A Massachusetts casino player won more than $100,000 after betting $10.
The player bet $10 on the game “Fire Link” at Encore Boston Harbor casino, located in Everett, on Jan. 3. The player then won the jackpot prize of $101,187.
Two days before, a Quincy man won a life-changing amount of money at the same casino — and set a new record.
The man, who was not named by the casino, was playing “Royal 9 Baccarat” in the early hours of New Year’s Day when he hit the progressive jackpot of $1,620,335.70.
The jackpot prize had been nearing $1.6 million earlier in December. But it continued climbing without a winner.
“The record-setting win adds to the excitement of the holiday celebration and underscores the thrill of high-stakes gaming at the resort,” a press release from the casino states.
Encore Boston Harbor casino, located in Everett, has more than 2,700 slot machines and more than 175 table games.
Players must be 21 years or older.
More than 16,000 jackpots were won on slot machines and table games at the Massachusetts casino in December.
Overall, $43,030,773.07 was paid out across 16,147 total jackpots at Encore Boston Harbor casino. Of those, 15,989 jackpots worth $41,387,729.07 were from slot machines.
The largest jackpot won off of a slot machine at Encore Boston Harbor in December was won on Dec. 28. A progressive jackpot worth $208,191.29 was won after a player bet $100 on the game “Dragon Emperor – Ultimate Fast Cash.”
