$3.3 million jackpot won in the Bally interstate progressive slot link

One of the leading developers of gambling products and services Scientific Games Corporation informed the public about the lucky event happened on February 20th , when one player hit a $3.3 million jackpot in its Bally interstate wide-area progressive slot link.

The player from Massachusetts doesn’t want his name to be known to the public. He played Hot Shot Progressive® Video Slot in ARIA Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip for about 1 hour in 1 cent denomination. He succeeded to win $3,331,684.47 in total. During 83 years of the Bally’s history, this is the third time that such a great jackpot was won. Before that, in 2009 a tremendous jackpot of $3,683,932.96 was hit in the Casino Royale in Las Vegas.

The Bally connected its Cash Connection link in the states of New Jersey and Nevada on August 20th, 2014, which gave the chance for getting such a tremendous jackpot. The connection also influenced the game process, making it more catching for gamblers and operators. At the start of the Cash Connection link the total amount of the jackpot was $2,206,417.70 and in the period of 6 months it grew to $3,683,932.96.

The installation of the interstate link happened thanks to the approbations of the regulations made by New Jersey and Nevada’s regulators. These regulations permitted the possibility to combine multi-state jackpots. Sr. VP from Global Gaming Operations Dean Ehrlich commented, “We are glad that our money found its owner. And we are glad that this happened at ARIA Resort & Casino.”

Hot Shot Progressive® Video Slot is an exciting slot with two wheels and 42” display putting atop a 22-inch screen. It offers the most popular features as play mechanics, free games, touch-activated interaction. The jackpot (Mega Fortune Dreams, Cool Buck), hit on February 20th, is the second in this month. On February 11, a $1.5 million prize was won on the Bally 1,000,000 Degrees slot link in Wisconsin, in Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison.
