Mississippi Gulf Coast Man Wins $373,000 Progressive Jackpot
January 23, 2015 — A local Mississippi Gulf Coast man won a $373,272.07 progressive Jackpot, playing a WMS $1 Luxury Diamonds Monopoly slot machine at Palace Casino Resort on Friday, January 23.
The Palace Casino Resort player stated he had inserted a $150 slot ticket in the Luxury Diamonds Monopoly machine and had only played five maximum coin bets of $5 when the three Triple Monopoly Wild symbols lined up on the pay line.
He immediately phoned his wife, who was playing in another area of the casino and told her to “drop everything and come over to the machine where I’m playing!” Upon her arrival, he told her he had won the progressive jackpot. The winner remarked that he and his wife had recently began playing at the Palace Casino Resort after receiving an invitation to an event.
After visiting the resort, they found it very refreshing to play in a smoke free environment. He further complimented the casino’s “good mix of slots, that obviously pay off,” he said. When asked what he plans to do with his winnings, the player said he will donate 10% and most would be given to his three grandchildren for their college education.
