Despite being closed to the U.S. online gamblers, Playtech Software has managed to do well for itself throughout Europe and a recent expansion into Asia. Online gambling veterans should be familiar with Playtech, as they were one of the first software companies to boom in the nineties, making up the triumvirate of online casino software pioneers - Microgaming, Cryptologic and Playtech.

There's no doubt Playtech is still making news headlines, whether it be recent big money wins, new casino licensees or partnership deals. Most recently, Playtech's popular online video slots, Ultimate Fighters and Millionaire's Lane, made some headlines after dishing out three gigantic jackpots - two of which were won by one player in a single day.

The double header jackpots were hit by a player from Norway (Tom O.), who first nabbed $75,000 on Ultimate Fighters, followed by a massive $101,000 jackpot on Millionaire's Lane. No doubt Tom O. was playing some large bets covering all the pay lines, which goes to show that if you want to win big on slots, you're going to have to take some risk. Even larger than Tom O's single-day jackpot tally was the Italian, Felipo P's €200,240 win, which was hit on, once again, Millionaire's Lane.

Some people might say Millionaire's Lane had a "loose" run, but if you ask me, I think it was the no-fear approach these players were taking to the reels. One good reason why this might be the case is because both players were gambling with large amounts of free online casino bonus money.

This is one of the perks of welcome bonuses. Although you are required to play through the money x-number of times, if you are making large enough bets and have enough padding to get you through the high's and low's, in essence, you are holding out longer for that big jackpot to hit. Of course, luck is always a factor, so don't expect to win every time. Especially when playing online video slots, patience, moderation and having a good time are the keys to responsible gambling.
