Woman Gambler Takes Home Staggering $2 Million Slots Jackpot
A woman gambler recently hit a staggering jackpot of over $2 million playing at a Megabucks slot machine at Casino Windsor, a Canadian gaming facility. The fortunate player, a resident of Roseville, Michigan, apparently requested that her name not be disclosed, and no future plans regarding the slots win have been discussed with the media.
The CAD$1 Megabucks slot machine links 12 commercial and charity gaming facilities across the province of Ontario to a single progressive jackpot. Thus far, the biggest jackpot ever hit on a Megabucks slot machine was taken home by a male resident of Toronto, who won over CAD$5.7 million at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort in 2004.
Casino Windsor is operated by Windsor Casino Limited (WCL), a consortium established in 1993. Prior to opening the permanent Casino Windsor in 1998, WCL operated two interim casinos. WCL operates the casino on behalf of the government of Ontario. The profits from the casino are allocated to the province of Ontario to support social programs such as health care and education.
