WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – Mohegan Pennsylvania officials confirmed an anonymous guest won a blackjack jackpot worth nearly $650,000. The lucky gambler hit the progressive blackjack jackpot playing the Blazing 7s table game.
In order to win the massive progressive jackpot, the player must place a side bet in addition to his normal wager. Some blackjack side bets pay out for different blackjack combinations, but the Blazing 7s progressive jackpot lives up to the name with an emphasis on the number seven.
The more sevens a player has, the bigger the jackpot reward. In the instance of the lucky anonymous gambler, they hit the “100% Mega” jackpot, which grants 100% of the progressive reward.
How To Win Massive Blackjack Progressive Jackpot
Players at the Blazing 7s progressive jackpot table win if one of their first two cards are a seven. The massive progressive jackpot was paid in full since the player was dealt two diamond sevens, while the dealer also showed a seven of diamonds.
Based on information from the Mohegan Pennsylvania casino website, having sevens of diamonds is the only way to win 100% of the progressive jackpot. Three sevens of any other suit pay 10% of the progressive, which would have been $64,200.
The Pennsylvania blackjack payouts go down from there, as three sevens of the same color pay 500 to 1 and three sevens of any suit pay 200 to 1.
Since the lucky winner took home the $642,000 progressive jackpot, it’s been reset to $160,000. Players can try their luck at the best mobile blackjack sites for a shot at a progressive blackjack jackpot of their own.
