Isn't summer great?
It's hot, sunny, ladies are wearing skimpy outfits and sometimes you can hear the faint sound of the ice cream man doing his daily rounds. Plus, it's the one time all year where you can actually grab a real tan.
There's one problem. For summer to truly be enjoyed you need money; preferably a lot of it.
You've got barbecues to host, beaches to visit, drop-top cars to cruise in, and lots of summer clothes to buy. Unless you're a gamer who has hit a jackpot you've probably been broke since mid July.
Well, to make us feel better about our "brokeness" in summer let us appreciate the gamblers who got lucky this summer. We outline Bodog Casino's biggest winners during the summer.
JUNE
James D. of IL was able to give himself some summer fun by hitting the biggest jackpot of June: $56,632 on the Fruit Frenzy slot machine. Maybe he started playing because this game has what everybody loves in the summertime: bananas, oranges, pears, strawberries, and watermelons. So how did he win? The game actually has a random progressive jackpot and we guess the gaming gods deemed him worthy.
The second biggest winner in June was Brad B. of TX. We don't know if you've heard but it gets stupid hot in the summertime in Texas. Luckily it looks like Brad has enough cash to buy about a 100 air conditioners because he won $34,353 on the Sunken Treasure slot machine. How cool is that? Playing the Sunken Treasure slot than actually finding some! He won because like the Fruit Frenzy game it has a random progressive jackpot.
JULY
Think only these progressive jackpots pay off huge? The month of July proves otherwise. Marjie B. of SC pulled in $49,340 on the Keno game. If you don't know Keno is a lottery type of game.
You get a Keno Card with numbers from one (1) to eighty (80). The player selects a wager amount from the top right of the Keno Card, and predicts what numbers will be drawn by selecting one or as many as fifteen of those numbers on the Keno Card. The wager amounts are $1, $5 and $10 and stay the same regardless of how many numbers are chosen
You need to check out the Payout Table to the upper left of the Keno Card to see how Marjie got paid out.
Blackjack was the money-making game for Paul W. of NC. You know how the game works, you try to get as close as possible to 21 without going over. This guy must've been using the optimal strategy, because he won $44,490! He'll be able to attend his share of Carolina Panther NFL games with his pockets this fat.
As for August, well... with only a few days left it's looking like the summer will close out with another great crop of big winners in the Bodog Casino! Stay tuned to the Bodog Beat Casino News to see if your name made the "Big Casino Winners" list!
