True Jackpot stories!
Every week, the Electronic Gaming space is the location of supernatural wealth and Jackpot sightings of all kinds. The following are authentic accounts of some of the events that happened this week: Time Travel with EGDs! Louise Lussier was not only the biggest Jackpot winner of the week, but also a 2-time Jackpot winner in a single Sunday visit! Being a classic enthusiast, Louise couldn’t miss the chance to sit at one of our vintage EGDs. These “vintage” machines form a new section that hit the floor just a few weeks ago. Louise chose Ten Times Pay, a 3-reel game that presents fruits, bars, and sevens: a true time travel delight. After some spinning, at 4:13PM, a triple bar symbol and 2 Ten Times Pay symbols appeared, a combination worth 10,000 times the bet! With $0.75 on the line, Louise won $9,000: the biggest Jackpot of the week! Payment […]
A Huge Jackpot Week
It was an unbelievable week at Playground: $138,985.12 were paid out in EGD Jackpots… a true whirlwind of riches! We remember our friend Franco Sicondolfi, who hit $28,791.93 at the wee hours of Saturday morning, last weekend. And of course, we also remember Roger Thifault whom, that same weekend, on Sunday, won 3 Jackpots in one day. Well, guess what. Roger struck again yesterday, for $1,516! One question is on everybody’s mind: What does Roger eat for breakfast? Many other guests had a wonderful day at Playground in the last week. On Friday, February 1, Colin Bird was enjoying a free glass of wine while playing a Quick Hit machine, when a free game triggered a $7,507.80 Jackpot! On Monday, February 4, Line Carrier found herself the happy winner of a $13,274.26 Jackpot! She was playing 5 Treasures, a game with 4 progressive Jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. She […]
One man, three Jackpots!
For Roger Thifault, Sunday was one to remember for a very long time. Roger spent the afternoon in our Electronic Gaming space, enjoying the level of entertainment and gaming experience that can only be found at Playground. At some point in the afternoon, Roger found himself the happy winner of a $3,230 Jackpot. A Playground attendant hand-paid him the amount, part of which was used to keep spinning our EGDs for a while. Why not! After all, playing on profits is pretty fun! Guess what happened next. He hit another $3K+ Jackpot! The exact amount was $3,052. Roger could not believe it! Of course, he kept pressing, in case Lady Luck felt like sticking around a bit more… and she did! $1,218 were waiting around the corner, to complete a rare trifecta! Mr. Roger Thifault, you are the man of the hour!
A huge late-night Jackpot!
Last night at 1:54AM, Franco Sicondolfi hit our second biggest EGD Jackpot to date! He was playing Eternal Lotus, betting $8.80 per spin, when four identical symbols appeared on his screen, along with this message: JACKPOT! CALL ATTENDANT / 28,791.93 CAD Franco is well know at Playground – he has been rounding our tables since the first year – as an experienced poker player and an all around gentleman. He is usually a man of few words, but enjoys a good laugh with his table mates. The whole Playground staff is very happy that he found good fortune in the Eternal Lotus. Congratulations!
Vintage games are finally here!
Modern Electronics Gaming Devices are great; their video animation keeps us entertained with all kinds of fun characters and fantastic scenarios. However, those of us who have been around for a few decades like to enjoy, from time to time, the raw feel of old-school mechanical reels. These timeless machines, offering a heated scrolling of classic symbols – 7, BAR, cherry – take us back to the 80s and 90s, when everything was just a little bit simpler. Ten such devices have made their way to the Playground Electronic Gaming floor: Triple Diamond Haywire Double Diamond Double Diamond Deluxe Double Times Pay Triple Double Diamond Triple Diamond Ten Times Pay Poseidon Double Four Times Pay White Hot 7s These classic titles are located in the far left section, almost at the end, waiting to take you back in time! They are frequently occupied, but more will come soon. If you […]
