LabrokesCasino has announced that one of its players won the ultimate recession busting prize of one million Euros earlier this week after emerging triumphant from the finals of the Grand Slam Of Slots.

The leading online casino revealed that over 8,000 participants battled it out live between October 23 and November 2 on the Lara Croft Tomb Raider slot for their share of a prize pool totalling €1.3 million.

However, it was a South London player known as ‘Stefan’ that took the highest honour after qualifying for the tournament on July 18 by placing a small bet of two Euros. To top it off, he posted his top score in the final on his birthday to put himself in pole position for the mega jackpot.

“This tournament was always going to be exciting with one million Euros up for grabs and it is a great honour to be involved in creating the first online slot tournament millionaire,” said Charlie Goodenough, Head Of Marketing for LadbrokesCasino.com.

“The Lara Croft Tomb Raider game is one of our most popular games because it is simple yet fun to play. It is part of a portfolio of over 450 thrilling games including numerous variants of roulette, blackjack and slots.”

The Grand Slam Of Slots tournament saw 482 players walk away in the money while LadbrokesCasino.com managed to rank a further 83 players in these paid places for a total payout reaching €1,039,400. Players at LadbrokesCasino.com using the pseudonyms ‘Embalu’ and ‘Gundam00’ also walked away with sizeable cheques after picking up a healthy €5,000 each.
