The fortunate gambler says he had only been a member of Casino Europa for a few months. He logged in and make the fortuitous choice to spend his time that day playing the Beach Life slots machine.

Hitting the grand prize, which had accumulated to almost $2.4 million, put Alain into shock.

"I'm too numb, it really hasn't hit home yet, " he said when asked of his plans.

Beach Life is one of the slots supported by Playtech, Casino Europa's software supplier. It is one of the games generating some of the Internet's largest jackpots. Only eight months ago, the same game was hit for over $4 million.

The game is a five-reel, twenty-line slot machine. It was released by Playtech a little over two years ago, and quickly established itself as a monster jackpot provider.

A day at the beach is the theme, complete with symbols including the sun, ice cream cones, cocktails, and bikini girls.

US players eagerly await the repeal of the UIGEA, so they might enjoy Playtech slots at such fine casinos as Casino Europa.
