Player Flips $40 into $552K Payout at Sky River Casino

The Sky River Casino has only recently become the site of a major jackpot win, after a player from Modesto won $552,460 on January 17. 

The player, hailing from Modesto, managed to flip his $40 bet on the Dollar Storm Mega Grand Link slot machine, a pirate-themed gaming experience. 

Commenting on the great start of the year, Sky River Casino president Michael J. Facenda congratulated the anonymous winner on their incredible fortune and confirmed that the casino was equally excited to have played host to the event.

“Pirate’s luck was with a fortunate guest this past weekend, and the excitement rippled through the casino when it hit. Massive jackpots like this have the power to change lives, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this latest big win,” Facenda added.

The Sky River Casino is not intending to scale down operations, either, as the slot parlor will soon be getting a new expansion with 312 slot machines. This is not the first time the Sky River Casino has played host to large jackpots being won.

Last year, a player from Sacramento was visiting and fetched another huge payout – $424,365 in September. He was playing the Huff N’ Even More Puff slot machine, enjoying the excitement of scoring a six-figure win.

That same month, the casino also saw two players win more than $100,000 each on the property’s Pai Gow poker tables, and yet another player fetched the Triple Diamond Progressive payout on the Double Up Blackjack, for a total of $192,000.
