It was a day like any other in the Bodog Casino for 55-year-old Howard G. of Houston, Texas, playing "Victory" slots like he'd done many times before, but that all changed when the reels spun and revealed four "captains" and a "ship". Acting as a wildcard, the "ship" gave Howard the equivalent of five "captains", which paid out 10,000 credits and, at $5 a line, earned Howard an impressive $50,000. Not a bad win, but lady luck must have really been smiling on Howard, as he happened to make his big score on a free spin which turns any "ship" into a four times multiplier, turning his impressive $50,000 win into an incredible $200,000 jackpot!
Bodog's entertainment blog, Bodog Beat, had a chance to speak with Howard, who said he'd been playing in the Bodog Casino "...for a couple years now." He recounted his moment of victory, saying, "It just happened pretty fast. I barely reacted. I just saw all those dollars start to pile up there really fast." When asked about the entire experience, Howard said, "It was pretty amazing," adding, "It kind of got my blood pressure to rise a little bit. I'm 55-years-old so I can't get too excited. (laughs)"
