Million Dollar Jackpot at Jackson Rancheria Casino

A Lincoln man won over 1 million-three-hundred-thousand dollars playing a Star Wars penny slot machine at Jackson Rancheria Casino on November 26. “I never thought Star Wars would pay me more than $1 million!” said the 36-year old winner, who asked to remain anonymous. This is the largest single jackpot in Jackson Rancheria Casino’s history – the winner hit the MegaJackpot on the game machine. Jackson Rancheria Casino has had over 40 of the progressive MegaJackpot winners, more than any other casino in Northern California. “We have now awarded six jackpots over a million dollars and paid out over $19 million through these popular machines,” said Mike Pistoia, Director of Marketing and Player Development at the casino. Jackson Rancheria Casino features over 1,500 slot machines, and is the largest employer in Amador County, with more than 2,000 employees.
