The Island Resort & Casino is thrilled to announce an exciting moment of celebration as one lucky guest hit the jackpot, winning a staggering $630,084.36 on a progressive slot machine just before 4:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, September 5, 2024.
The lucky winner, Deanna Juday from Wautoma, WI, struck the wide area progressive platinum jackpot on the IGT Whitney Houston Slots game, which only arrived on the Island’s gaming floor in June this year. Juday placed a $3 bet in a penny denomination when bells rang, a Whitney song played, and the screens began to flash the astounding jackpot dollar figure. A moment Juday will never forget.
Before Juday left Wisconsin, she told people she had the feeling she was going to win a jackpot. She believes the win now gives her an incredible opportunity to pay it forward and help others.
“We are overjoyed to celebrate this incredible win with Deanna,” said Player Services Manager, Robin Bourdeau of the Island Resort & Casino. “It’s moments like these that make our commitment to providing an exciting and rewarding gaming experience truly worthwhile. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our winner and are thrilled to be part of her extraordinary experience.”
“IGT is excited that Island Resort & Casino experienced the thrill of becoming the first casino in the U.S. to award a player the top-level wide-area progressive jackpot on IGT’s Whitney Houston Slots,” said Tony Sofran, IGT Vice President Gaming Operations Premium Products. “IGT’s Whitney Houston Slots is packed with so much entertainment and chart-topping music that it quickly attracts attention on a gaming floor and a jackpot hit of more than $600,000 only adds to its appeal.”
The Island was the first IGT partner to feature the Whitney Houston Slots game in our market. Whitney machines are in 38 properties across the United States sharing the wide area progressive.
