Willemstad, Curacao-June 25, 2003 - Lightning may not strike twice in the same spot, but luck certainly does for two players of the progressive slot machine games at The Sands of the Caribbean Online Casino.

Just two months ago, lucky player 'Clair W' scored a big spring bonus, hitting a $133,246 jackpot on the Rags-to-Riches progressive video slots at The Sands of the Caribbean Online Casino. As good as that was, the action got even hotter for player 'Lance P' who, on the heels of the summer solstice, pulled in an even bigger $155,281 jackpot on the same Rags-to-Riches games at The Sands of the Caribbean.

'Lance P' was ecstatic when he received a phone call from the VIP Manager Shelley Knight confirming his big jackpot score. "I really couldn't believe it," Lance recounted. "I looked at the numbers on the screen and thought, 'NO WAY! This can't be real.' Then when you called on the phone to congratulate me, I knew I really did win. WOW!".

In progressive video slot machine games such as Rags-to-Riches, the progressive jackpot is a bonus prize offered in addition to the individual game machine's biggest prize. Progressive prizes grow as more players play the progressive machines; and since progressive machines are usually situated throughout several different locations, this greatly increases the jackpot sizes available in a much shorter time than otherwise possible.

Big jackpot winners at The Sands of the Caribbean aren't all that unusual. Over the past two years, seven lucky players have struck it rich for a total of more than $1.4 million in jackpot cash awards-giving The Sands of the Caribbean a well-earned reputation as one of the "winningest" online casino destinations.

"Nothing makes us happier than when one of our regular players wins a big jackpot. But having two winners in as many months, that's really something special," Knight commented. "In fact, we think we may have set a record for the most progressive slots jackpot winners in the shortest amount of time for a single online casino. It's action like this that makes playing at The Sands of the Caribbean Online Casino a rewarding and exciting experience every day of the week."
