Slot Machine Pays Out $1.6 Million To Lucky Boca Raton Resident
December 10, 2009 10:50 amKennis Collins (51) has become the fourth lucky slot player to walk away with a $1 million-plus win from the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in the past 20 months.
Jeopardy is a slot produced by IGT with a progressive jackpot which starts off at $500,000 and these type of slots are generally favored by individuals who enjoy trying their luck at winning the big pot. The tennis coach from Boca Raton said he only started playing the Jeopardy! MegaJackpot slot after noting that other players seemed to be winning at that particular type of game.
At the time of scooping the massive $1,589,193 jackpot, Kennis Collins said, “I wasn’t sure which of the three amounts listed I won. I didn’t think it was the big one.” His confusion soon turned to elation, though, after realising he had just become a millionaire.
The hard working tennis coach said he loves teaching tennis, but has managed to run up a few debts recently and hadn’t been able to take a vacation in over four years. He says he now intends to remedy both those situations, but will continue coaching after taking a nice long vacation.
The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is part of a 300 strong Native American casino group with a linked network of progressive jackpot machines which keeps getting bigger until it is won. The Seminole Casino, however, declared itself the “Jackpot Capital of the World” following a string of lucky winners over the past 20 months which includied a Lake Worth resident’s $2 million win last July.
