In 2024, the Encore Boston briefly became the place where a player and dealer had colluded to cheat the casino out of thousands of dollars. Yet, this did nothing to lessen the property’s appetite for high payouts to its patrons.
This is precisely what happened in the case of an anonymous Quincy man who was playing at the property on New Year’s Day and managed to secure the eye-watering $1,620,335 prize money off a single bet at the Royal 9 Baccarat progressive jackpot.
This is a record number won from the game, and it has been praised by the property, which congratulated the winner who preferred to keep their name off the radar.
The casino added that this is the largest single amount won in the property’s history, and possibly in the state of Massachusetts as a whole.
Another big casino jackpot dropped in mid-December, when a player at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Florida ended up winning $1.3 million from the Dragon Link slot machine, playing off a $25 bet.
