Everybody loves it when something pays out, be it rakebackfrom your online poker game, ora slot machine. You love it even more when it’s a progressive. Imagine how happy you would be if your progressive slot machine jackpot was at Four Hundred Thousand US Dollars and it came in! For Tracy Shepard of Edgewood in Maryland USA, her Friday night flutter will be one that she remembers for the rest of her life when she spun the wheels on her slot machine and hit the jackpot! The Delaware casino was the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Delaware and this jackpot is chalking up to be the third highest in casino history.

She was a the Wheel of Fortune Megajackpots slot machine playing happily away when the momentous line came up. She says it was really peculiar when suddenly the machine started beeping and flashing at her and it didn’t quite make any sense to start with as to how much money she had won. The total jackpot that was in the progressive machine was Four Hundred and Ten Thousand, Eight Hundred and Eighty Five Thousand US Dollars. For those not in the know, a progressive jackpot is a slot machine where the total is carried forward with every spin and the total jackpot grows over time. The machines can also be interlinked between casinos so that several machines are all playing for the one jackpot. Of course the more machines you have then naturally the total pot will climb faster.

Casino Analyst Steve Shwartz was not surprised at the total of the win and in fact says that we are going to see more and more of wins like these appearing around the US and the rest of the world. In the future it is inevitable that these sort of jackpots are going to become more common due to the growth of casinos through America and the new casinos will be built with slot machines that are linked and so will create more jackpot hits.”
