Being stranded at the airport was not all bad for one passenger trying to make his way home recently. Michel V was stuck at Amsterdam Airport when he won a massive £54,022 playing online at casino.com.

Michel, a 28-year-old Dutch student with heavy student loans, was on holiday with four friends when the volcano erupted in Iceland, making it impossible for him to return to London. While waiting for news, he and his friends were set up in one of the many terminals that were transformed into massive dormitories. With free internet as compensation for the stranded passengers, Michel went straight online and played slots to pass the time. Little did he know, he’d soon be winning very, very big!

Michel decided to use his huge winnings to hire a private boat out of Amsterdam for himself, four friends and three other lucky passengers. When asked about his casino winning, Michel commented, “There wasn’t much to do at the airport except eat or use the internet, so most people were killing time watching movies or going on Facebook. I’m just glad I wasn’t one of those guys!”

It just goes to show you can win a fortune at the casino, wherever you are! Take a look for yourself on our winners page.

We’ve had a number of big winners lately here at Casino.com and we’d like to extend hearty congratulations to two of them from the member community and staff. These people didn’t just win tens or hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but in some cases TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS…just by playing their favorite online slot machine games!

1. fnm02 from NSW, Australia, won almost $20,000 playing Penguin Vacation and Cherry Love, two of his favorite slots. Penguin Vacation, a relatively new online slot game, features the fun animated entertainment of Pa Penguin, Ma Penguin, and Little Penguin who are enjoying their Antarctic vacation. There are fishing symbols, slippery ice slides, and others on this fun, 5-reel slot, plus a fun fishing bonus with an option of wining up to 33 free games! Cherry Love is another crowd pleaser. While it may sound fun and cheery, it’s actually a theme based on fatal attraction and uses daggers, broken hearts, and other steely symbols for its wild and scatter icons. One of the main attractions for the Cherry Love slots is the music—quite a good selection!



2. Also hailing from NSW, Australia, rbreed won a whopping $66,205 playing Happy Bugs. The member spent some of his winnings on a luxury vacation in Sydney with his wife. While bugs is actually a quite popular slot machine theme, the Happy Bugs game at Casino.com does offer some fun and unique features that sets it apart from the crowd. For one, the Happy Bugs casino slot machine game actually offers a bit of humor. As the game starts, you’re invited to join their party—a party that comes complete with snacks and plenty of beer. The caterpillars, ladybugs, and cockroaches are nicely animated and the background music is fun. Plus, as rbreed will tell you, there’s a good chance that you’ll win a ton of money here!

Congratulations to you and to your family—we wish you continued online slots success and more joyous winnings!

“Biggi” from Queensland Australia was just setting up her own restaurant when she suddenly came upon some extra cash. She was playing her favorite online slots machine game at Casino.com, Bonus Bears, when she saw the flashing lights and the amount that she had just won flash up on the screen. In a moment, Biggi’s life changed. The $126,021 that she had just won would make her dream of opening her restaurant a reality.

Bonus Bears is a 25-line video slots game that falls into the category of a “comprehensive” slot, yet isn’t so complicated that you get lost in all the rules and variables. The animation and music is great—very light-hearted and fun—and the reels are speedy. The three main symbols are the Bear (which serves as the wild), the Park Ranger, and the Beehive, which is the scatter symbol. 5 Park Rangers could win up to 5,000 times on your line multiplier!

Obviously if you’re playing a game called Bonus Bears you’re going to expect an awesome bonus round, which is exactly what you’ll get when you play the Honey Feature. You’ll control the Bonus Bear and choose a tree for him to climb—you better hope there’s honey in the tree instead of a beehive, because the more honey pots you find, the more money you’ll earn!

Another fun feature of Bonus Bears is the free spin. If you get the wild icon (the Bear) on reels 2, 3, and 4 (all at the same time), then you’ll get 15 free spins! Earnings during those spins are tripled!

Well, there you have it—a summary of the game that won our friend Biggi from Queensland more than $125,000. Maybe your lucky spin is right around the corner…why not give Bonus Bears your best shot?
