LONDON, ENGLAND, April 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Just a month after a $145K jackpot win, the Slotland.com progressive jackpot has already been hit again. Marianne M., a toy company project manager known as WYNDSTAR on the site, won $83,979 playing the Striking 7s video poker game last Friday.
"Of course the jackpot can be won anytime but we usually go six to eight weeks between wins," said Slotland Manager Michael Hilary. "It didn't have time to get up to $100K or $150K this time, like it usually does, but I'm sure the winner is happy just the same!"
Marianne M. has been playing at Slotland since March 2009. She said she keeps coming back to Slotland because she enjoys its one-of-a-kind games and finds that the wagering requirements on promotional bonuses are fair.
"That night, I actually logged on to Slotland to try the new game, Jewels of the Ancients. I'd just read in my Slotland newsletter that there was a promotion running with free bonus money available. I do like the new game, but after awhile I felt like playing cards instead of slots so I switched to my favourite video poker game, Striking 7s. I like its Double feature where I can take a chance at multiplying my win."
She said she plans to save most of her win. She'll invest part of it but also plans to take her boyfriend on a vacation to South America.
This is Slotland's third big jackpot win this year. In January a new player won $104K playing the Booster slot machine followed by the $145K win on Lucky Ducts at the end of February. Last year there were six major jackpot wins ranging from $78K to $165K.
Striking 7s is a video poker game where 7s are Wild and a special bonus round can multiply winnings. Players receive five cards and can hold all five or receive up to five new cards to create the best poker hand possible. After every winning hand, players can take their winnings or take a chance at doubling them by drawing a card of higher value than the first card drawn. All slots games at Slotland.com are tied to one big progressive jackpot. In Striking 7s, it takes a Natural Royal Flush with a $10 bet to win the jackpot.
Launched just last month, the new Jewels of the Ancients slot machine is the twentieth unique game at Slotland which has been offering one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years.
The progressive jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. Meanwhile at Slotland's sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot was also won just recently and but is back up to over $75,000.

2011-04-08
Chevy Chase, MD—Today, The Endocrine Society released a new Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for the evaluation and treatment of pituitary incidentalomas. The CPG is published in the April 2011 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), a publication of The Endocrine Society.

Editing-molecule mutation causes fatal primordial dwarfism
2011-04-08
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Fetuses with defects in a molecular machine that edits information cells use to make proteins can develop a rare form of dwarfism, according to a new study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G.

Is beauty found in the whites of the eyes? 'Red eyes' associated with the sad and unattractive
2011-04-08
Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, but a new study reveals that the reverse is also true; unattractiveness is in the eye of the beheld. Research published in Ethology finds that people with bloodshot eyes are considered sadder, unhealthier and less attractive than people whose eye whites are untinted, a cue which is uniquely human.
"Red, 'bloodshot' eyes are prominent in medical diagnoses and in folk culture", said lead author Dr. Robert R. Provine from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. "We wanted to know if they influence the everyday behaviour ...

More smoke water pipes -- family habits significant
2011-04-08
The number of people smoking water pipes is rising dramatically throughout the world. A large proportion of new users are young, and many believe – contrary to facts – that water pipe smoking is less dangerous than cigarettes. Research into why people start smoking water pipes is under way at Uppsala University.
Use of water pipes (also called "hookah" and "narghile") is on the rise, according to a number of studies conducted in Europe and North America. Anti-smoking campaigns typically focus on cigarettes and even, to some extent, snuff but rarely provide information ...

Increased mortality rates seen in chronic hepatitis C patients with pre-cirrhotic advanced fibrosis
2011-04-08
A three-year follow-up study of patients in the Hepatitis C Antiviral Long-term Treatment against Cirrhosis (HALT-C) trial revealed that increased mortality among patients with advanced chronic hepatitis C who received long-term peginterferon therapy was attributed to non-liver related causes and occurred primarily in patients with bridging fibrosis. No pattern to this excess mortality was evident to researchers, but deaths were unrelated to the peginterferon treatment. Full findings are published in the April issue of Hepatology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American ...

Male victims of 'intimate terrorism' can experience damaging psychological effects
2011-04-08
WASHINGTON – Men who are abused by their female partners can suffer significant psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicidal thoughts, according to two new papers published by the American Psychological Association.
