MAJOR JACKPOT FOR NORWEGIAN ONLINE GAMBLER

Sir Cashalot progressive pays out almost a million

ISLE OF MAN - Norwegian online slots fan KarinK is probably still celebrating following her $946 886.05 win last Thursday on Microgaming's Sir Cashalot progressive slot.

Full details are not yet to hand but it is believed the win took place at the Fortune Lounge group's 7 Sultans online casino on the 21st February 2008.

A spokesman for Fortune Lounge said the big win could soon be eclipsed if a lucky player strikes the jackpot on the Mega Moolah progressive, which is currently worth over $5 million.
