Gerbil triggers online casino jackpot

- Friday, May 14 2010

He must've sensed it, says owner

The top prize in an online slots game was picked up in the most unlikely of circumstances last week. An online casino player was enjoying a session of slots when his pet gerbil suddenly decided to jump onto his keyboard. This then triggered a bonus round and a top prize for both man and beast!

The player scooped a top prize of close to £13,000 thanks to the little critter, who was minding his own businesses before intervening during proceedings and activating the bonus. The player said:

"Timmy loves to sit on my shoulder and watch me play, but he's never jumped onto the keyboard before. He must've sensed something big was going to happen."

Animal madness

Kerching players with a love for the animal kingdom should find plenty to keep them occupied at our online casino. One such game is Super Hoot Loot, an online slots title in which woodland creatures come to the fore.

This 40-payline title has proved very popular with online casino members who like their games adorned with friendly animals like foxes, hedgehogs and bears. However, the creatures are not simply there to provide decoration, as they also give helpful hints and hold the key to some fantastic cash prizes.

One player who enjoyed their trip to the woods is kellie001, who managed to scoop a prize of £1,400.60. Whether or not a gerbil was involved remains undisclosed...
