Wild cards and free spin multiplier turn $50K win into $200K jackpot
Tuesday 24th June 2008
It was a day like any other in the Bodog Casino for 55-year-old Howard G. of Houston, Texas, playing 'Victory' slots like he'd done many times before, but that all changed when the reels spun and revealed four 'captains' and a 'ship'. Acting as a wildcard, the 'ship' gave Howard the equivalent of five 'captains', which paid out 10,000 credits and, at $5 a line, earned Howard an impressive $50,000. Not a bad win, but lady luck must have really been smiling on Howard, as he happened to make his big score on a free spin which turns any 'ship' into a four times multiplier, turning his impressive $50,000 win into an incredible $200,000 jackpot!
The winner recounted his moment of victory, saying, 'It just happened pretty fast. I barely reacted. I just saw all those dollars start to pile up there really fast.' When asked about the entire experience, Howard said, 'It was pretty amazing,' adding, 'It kind of got my blood pressure to rise a little bit. I'm 55-years-old so I can't get too excited. (laughs)'
Howard isn't the only lucky Bodog Casino player to strike it big in recent months. In May, Joseph V. of Florida hit the 'Let 'Em Ride' monster hand, a royal flush, cashing in on the progressive jackpot worth an amazing $196,468. In April, Rosemary D. of New York nailed the 'Pinatas' slots progressive jackpot, which paid out $133,112. In March, Richard M. of South Carolina took down two huge wins, including $115,219 in Caribbean Stud Poker and $17,438 in Tri-Card Poker, earning him a total payday worth $132,657. Bodog's biggest Casino jackpot winner of 2008, Thomas R. of California, hit the mother load in February, cashing in on the progressive jackpot for the 'Food Fight' slots, earning Thomas a staggering $473,595!
