EGDs – the biggest Jackpot week to date!

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!

Big and smooth, true to the Big Bird’s legacy as a dominant defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens, and aged in six barrels, one for each of the Stanley Cup rings Larry won with le tricolore, this whisky is something to behold.

As the showdown revealed, the very last community card that was tabled by the dealer completed 4 of a kind for Mario and a royal flush for Martin, the highest possible hand in poker! Both players, after a few days that must have been spent making spending and saving plans, came by the club to claim their …
