players had the chance of registering at Jackpot City Casino and getting their seat in the final. A few weeks ago we showed you a quick chat that we had with Simonetta L.
an Italian player who goes by the screen name lady003. She secured her ticked to the final tournament and now we happy to announce the final 3 winners of this Golden Ticket Promo. The final 3 players who will be joining Simonetta are Marcel A from Germany (tourney name “agonoize666″)
Jonas L. from Sweden (“Noaces”) and Heinz-Dieter H from Germany (“LiqJay999″). Keeping Our Fingers CrossedWe’d like to congratulate all of the Golden Ticket winners and also thank everyone who participated in this great promo. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for “our players” and hopefully one of them will take down that astronomic first place prize.
