MANCHESTER, England, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Betfred.com are celebrating the news that one of their Casino players has just landed a £295,000 jackpot.

The mystery punter secured the huge win with just a £1 spin on the Chests of Plenty slot game.

Chests of Plenty is a pirate-themed game with 20 paylines, a top win of £50,000 and an additional mystery jackpot in the 9-Diamond Progressive. Players hunt for free spins, multipliers, wild and scatter symbols, with further chances to win in two treasure-based bonus rounds. In the Chest Bonus, chests are selected and prizes awarded for uncovering matching gems, whilst the Treasure Map Bonus features several increasingly rewarding levels which are unlocked by finding map symbols.

Managing Director of Betfred.com Chris Sheffield commented: "It's great to see success stories like this from our rapidly-growing games products. We are releasing new Betfred Games titles on a regular basis and they contribute largely to us becoming a major player in the e-gaming domain. It was one year ago when one of our Casino players famously scooped £5.1m on our Beach Life slot, so we look forward to seeing who our next big winner will be."
