A guest from Indiana recently won $1,376,465 on the Blackjack Triple Diamond Progressive atr FireKeepers Casino Hotel.
The lucky player, identified as Anthony W. from Indiana, placed a $5 Bonus Spin Xtreme progressive side bet during a standard game of blackjack when the mystery “must-hit” progressive was randomly triggered, turning an ordinary hand into a history-making payout. In the thrill of the moment, Anthony’s very first call was to his mom to share the exciting news.
Bonus Spin Xtreme, developed by AGS, is an optional progressive side bet available on select table games at FireKeepers Casino, including blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, and baccarat. The wager uses three virtual wheels— the community prize wheel, hot-spot wheel, and hot-spot prize wheel — to determine bonus payouts for participating players. Any qualifying hand could trigger the mystery “must-hit” progressive jackpot, giving players the chance to score a massive prize while playing standard table games.
On blackjack specifically, a “triggering event” occurs when the dealer’s first two cards form a hard 16, activating the mystery progressive for that round.
“This jackpot is a perfect example of the excitement and big moments our progressive table games can deliver,” said Steve Senk, Vice President of Gaming Operations at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “Moments like this are why we design our tables and experiences to keep the energy high and the possibilities endless for every guest.”
