January 18, 2019January 18, 2019 | Jôle Simard

Last weekend was by far the busiest since our Electronic Gaming space opened its doors to the public. Playground welcomed and signed up hundreds of new guests. News of the best customer service north of Vegas and the highest payout rate in Canada travels fast!

Playground’s Electronic Gaming Devices have been rather generous this week, giving out a total of $133,349 in Jackpots alone! Since last Friday, 44 Jackpots were hit, including our biggest to date, worth $30,222.70!

A few other notable Jackpots:

On Saturday the 12th, Normand Turenne was betting $4 a spin on 50 Mega Clover, a 5-reel game with 50 fixed lines, when he hit a $4,242.40 Jackpot!

The very next day, Dominic Tremblay was paid out a cool $10,000 sum, the second biggest of the week. He was playing Fruits ‘n Royals at the far end of the room.

Last night at 2AM, Quick Hit did it again! Lynn Handfield, playing $1,50 a spin, got herself some free games and as a result, was hand-paid $3,759.60!

If you haven’t checked out our new Electronic Gaming space yet, don’t waste any more time. Free drinks and a friendly staff are waiting for you… and maybe a Jackpot!

Flaming Hot in Cuba

The Rum and Coke drink was created in Cuba in the early 20th century, when Coca-Cola started exporting their sugary soft drink to the country. The drink’s traditional name, Cuba Libre (Free Cuba), is a reminder of the strong American presence in Cuba in those years. It wasn’t long before the Cuba Libre made its way north to the United States, and from there everywhere in the world. The drink, simply made with rum, cola, ice, and served with a lime wedge, reminds of hot Cuba and the warm summer nights by the beach. The icy Rum and Coke may …

Since their creation, they have only gained popularity with each passing year and now have a global status as cool, refreshing drinks that are ideal in the hot summer months. Playground’s drink menu features the strawberry daiquiri, available with or without rum, and it should be your drink of choice when things start heating up. Much like the daiquiri, the pin-up model has iconic status in twentieth century culture; they are attention grabbing, easily recognized and have …
