Some lucky person having a bit of entertainment hit a big turn in his life when the video poker machine he was playing said he had won a life changing amount of cash. The instant play online casino paid a progressive jackpot of over $200,000 in cash to a film student.
He was playing the popular Jack’s Show video poker game which features animated jesters bouncing across the screen and dealing cards while performing special tricks for winning hands. The object of the game is to get the best poker hand possible with competitors able to wager on each hand.
The player took home $200,859, "I was just killing time and taking my mind off my studies for a bit when suddenly out of the blue I hit the big one," said ‘LuckyTom’.
"I’ll probably blow some of this win on some party celebrations but I’m going to invest most of it in a film project I’ve wanted to do for a long time."
This is the second highest pay out at WinADay.com after the $223,420 it paid to a retired widower in March via its Reel De Luxe slot. WinADay.com said that its progressive jackpot has usually been won every six weeks for $100,000 to $150,000 so the last two big wins are significant.
Casino Manager for WinADay.com., Michael Hilary, says, "We’ve added several new games recently so the casino has been even busier than usual," adding, “Many of our regular players knew we were a bit overdue for a big win so more of them have been placing maximum bets and going for the jackpot. Every time they do, part of their wager goes into the jackpot pool so it had been accumulating even faster than usual." Hilary explained, "We have our own team of game developers that create all of our games only for us."
