Hitting The Jackpot: Recent Wins on the Mississippi Coast
Published 9:54 am Thursday, July 25, 2024
The Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort has been buzzing with excitement lately as there have been jackpots nearly every day. On Sunday, the casino’s Facebook page buzzed with news of one patron who hit the jackpot four times in one day. A woman referred to as Elizabeth C. appeared on the Scarlet Pearl Casino’s Facebook reels in a photograph holding a giant check with the caption, “Congrats to Elizabeth C. for hitting $1,873.24 on Tiki Treasures”.
Shortly after the initial post, another one was made stating, “Congrats to Elizabeth C. for hitting $1,463.69 on Sahara Gold Lightning Link.” Her lucky streak knew no bounds because she hit the jackpot twice more and ended up making off with a total of $6.006.93 in jackpot prizes.
News about a bill for online sports betting to be legalized was announced earlier this year. The bill could open the door for other forms of gambling to be legalized, as well as for online gambling developers to possibly connect with land-based casinos and collaborate. Sites accepting various payment options like Interac casino sites (which offer instant payments with limited personal information shared) and credit card casinos would greatly benefit from a bill like this one if another aimed at online casinos is ever introduced. Given the news of recent jackpots, online platforms would provide far more chances for players to hit the jackpot from variations like online casinos, crypto gambling, online poker, online slots, and many more that would also open up all new avenues for tax revenue in the state if a future bill catering to them was ever introduced.
People might be wondering what makes Mississippi stand out when it comes to jackpot winners though as that jackpot streak didn’t just end with Elizabeth C being the only lucky one this season at Scarlet Pearl Casino. Three very big wins were made on Friday, July 1 as well. The first in this streak was a win of $50,000 which was made by a man who had only bet $1,80 at the time that he won the jackpot prize.
A little while after his big win, a woman from Gulfport was even luckier, making $86,000 in a jackpot win. Her success was swiftly followed by a $100,000 win by a man from Iuka, Mississippi who had been playing The Triple Blazing 7s Double game. The man from Iuka had no taxes imposed on his win as he was playing high-limit spins for $100, so he got to walk away with the full sum.
Many other casinos have shared the good fortune of their patrons including The Golden Nugget Biloxi, Hard Rock Hotel, and Casino Biloxi, but they don’t mention their patrons by name, choosing to keep it secret for their protection. It has been a good year for gambling at the tables and slots on the Mississippi coast and it seems even more promising for the months to come. Besides the Scarlet Pearl Casino, other Mississippi casinos that have enjoyed some tremendous jackpot opportunities for their patrons include The IP Casino Resort Spa, The Hard Rock Casino Biloxi, and Beau Rivage Resort.
IP Casino Resort Spa has also had tremendous successes—though they aren’t exactly credited as jackpots. One lucky player got to walk away with $80,000 and others got payouts that were worth over $50,000. A very impressive win was by Duane who won $162,868.67 at IP Casino Biloxi. At Hard Rock Casino Biloxi, an unnamed player won $160,000 in the high-limit rooms. Another unnamed player won a whopping $1,217,921.02 jackpot at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. Proving that you never know when it might be your day, the best part is that person had been playing a $1 Dragon Link game at the time.
