01.02.10 - Santa Claus Arrived at the Casino over a Month Late
The "Casino Santa's" gift bag poured out its contents on 29th of January, when the Santa Special slot machine surprised a Helsinki resident with a 122 720 € jackpot.
The Casino's largest progressive jackpot, Santa's Special, surprised a Helsinki resident on 29th of January around 2 a.m. The lucky winner, a self-described workman, instantly became 122 720 euros richer after having played on Grand Casino Helsinki's Santa's Special slots. The slot machine's maximum bet of 1.50 € a spin is needed to trigger the jackpot.
Even though the jackpot was won in the small hours of the morning, the winner gathered enough courage to call his wife to ask her for their account number, which he had forgotten in the excitement of winning, and which he needed in order to deposit the jackpot winnings in his bank account. Reportedly, this time his wife did not mind receiving a call in the middle of the night.
