ended up topping the leaderboard and taking home the ultimate prize this week -
a staggering €1 million!
"I'm ecstatic to have won and can't quite believe it yet," said Stefan about
his windfall. "I'm absolutely stunned! What will I do with the money? Who knows!
We'll have to wait and see! I'm not thinking about leaving work at all, I
absolutely love what I do and want to continue it for as long as I can!"
The Grand Slam of Slots had 482 players from a number of Microgaming powered
online casinos enjoy payouts after battling it out on the popular Lara Croft:
Tomb Raider slot game.
Two other Ladbrokes players, going under the handles Embalu and Gundam00 also
won €5K each.
"This tournament was always going to be exciting with one million Euros up
for grabs and it is a great honor to be involved in creating the first online
slot tournament millionaire," said the Head of Marketing for Ladbrokes Casino,
