We are so used to online casinos tempting us with their wares that it came as quite a shock when we saw a press release urging us NOT to play a certain game. Even more surprising was the fact that the warning was made by the winner of a massive R1 million jackpot! But it seems that the press release did the trick because after rushing to read why the jackpot winner was so adamant that we don’t play at one of our favorite South African casinos of all times, Thunderbolt Casino, we were relieved to see that it was all spoken in jest.
The background to this story is that a player from KwaZulu-Natal headed to Thunderbolt Casino last week, as he always does when he wants to enjoy playing great online casino games. 33 year old Adriaan Botha relaxed at home playing Bubble Bubble 2 video slot on his mobile phone, using funds from his R4,000 cashback bonus awarded to him at Thunderbolt Casino earlier on.
The Pietermaritzburg-based player was absolutely thrilled with his win, although he said that he was in complete shock when he first learned about his million Rand win.
“When I realized it was 100% true, I did a happy dance!” he said, pointing out that he has been lucky numerous times in the past but obviously not with such a huge amount.
So how did we get to the point that the winner DOESN’T want us to play Bubble Bubble 2 slot?
Botha joked that players maybe shouldn’t play the Realtime Gaming slot for a while as he wants to continue hitting the jackpot on this game.
“I don’t want it paying out to you guys instead of me, ha ha,” he is quoted as saying.Player Also Gives Words of Encouragement
Jokes aside, Adriaan Botha also gave some encouraging words to players who continue to play online slot games but don’t manage to hit the jackpot. He said that if players want to win, they have to keep playing and believing in their favorite and lucky games.
“I won playing Bubble Bubble 2,” he said. “For me, this game always pays. It’s one of my favorites, alongside Dragon Orb, Asgard, Small Fortune and Lucky 6.”
Now that Botha has won a seven digit sized jackpot, he can start dreaming about he is going to spend his mega-bucks. He is aware that there are so many possibilities now open to him and while he hasn’t yet made a final decision, his heart is set on a new car or a house.
Thunderbolt Casino pointed out that they always want players to feel that they are on the winning side. As such, even if you have made a deposit and don’t win anything, you will always receive a partial refund. In fact, Botha had his fantastic million Rand streak because he was playing with R4,000 that had just been refunded to him.
And how will Thunderbolt Casino reward players in celebration of the lucky player’s win and STILL honor his request for players to avoid Bubble Bubble 2 slot? The site is giving away 25 free spins on any game EXCEPT Bubble Bubble 2. Of course, the coupon code on this special offer is ADRIAAN!
If you haven’t tried out RTG’s Bubble Bubble 2 slot, we sincerely advise you NOT to listen to Adriaan Botha and head to this super game today. The slot was created as a sequel to the software group’s massively successful Halloween-themed Bubble Bubble slot, which adds fun to the spookiest holiday of them all. The game brews up a crazy storm of big wins and highly entertaining features.
You’ll fall in love with the look of the game, featuring lovely lasses dressed up in witchy costumes. While the images of the game are pretty scary, complete with dark forests, rickety old houses and spiders, it has a playful feel to it and is a fun choice.
You can play this five reel, 50 pay line game for as little as a penny, although it also boasts some serious highroller settings for those who want to take some risks in their trick-n-treating.
Bonus features in Bubble Bubble 2 slot include:
- Winni and Wanda wild witches who can appear on reels 1 and 5 as expanding symbols. Landing two of them can boost your winnings to 9 x.
- Land three or more Magic Wand scatters to choose one of three free spin specials, each one awarding its own number of free spins and other prizes.
