| ELGIN, ILLINOIS – At about 2:16am on June 27, 2006, Norberto V. a construction business owner from Chicago, Illinois won $730,381 while playing on a Five Times Pay™ reel progressive machine at the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin. Norberto chose to play this game because he remembered that Pedro Mendoza, a recent Grand Victoria jackpot winner, had won his $471,000 jackpot on a similar machine in May. Norberto immediately won the $730,381 jackpot with his first bet.
“This is my favorite casino --- excellent personnel!” exclaims Norberto. “My brother has also won here at Grand Victoria. I love this casino! I’m gonna keep coming here and bring my wife with me. My aunt will be coming for a visit. I will also bring her here.” Norberto, a father of five, intends to invest some of his winnings into his construction business, based in Elgin, and plans on taking his family on a vacation.
“We’re all so excited for Norberto! We’ve been waiting for this day with great anticipation and we’re happy to see this crowning moment happen to one of our loyal players.” says Michelle Bell, Director of Marketing.
