88-cent bet turns into jackpot prize for Massachusetts casino player
It started with an 88-cent bet. Moments later, drums began banging and jackpot alarms rang out — one lucky casino-goer was walking away with thousands.
The jackpot was for $11,712.08 and was won off of the game Dancing Drums at MGM Springfield, said a spokesperson for the Western Massachusetts casino.
Earlier this month a Connecticut man bet $3.52 on the same slots game at MGM Springfield. He walked away with a jackpot prize worth $10,862.41.
There are over 1,500 slot machines at MGM Springfield. In February, MGM Springfield paid out over $9,900,000 in jackpot prizes, the casino's website states. And in March, MGM Springfield paid out over $13,500,000 in jackpots.
Players must be 21 years or older.
There were more than 55 jackpot prizes won in March. The largest slots prize won in March was worth $110,918.46. It was won on March 10 playing the game Lightning Link.
