My shock £9,192 jackpot win!

I used my amazing £9,192 win to glamp up my camp...

I enjoyed the slot games as there were so many different types

The house was comfortabl­y silent as I sat down on my bed.

‘Peace at last,’ I sighed with a smile.

It was a warm summer evening in August 2018, and I’d spent the day running around town doing errands.

Now, my partner was reading a book next to me and the house was quiet.

Finally having some time to myself, I grabbed my phone and decided to log on to Chat Mag Bingo.

I’d first started in September 2013 with a friend. We’d never really been interested in going to the local bingo hall, but playing online was a good bit of fun. Plus, I could play in the comfort of my home, in my own time. I’d had a few small wins too, which was a nice bonus.

‘You should give the slot games a try,’ one of the girls in the chatroom recommende­d.

Sure enough, I enjoyed the slot games, as there were so many different types to choose from. Some had progressiv­e jackpots, others had fun bonus games. My favourite was Double Bubble.

The Chat Mag Bingo app often promoted new games when I signed in, so I enjoyed giving the more recent ones a spin now and then.

That’s how I came across Genie Jackpots.

This Arabian-themed game, adorned with lamps and even a genie, was great fun to play, and had really exciting bonus features.

It was Genie Jackpots I decided to play that August night.

I was amusing myself with a few spins, and as I clicked a £1 spin on all lines, I started to think about winding down for the night.

But suddenly, a small window came up on my screen. I now had to spin the reels to collect as many crown symbols as possible and pick one of the King’s treasures for a chance to increase my cash prize.

It was then my screen switched to a tombola called Wheel King with three different jackpots on it.

Following the instructio­ns, I spun the wheel and it landed on the Regal Pot.

All of a sudden, my screen was alive with colour.

I’d only gone and won the £9,192 progressiv­e jackpot!

I stared at my phone, trying to take it all in.

When I finally snapped out of it, I nudged my partner.

‘I’ve won!’ I managed to squeak. ‘And guess how much!’ ‘Erm… £100?’ he mused. ‘More than that!’ I replied.

When I finally told him how much, he grinned from ear to ear.

I was on cloud nine. Only 30 minutes later, he said, ‘Did I just dream you saying you’d won nine grand?’ Then

we hugged tightly, celebratin­g the win together.

We were due to go on a camping trip the following week, so we decided to upgrade our tent, and add a little porch area.

I even bought a portable camping toilet.

That way, we wouldn’t have to grapple with the shared ones in the middle of the night!

It was a worthwhile investment as we go camping a lot.

With the win, I bought extra adventures with the children, who were on summer holidays.

We went to theme parks, trampoline halls, and I spoiled them with shopping trips.

Now, I’m still playing, and my favourite is a toss-up between Genie Jackpots and Double Bubble.

Whichever one I choose though, I know it’s going to be fun and entertaini­ng.

And I know that any spin could end in a fantastic surprise win!
