Massachusetts Casino Player Turns $20 into $30K Payout
For one player in Massachusetts, a bit of luck was all it took to flip a $20 wager into a five-figure payout
The Encore Boston Harbor was the site of an exciting event with one visitor managing to turn their $20 bet on the Ultimate Fire Link game into the rather respectable $30,670 payout.
The payout may not be the coveted seven-figure jackpot, but it demonstrates the Encore Boston Harbor’s variety of games that are designed to cater to every taste and present players with the opportunity to expeirence their favorite games in different formats.
Yet, the $30,670 jackpot is not the only big win that a player has enjoyed locally, with a Quincy man hitting a $1.6 million payout early in 2026. Another jackpot publicized by the property fell on January 17, when a player won $266,285.08 playing Royal 9 Baccarat – the same game that had produced the previous winner!
Any player who wishes to visit and play the property needs to be of the legal age, which is 21. Overall, there were more than 14,000 table game jackpots won at the property in January alone, with a total of 40,699,671.04 paid.
14,740 out of the 14,895 were won on slot machines, the Encore Boston Harbor shared in a press release.
