Two fortunate individuals each walked away with substantial amounts of money at California’s Sky River Casino just before Christmas.
During their time at the Elk Grove tribal gaming property, an unnamed resident from Stockton, Calif. hit around $748K on a slot machine. This lucky individual was playing the Monopoly Cash Wheel slot on Monday.
In another lucky occurrence, last Thursday, at the same casino, a resident of Sacramento won $239,818. This guest was engaged in a game of Texas Hold’em and struck gold with a royal flush.
It remains a mystery how both winners plan to enjoy their newfound wealth.
Operated by the Wilton Rancheria tribe, the casino boasts over 2,000 slot machines, 80 table games, and 18 dining venues and bars.
Tachi Palace Casino Guests Both Hit Jackpots
At Tachi Palace Casino Resort in California, two more jackpots were recently won, as announced by the property on December 18.
One lucky winner snagged $498,662, securing a Blackjack Match STAX progressive jackpot. A second unidentified guest won $80,038 on a Bonus Spin Extreme Double Diamond jackpot while enjoying a game of Spanish 21. The bet was a mere $5.
One of the winners expressed their intent to use the jackpot to improve their quality of life.
Visitor Wins at Rio in Vegas
An unnamed player at Las Vegas’ Rio Hotel & Casino struck gold with a $411,589 win on December 16.
The guest was playing Kong: Skull Island, a slot machine recently introduced at the gaming property. The wager was $18.75.
This payout marks the largest jackpot at the casino since 2023, according to the Rio.
$1M in Cash Awarded
On December 16, California’s Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel awarded $1M to a lucky player.
The giveaway was part of the property’s annual “Million Dollar Moment” promotion.
Celebrity and actor Mario Lopez presented the winnings to the unnamed Southern Californian resident.
This year’s theme honored the 85th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz movie.
Teaming up with the Wizard of Oz to guide us towards a million dollars has been an exhilarating experience at both Yaamava’ and the Palms [in Las Vegas],” remarked Kenji Hall, general manager at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel, in a statement.
The winner is a member of the Emerald-level Club Serrano.
MGM Grand Detroit Jackpot for Brian Christopher
Popular casino influencer Brian Christopher shared his record-breaking jackpot win at the MGM Grand Detroit last week.
Christopher was at the Michigan gaming property for a promotion involving his Rudies fan club. He was recording while taking a shot at the slot machines.
He sat down at a Crazy Chickens slot machine, wagered $37, and hit a $79,589 jackpot. His luck continued as he accumulated over $100K in total winnings.
“It was surreal, as I was awaiting my payout, I hit another five or six jackpots on the same game. The streak just didn’t seem to end,” he shared with MLive, a local news site.
Christopher boasts a following of approximately 708,000 subscribers on YouTube and serves as an ambassador for BetMGM.
