SENECA ALLEGANY CASINO & HOTEL ANNOUNCES $366,248 JACKPOT WINNER AT CARIBBEAN STUD POKER Erie, Pa. man was celebrating 30th wedding anniversary during visit
SALAMANCA, N.Y. – A lucky player celebrating a 30th wedding anniversary at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel scored the ultimate gift: a jackpot of $366,248 while playing Caribbean Stud Poker. The lucky win occurred at 5:05 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5 when a royal flush of hearts turned over on the table.
The player, identified as Dan C. of Erie, Pa., decided to place the additional progressive jackpot bet of $1 before cards were dealt, providing the opportunity to win bonus amounts with a hand of flush or higher. Dan chose not to touch or look at his cards, and was stunned when the dealer turned over an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 of hearts. “The suited cards of hearts were fitting, given the fact that Dan and his wife were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary,” said Richard Tesler, director of table games, Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. “He has other options for gaming at casinos closer to home, but comes here regularly because of the great service and excitement. Besides the big win, we’re happy to announce a reseeded progressive jackpot of $115,000 for Caribbean Stud Poker, so that others have a shot at hitting it big, too.” Dan is the proud father of two sons and is anticipating a first grandchild in April.
