Lucky Gambler Hits $2 Million Slots Jackpot at Borgata Casino in Atlantic City
A resident of Roseland, New Jersey, recently hit an astonishing slots jackpot of over $2 million while playing at a nickel Wheel of Fortune machine at Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, in Atlantic City. The fortunate winner was playing at the slot machine for less than half an hour and had spent only $100. The remarkable jackpot is the third slots payout of over one million dollars since the facility opened in 2003.
The venue has recently launched a new promotion, the PowerPrize Jackpot and Players Card Bonus. Within the less than three months since the promotion's launch, 19 lucky winners have already collected as much as $2.4 million in cash and 9,324 My Borgata cardholders have won up to $366,875 in bonus slot dollars.
Larry Mullin, president and COO of Borgata, was quoted as saying, "Borgata has increasingly become known as the premier place in Atlantic City to stay, play, and win big. [...] It's always exciting when we have big jackpots, and with the recent addition of The PowerPrize Jackpot and Players Card Bonus, everyone with a My Borgata card is a guaranteed winner." Borgata is a joint venture of Boyd Gaming Corporation and MGM Mirage.
