Gambler playing card game wins one of the biggest jackpots at Connecticut casino
A lucky gambler playing a card game won one of the biggest jackpots at a Connecticut casino.
Now the player is a millionaire.
The guest sat at a Spanish 21 table July 9 at Mohegan Sun's Casino of the Earth, the casino said in news release.
Spanish 21 is a variation of blackjack where a player has to get a hand that adds up to 21. But unlike blackjack, all 10s have been removed from the deck.
'The guest was playing the optional $5 Bonus Spin Xtreme side bet and spun Triple Diamonds which landed them a whopping $2,018,742.30!' the casino said.
The casino said it's the largest win this year, and the fifth-largest 'table game payouts ever at Mohegan Sun.'
Other players also won big prizes at the casino recently.
One lucky gambler bet $25 on a Dollar Storm slot machine July 6 and won $211,079.52, McClatchy News reported.
Another guest hit the $115,266.58 jackpot July 7 playing the Railroad Riches slot machine.
Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, which is about a 45-mile drive southeast from Hartford.
