ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., May 9, 2008 — One lucky Slingo winner from New Jersey broke the Slingo bonus reel slot machine progressive bank and walked away with the winning jackpot of over $697,000 at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, recently.
The lucky winner and her family were invited back to Harrah's Resort to show them where she hit the big jackpot. Harrah's also treated them to dinner at the Pollistina's Italian Ristorante for her and nine other guests, along with three hotel suites.
The jackpot of $697,450.35 was won on a twenty-five cent Slingo bonus mechanical three-reel slot machine featuring the popular online Slingo game, played on a video screen in the top of the machine as a bonus game. To play the bonus, a player lines up the "Let's Play Slingo" symbol on the third reel, with maximum bet.
