Every week, the Electronic Gaming space is the location of supernatural wealth and Jackpot sightings of all kinds. The following are authentic accounts of some of the events that happened this week: Time Travel with EGDs! Louise Lussier was not only the biggest Jackpot winner of the week, but also a 2-time Jackpot winner in a single Sunday visit!

Louise chose Ten Times Pay, a 3-reel game that presents fruits, bars, and sevens: a true time travel delight. After some spinning, at 4:13PM, a triple bar symbol and 2 Ten Times Pay symbols appeared, a combination worth 10,000 times the bet! With $0.75 on the line, Louise won $9,000: the biggest …Read More

Danny Ibrahim is the Card Player Poker Tour Champion!
It was a grueling day of poker full of action and packed with seasoned poker professionals. We started the day with 64 competitors, with only 40 slated to be paid. As the group made its way towards the final table we lost a lot of big names. That said, once the final table was formed the field was still very strong. After four hours of intense play the final four players decided upon an ICM chop. That helped speed the tournament along, but it still took another 90 minutes to crown our champion. And that champion is Danny Ibrahim! Although …Read More
Event #25 Champion: Yannick Labattaglia
Event #25 of the World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 8-Max Re-entry, drew a large afternoon turnout of 118 entries including 23 re-entries, enough to more than double the prize pool guarantee. The players in this event made two deals to re-distribute the prize pool; the first was made to provide the player on the money bubble a small cash of $150, and the second was an ICM chop of the remaining prize pool when three players, Chris Arvanitis, Yannick Labattaglia and Eric Guindon, remained. According to the terms of the ICM chop, each of the three finalists locked …Read More
