail Live Venue is a 22,000 sq. ft. acoustically engineered multi-purpose facility that features seating for 500 people, a moveable, demountable stage, and world class, audio and video equipment. A green room is provided for special guests and catering facilities are incorporated. Interior and exterior lighting has been specially designed to highlight the unique architecture of the building, and to enhance the ethereal experience of the plaza courtyard.
The building that houses the game production (http://www.fullsail.edu/game-development/overview.html) and recording (http://www.fullsail.edu/recording-arts/overview.html) studios is a two-story 10,600 sq. ft. space. The ground floor holds a full-size, flagship recording studio that incorporates recording technology and variable acoustic isolation areas that can be utilized by both students and professionals. The hallways feature oversized acoustic windows that will allow guests to easily view the recording process.
The second floor game production studio space will be created to duplicate all of the facilities common to a game studio. The space has areas designed for audio, graphic and technical development, as well as team meeting rooms and production offices. While working on final projects, students will experience the atmosphere associated with a professional studio environment.
Pete Ikegami, President of MRI Architects said, “Thirteen years ago we established a design relationship to create dynamic spaces that stimulate the minds of creative individuals utilizing economical materials and construction. Over the years and with over 700,000 square feet of projects on campus, we have refined our designs with each project becoming more exciting, and further evolving the unique architectural style of Full Sail University. This new project is the latest generation based on the original design mission, using simple concrete tilt-wall construction and a green building design approach.”
The Hollywood-style Backlot portion of the project adds the final phase to complete the existing film Backlot (http://www.fullsail.edu/campus-explorer/facilities/146-film-backlot.html) that will now total 2078 linear feet. The new addition will be a 35′ high expansion to the Amsterdam façade, which will be another environment area for students of Full Sail to use and enjoy. The Backlot will then offer 19 different outdoor locations designed to expand students’ storytelling capabilities giving them flexibility and creative range for student projects, and currently features such iconic locations as the Seattle Fish Market, New Orleans’ French Quarter, and New York City’s Brownstones, as well as general locations such as a gas station, multiple urban and suburban storefronts, a Venetian-style bridge, and a studio water tower.
“Working with Full Sail on such projects as the Film Backlot, it is refreshing to see Full Sail using immersive, themed environments to complement and enhance the education of their students,” said Bill Nassal, Partner, The Nassal Company. “This creative, outside of the box approach separates Full Sail from other institutions and provides an extraordinary value to the student experience.”
Stella Posada, Full Sail University’s Senior Vice President of Image & Design and Development further added, “We are extremely excited to break ground on this organic, fluid and futuristic design for our students, staff and faculty. As always, Full Sail has focused on creating distinctive spaces while being sensitive to the environment, and we are certain that this new addition will further enhance the already remarkable experience we strive to provide, and will offer a new venue to the Central Florida cultural landscape.”
