Florida Man Wins Over $900,000 Progressive Jackpot
May 6, 2014 — “Did I do it? Did I really do it?” was what Stephen S. of Deltona, Florida asked himself as five ‘Progressive’ symbols lined up on the Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory slot machine at Palace Casino Resort. Stephen was questioning if it was really true that he had just won a jackpot of $911,230.73 on the penny progressive slot machine at 1:38 PM this afternoon.
A sheet metal worker, Stephen, 61, said he visits the Palace Casino Resort annually because it is a non-smoking casino. Each summer he visits Ft. Walton Beach for a week and started visiting the Palace Casino Resort during his trip to the Florida panhandle after learning of the smoke free casino.
He enjoys participating in Palace Casino Resort’s weekly Club 50 Plus slot tournament and was playing the Willy Wonka slot machine to earn points for his tournament entry. Stephen, who had been playing for 15 to 20 minutes, had only inserted $40 in the WMS slot machine when he won the $911,230.73 progressive prize!
When asked what he plans on doing with this winnings, Stephen commented he would be taking his daughter and three grandkids to Walt Disney World.
