32Red Online Casino Launches Hellboy Slot Machine in January

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 07:02:00 +0000

The award-winning 32Red Online Casino launches Hellboy – an online slot based on the acclaimed comic and films of the same name.

32Red Online Casino is poised to launch a slot that has been dubbed as groundbreaking this January, in an announcement made by the Gibraltar-based online gaming operator today.

The Hellboy slot is based on the hit comic book of the same name, with the graphical styling from the immensely popular book added to the game. The plot is high-octane stuff too, matching the adrenaline rush the two blockbuster movies induced for millions of moviegoers in 2004 and 2008.

Mark Quayle, Head of Marketing for 32Red, believes the Hellboy slot is set to become one of 32Red’s most popular slot machines:

"The addition of Hellboy to our casino means we’re able to offer players a number of themed slots with real star appeal, but none match Hellboy’s stylised graphics, stereo sounds and potent slot engine. From spinning the reels to entering the Underworld bonus, Hellboy offers players something special and, of course, a shot at the game’s "92,000 jackpot. It all makes Hellboy arguably one of the best slots in our online casino (32Red Casino) and the perfect way to start the New Year."

Hellboy is the creation of the talented Mike Mignola and Dark Horse Comics. A demon summoned by evil Nazi occultist during the Second World War, Hellboy ended up in Allied hands where he was raised as a "normal boy", despite being bright red and having to regularly file down his horns. He now fights for mankind against dark forces as part of the BPRD – Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense – where Hellboy forms the backbone and strength behind the team’s ongoing battle against evil. The 5 reel and 20 payline slot allows players to guide Hellboy through the darker reaches of the Underworld to free missing members of the BPRD and to the Relic of Power, with players winning cash throughout the journey.

Fans of Hellboy slot machine will no doubt relish the chance to guide their hero around the reels and through the bonus games, but Quayle insists the game’s graphics and performance will draw all casino game players to its reels as "Hellboy has all the gaming entertainment a player will ever need; an instantly recognisable theme, slick graphics, an immersive plot and the chance to win nearly £100,000".

Hellboy is due for release at 32Red on January 14th 2009 and is joined by two other new games in a casino that already boasts over 350 unique casino games.

Brett Hill wins £25,000 from a free bet at 32Red Casino

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:36:47 +0000

32Red Casino, the award-winning Gibraltar based online casino, today revealed details on how a lucky player won over GBP25,000 from a free bet on a slot machine shortly after joining.

The player, Brett Hill, was playing the Major Millions slot machine at 32Red when he hit the three jackpot symbols, triggering the GBP25,000 payout and changing Brett’s Christmas instantly. Brett commented, "We have given our children a bit of cash for Christmas and I have just returned from picking up my wife’s brand new car as a result of the win! I’m saving the rest for a holiday or just a rainy day, as well as having a GBP1000 each for Christmas."

Pat Harrison, Operations Director at 32Red, said, "Brett’s win is amazing; he turned the GBP32 free from 32Red for signing up into GBP25,000, and in his own words changed his Christmas and 2010! 32Red would like to congratulate Brett again and wish him all the best for the New Year."

Brett was naturally delighted, with him "dancing around the room like a lunatic". He couldn’t believe the win and asked his wife to double check before he got too carried away. When it was confirmed by his wife and 32Red Brett was equally delighted by his entire 32Red experience, adding "I sent the payments team my account details at 10.30am and noticed my account was in credit GBP25,000 just after dinner time – so quick! The aftercare I was given was second to none – the best of any online casino – most others make you wait a week before getting winnings!"

Major Millions is renowned for producing big winners at 32Red, with Anne C winning over GBP1 million in 2008 through the game’s bonus jackpot. Brett’s win was outside of that jackpot and was produced through the game’s regular pay table. That lead Harrison to add "Brett’s win demonstrates the strength of Major Millions and of our online slots in general, proving that the big wins are out there to be had".

Brett continues to play at 32Red and is particularly fond of Mega Moolah – the online industry’s most generous slot having paid out over GBP6 million earlier this year. Major Millions will no doubt remain his favourite, but with over 250 individual slot games available at 32Red, his options are very much open.

This big win follows another recent win from 32Red’s mobile casino, with a GBP20,000 payout the result of a Royal Flush from a GBP25 bet on video poker. Stephen McDonald, 32Red Mobile manager, said, "J.P from London enjoyed classic video poker and a spectacular win on the go using his phone and 32Red Mobile."

32Red Player Continues Lucky Streak With Fifth Online Casino Jackpot

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:13:36 +0000

A lucky 32Red online casino player has succeeded in racking up five progressive jackpot wins in just one year after another Cash Splash slot machine win in September 2009

32Red, the award-winning online casino operator, has announced another big jackpot winner and confirmed what must stand as one of the longest lucky streaks of all time, as one player hits the same jackpot five times in under one year.

The 32Red player’s fifth five figure jackpot win has already hit his bank account – something the player must be getting used to – with 32Red having paid-out over £100,000 to the lucky player since October 2008 when the streak began. Before the end of 2008 the player had already made it four wins from the Cash Splash progressive slot machine and now, with the jackpot win on the 12th September, five have been chalked up and with some time still to spare to make it six.

Pat Harrison, Operations Director for 32Red Online Casino, commented, "We’re amazed and thrilled for our player. We regularly have large jackpot winners at 32Red, but it’s unusual for one player to have five big wins within a year at the same online casino. It’s truly extraordinary. All of us at 32Red are keeping our fingers crossed that the player will go on and make it six and smash his own record for jackpot wins."

Cash Splash is just one of 16 progressive casino games at 32Red Online Casino and comes in the classic 3 reel and the more modern 5 reel format. The jackpot builds as the game is played, so it’s growing all the time. Having just been won, the jackpot has been reset to a healthy £15,000, and will be building nicely as 32Red’s lucky player spins the Cash Splash reels for yet another jackpot win.

This win comes as 32Red announce the arrival of a new addition to the popular Mega Moolah range of slots: Mega Moolah Isis. This game, like all Mega Moolah games, includes the world’s biggest progressive online jackpot – a guaranteed £1,000,000. However, in the past it has grown to as much as £6,200,000 before being won..

32Red Online Casino launches 1.3 million Grand Slam of Slots Tournament

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:25:49 +0000

32Red Online Casino is offering its biggest ever slots tournament worth €1.3 million in the Grand Slam of Slots

32Red, the award-winning online casino, has announced that it will be running its biggest ever online slots tournament this summer. The Grand Slam of Slots boasts a total prize pool of €1.3 million and a top prize of €1,000,000.

Slot tournaments first came to online casinos in 2008 as an entirely new way of playing online slots and have been popular ever since. Players join a tournament based on one of three online slot games which are available and play the slots as normal. However, instead of cash being awarded from certain combinations on the reels, players receive the equivalent payouts in points instead. The sum of these points establishes their position on a leader board which, when the slot tournament is finished, determines the amount of the prizepool the player receives. The higher up the leaderboard players finish the greater the prize. In this case, players in the Grand Slam of Slots battle for €1.3 million and can win €1 million for finishing in the top position.

Head of Marketing for 32Red, Mark Quayle, said, “The Grand Slam of Slots is one of the biggest gaming events we’ve ever been part of and is a great chance for players to experience these great games, the amazing Tomb Raider* online slot and become the first slot tournament millionaire in the process.”

He added, “There are 481 winning places in addition to the massive €1,000,000 top spot, where players can win runner-up prizes worth up to €50,000. That means a ticket to the Grand Slam of Slots has a 20% chance of being a winner. In true 32Red style we’ve added 32 €1,000 bonus prizes that will keep the tournament exciting and competitive throughout the leaderboard and not just at the top. Players can even pickup a €1,000 prize in 8328th place.”

Tickets to Grand Slam of Slots are not available to buy; instead 32Red Casino will be offering competitions, leaderboards and more to allow players to secure their seat. The final will take place over 9 days between Friday the 23rd October and Monday November 2nd which allows for an unlimited number of rebuys. Quayle pointed out, “Rebuys are going to be pivotal to anyone serious about hitting one of the bigger prizes. The opportunity for more credit and time will boost leaderboard scores and could be the difference between finishing below the payment threshold or in the money. For those wanting to practice their slot tournament skills, 32Red runs daily tournaments and even free slot tournaments from inside their online casino.”
