Joyland Casino in Slots Payout Row – 05-15-09

May 15 – It wasn’t too long ago that, amongst great fanfare, a winner was announced for the progressive jackpot on the Beach Life slot machine at Joyland online casino.

At the time, it was stated that Sylvie P. from Canada was now the proud owner of $4,188,919.98, one of the largest online casino payouts made in history.

However, the story didn’t have quite the ending that Sylvie P. had expected. The player was stunned to discover when claiming her prize that specific ‘terms and conditions’ at Joyland casino would limit the payout to only $9,000 a month if she insisted on getting the full amount. Instead, the winner was given the opportunity of forfeiting half the sum and getting it in one lump sum plus $61,000 worth of bonus points at Joyland casino.

“Feeling like there was no way out of this, I decided to go ahead and collect only $2.3 million (half the prize) plus bonus which was $61,000 in VIP points because I was not getting anywhere and the VIP Manager was not honest and he was changing and using words one day and the next day there was always something else,” explained Sylvie P. “So to collect most of my winnings and make sure I was getting it, I did as per their request.”

Sylvie P. claims that after she received half the payout, she was blocked from Joyland online casino and is now unable to access her account and take advantage of the bonus points that were supposedly put at her disposal.

A number of top gambling companies, including Betfred and Bet365 have scrambled to reassure their players that they will, of course, pay out in full and immediately should players be lucky enough to hit any of the progressive jackpots on their sites.

The question now being asked is whether the other $2 million was ever returned to Playtech which had probably transferred the entire amount to Joyland Casino when the jackpot was hit.

We recommend that you play the high-quality Playtech Slots at other casinos and not Joyland or any of the other CPays casinos.
