| | | Grand Victoria Pays Out Chicagoland’s Largest Slot Jackpot! |
| ELGIN, ILLINOIS – At about 3:00 p.m. on Monday, October 29, 2007, Dimitrios K. of Beloit, Wisconsin won $845,388.40, Chicagoland’s largest slot jackpot to date, on a Five Times Pay™ stand-alone progressive at the Grand Victoria Casino. Dimitrios, who says he only plays at the Grand Victoria, had a feeling that he was going to win big that day. “Yeah! I thought I was gonna get it! This jackpot!” Dimitrios exclaimed with a smile. And when he finally saw the three Five Times Pay™ symbols on the reels, he victoriously exclaimed to himself, “Yes!”
“Chicagoland’s overall loosest slots delivers yet again! We’ve been looking forward to this day and we were all excited to see this crowning moment happen to one of our loyal players. We take great pride in having Chicagoland’s biggest jackpot winners. With our progressive meters averaging over $3 million daily, paying out winners is what we do best,” says Michelle Bell, Director of Marketing.
Last year, Grand Victoria paid out $730,381 to Norberto V., a construction business owner and $471,620 to Pedro M., a real estate broker. Norberto and Pedro, both from Chicago, Illinois, also won their big jackpots while playing on a Five Times Pay™ progressive game.
For the second year in a row, the readers of Strictly Slots magazine have voted the Grand Victoria Chicagoland’s “Best Casino” in its recent “Best of Slots” poll. Having also coveted Casino Player magazine’s “Best Overall Casino” award for the third time in July, Grand Victoria has once again proven that it is truly the premier gaming experience in the Chicagoland market. The Grand Victoria has earned a total of fifty awards in both “Best of Slots” and “Best of Gaming” 2007 polls.
Offering unparalleled gaming action on Chicagoland’s verified overall loosest slot floor for over ten years running, Grand Victoria is also the first casino to bring free admission and free self parking to the Chicagoland area when it opened in October, 1994, prompting other casinos in the market to follow suit. The Grand Victoria Casino, located in Elgin on the scenic Fox River, features over 1,100 slot machines and a wide variety of table games that include Blackjack, Roulette, Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Craps, and Baccarat. Grand Victoria Casino is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.
