MONTREAL, CANADA – Once
again an off chance visit to the casino has permanently changed the
life of a slot machine player. This time it was a resident of Laval
and his casino of choice was Casino de Montréal.
The player only visits the
casino on occasion, but Lady Luck is not picky. While playing the
Grand Prix slot machine, he struck an enormous $1,282,629.10
jackpot. This slot machine only pays out its progressive jackpot
when a player wagers two $5 tokens and fills the payline with three
Grand Prix symbols.
The hero of our tale is a
Laval businessman in his sixties and he did not have to spend a
fortune to win his fortune. He had only been on the slot machine
for moments before luck shined on him. His ‘magic moment’ occurred
at approximately 12:45 P.M. on Saturday. Still reeling from the
excitement he recalls, “It took me a few moments to actually realize
what had happened. Everyone around me began shrieking, singing and
congratulating me, while Casino employees ran off to look for my
wife who was playing somewhere else.”
Casino de Montréal paid out
$3,144,283 for its largest jackpot. It was shared between to casino
patrons back in September of 2003. This $1,282,629.10 slot machine
win stands second in the casino’s history of largest jackpots. The
winner will enjoy his jackpot all to himself and with any family
members that are in his good graces.
As for the Grand Prix slot
machine, its jackpot has dropped back to $500,000, its minimum
level. Until another lucky slot machine player wins it again, the
jackpot will continue to grow daily.
