Manchester Players Win Big at Jackpot City’s Weekend Tournament

MANCHESTER, UK – March 18, 2025 – The digital streets of Manchester were abuzz with excitement this past weekend as local gaming enthusiasts gathered virtually for Jackpot City’s largest UK tournament of the year. The three-day event saw unprecedented participation from Manchester residents, with several locals walking away with substantial prizes.

The tournament, which featured popular slots and table games, attracted over 5,000 participants from the Greater Manchester area alone. Local player James Hargreaves made headlines by securing the top prize of £25,000 after an impressive streak on Jackpot City’s newest progressive slot game, “British Treasures.”

“I still can’t believe it,” said Hargreaves, a 34-year-old electrician from Salford. “I’ve been playing with Jackpot City for about three years now, but I never expected to win something this significant. The competition was fierce, especially from other Manchester players who really know their games.”

The tournament coincided with Jackpot City’s fifth anniversary of operations in the UK market, where the brand has built a loyal following, particularly in northern urban centers like Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds.

Sarah Thompson, Jackpot City’s Regional Director for Northern England, noted the significance of the Manchester gaming community to their brand: “Manchester players have always shown exceptional enthusiasm and skill. The city’s competitive spirit really shines through in these tournaments, which is why we decided to create special Manchester-exclusive bonus rounds for this event.”

The tournament also featured a charity component, with Jackpot City donating £1 for every participant to Manchester’s local homeless support network, generating over £5,000 for community initiatives.

Local gaming analysts attribute the strong Manchester showing to the city’s growing reputation as a digital entertainment hub. With several eSports teams and gaming development studios making their home in Manchester, the city has cultivated a tech-savvy population with a keen interest in digital gaming experiences.

Jackpot City has announced plans to make the Manchester tournament a quarterly event, with the next competition scheduled for June 2025, featuring even larger prize pools and Manchester-themed exclusive games.
