Four slot wins and $67,700 in a weekend at Maple Casino, November 2014
This article was written in 2014 and we keep it as a record of how the online casinos of that time presented their games and promotions. The operators, offers and figures it mentions may no longer exist or may have changed, and nothing on this page is a current offer. 18+.
In November 2014 Maple Casino announced that a player known as S.N. had taken $67,700 from four Microgaming slots in one weekend, four weeks after the $38,982 double win that the page on her October night tells. The house belonged to Vegas Partner Lounge and no longer trades under that name, and the release is kept on this page as testimony, the second of two about the same player.

What the casino announced
Some people, the release opened, "are just born lucky", though "sooner or later everyone gets their share of good fortune", a sentence that every reader of a casino release should weigh, since it promises a share to everyone and the odds of a slot promise nothing of the kind. S.N. had "plenty of reason to celebrate (again)" after a first win of $32,300, and "was only just getting started".
She followed it, the text went on, with $6,000, then $14,900 and then $14,400, on four different games, which made "a weekend she won't soon forget" and "a very tidy sum just ahead of the festive season". The four figures add up to $67,600, a hundred less than the total of $67,700 that the release announced twice. Nobody at the casino checked the sum!

Fish Party, Pure Platinum, Robin Hood and Tiger's Eye, in the release's words
The first win came from Fish Party, a fun-filled video slot with five reels and an aquatic theme, paying by 243 "ways to win" (the Microgaming format without paylines, in which the symbols need only land on consecutive reels). It had already paid her $28,099 in October and now gave her $32,300; the release called the fish "lucky", as if a game remembered its players.
Pure Platinum, glossy and high-tech in the release's words, ran on forty paylines across five reels and paid $6,000. Robin Hood Feathers of Fortune, another 243-ways slot built around "the famous philanthropist thief", paid $14,900 through free spins, multipliers and a bonus where the player picked among options (S.N. "clearly chose wisely", said the text, which is what one says after the fact). Tiger's Eye, a jungle full of golden treasures, closed the streak with $14,400.
What the release did not give is what we would have asked: the stake per spin, the number of spins between the four wins and the balance at the end of the weekend, which is the only figure you should care about. A win is told as a photograph, and a weekend of slots is a film. The casino chose the frame.
Three deposits for $300, or an hour with $3,000
The deposit package came to $300 in three steps: the first deposit was doubled (100 per cent, capped at $100), the second raised by half (50 per cent, with the same cap) and the third matched twice over (200 per cent, again up to $100), which was the step that looked generous. The alternative was the "freeplay", $3,000 of casino credits to spend in sixty minutes before any deposit, keeping "a portion" of what the player won, although the text gave neither the portion nor the "wagering" (the multiple of the credits to bet before cashing out).
To reach the three ceilings a player put in $100 at the first step, $200 at the second (half of it being the $100 cap) and only $50 at the third (where twice $50 is $100), that is $350 deposited against $300 received. The hour of free play was faster arithmetic: a player who spun every three seconds had to bet $2.50 a spin (three thousand divided by twelve hundred) if he wanted to spend the credits before the clock ran out.
Under the figures came the paragraph that the group attached to every release: a catalogue of "more than 650" Microgaming games, "128-bit SSL encryption" that "banks also use", multilingual support at any hour by toll-free number, live chat and e-mail, and the roll-call of the sister houses (Casino-Mate, Golden Riviera and Crazy Vegas, each with a mobile version).
The package was a fraction of the $1,400 that Golden Riviera, a sister house, advertised that November, as the Max Damage release shows, and the hour of free play was the real bait, repeated by every brand with a different sum and the same silence on the share. We never tested Maple Casino, and what is above is the release's word rather than ours.
The weekend, read from 2026
Maple Casino no longer trades under that name, nor does any other house of the group, and we work with none of them: the $300, the hour of credits and the four wins of that weekend are a testimony that nobody can claim today. The four slots went with the rest of Microgaming's catalogue to Games Global in 2021-2022; whether they are still in a lobby we have not checked.
The screenshots link to Platinum Play (an affiliate link, as the disclosure above says), a Microgaming house of those years which we still list; we tried it in demo mode, and the Platinum Play review carries its current terms, which outrank any figure you read here.
For the welcome packages of 2026 the page on welcome bonuses does the sums for you, and the world list collects the offers without deposit. The news archive holds the other releases of that winter, the first Maple Casino win among them, in the tone in which they were written.
