Chicago Man Hits Massive Jackpot Playing Slot Machine At Indiana Casino
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Slot machines made a Chicago man nearly $300,000 richer.
The man declined to be publicly identified, according to local news outlets. Still, the Chicago man confirmed that he played $2.50 in a progressive penny slot — and he turned it into nearly $300,000 (he won $293,791.80, to be exact). It happened at the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in Gary, Indiana, on Sunday (September 12). The massive win marks the biggest slot jackpot at the casino since its opening in May, the Northwest Indiana Times reported on Tuesday (September 14).
"Since our grand opening, we continue to hear positive feedback from our guests regarding the large amount of new and popular slot machines that we have on our floor," president of the casino Matt Schuffert told the publication. "We are always extremely pleased when a guest to our casino experiences a big win on either our new slots or on our table games."
The Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is located at 5400 West 29th Avenue, near the South Shore of Lake Michigan. The casino implemented a “Safe and Sound” program to ensure health and safety of guests and staff. That includes optional face masks, hand sanitizing stations throughout the casino, deep cleaning and enhanced protocols. Find more info about the casino here.
