Sky River Casino Hails Success of Jackpot Winners 

The win took place after the person placed a $4.50 bet, leading to the six-figure payout. Another player – only two days later at that – managed to secure the $216,895.80 payout from Midi Baccarat, a table game, on March 31. 

The player had spent 15 minutes on the game when the jackpot dropped. Both wins have been welcomed by the venue and the provider of the tech that powers the games. 

In a statement, AGS SVP and general manager of tables, John Hembergeer, welcomed the opportunity to see such big jackpots drop. He said that wins of such magnitude demonstrated the strong game designs utilized by the company, and pointed out that AGS was capable of showcasing these designs through six-figure jackpots. 

As to Sky River Casino? The property was similarly elated by the fact that its games have produced a big win. Sky River Casino president and general manager Michael J. Facenda said that such instances of big winners were a reminder of why people love coming back to the casino to play.

Sky River Casino is uniquely equipped to appeal to all tastes, with the gaming floor featuring 2,500 slot machines alone. This is not the only time the Sky River Casino has played host to some serious payouts.

In fact, in January, a player who had wagered $40 on the Dollar Storm Mega Grand Link slot machine secured the eye-watering $552,460. The happy event took place on January 17, as confirmed by the venue, and was a great way to kick off the new year.
