A long-time player of online bingo site Bingonanza.co.uk is in hog heaven after winning more than £11,000 playing the Bring Home the Bacon virtual slot machine. David Whatman (aka dopey) won £11,187.67 on April 3, 2009 playing the pig-themed slots.

"Just when I was thinking I have no good luck lately, then BAM, I win a huge jackpot," said Whatman. "I just want to say a very big thank you to everyone at Bingonanza and the chat leaders who make everyone so welcome."

Loyalty seems to have paid off for Whatman, who joined Bingonanza.co.uk in December 2005 during the site's first months of operation. His longevity and popularity on the site is evidenced by the number of congratulatory posts he has received in the site's discussion forum.

Whatman made sure to pay it forward after his big win. He was quick to share his good fortune by using Bingonanza's new e-gift feature to send virtual lucky charms to a few of his chat room friends.

Bingonanza's CH Blanche is happy to see the long-time player win big. "He is one of our most loyal, long-standing roomies, and I am genuinely thrilled to see him finally get lucky. He's been a faithful roomie for many years and has contributed greatly to our wonderful sense of community."

The big jackpot win is the second in a month for The Gaming Network (TGN), the online gaming services company that manages Bingonanza. In March, member site Bingo Boogie awarded nearly £10,000 to a player in its Lucky Streak bingo room.
