REDDING, Calif. – A man received life-changing money after putting just $5 on a progressive side bet. The Wind-River Casino local left Thursday night with a check for $305,822 thanks to a massive blackjack jackpot.
“It's very exciting to see someone win this amount of money," said Brandon Hayward, Table Games Manager to local news. "Watching someone win a possible life-changing amount of money is one of the highlights of my 19-year career! I am beyond happy for Peter!”
Massive Blackjack Jackpot Won Off Progressive Side Bet
Peter won the massive $300,000 jackpot during a blackjack hand where he placed $5 on the Bonus Spin Xtreme progressive blackjack side bet. Neither Peter or any casino officials delivered the details of how he won the progressive jackpot, but the Win-River Casino website states there’s a “unique community-based trigger” that starts the wheel spin.
Every player at the table who makes the optional side bet on the Bonus Spin Xtreme progressive all participate in the bonus round once the wheel spins. The progressive is set up so that every table game funnels towards the collective progressive, but the California blackjack worth over $300,000 was the biggest table game progressive ever won by an individual at the Wind-River Casino.
