$236,313 payday at Thunder Valley Casino Resort

1 June 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A lucky Thunder Rewards member is likely asking themselves a very exciting question this weekend: What will I do with $236,313.31?

The massive payout marks the third jackpot exceeding $100,000 at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in just one week, continuing an extraordinary streak of life-changing wins.

The jackpot was won Saturday morning when a Thunder Rewards member hit the Buffalo Link progressive jackpot on a multi-denominational machine at the 10-cent level. The winning spin turned a $10.00 wager into a $236,313.31 payday.

The progressive jackpot has since reset to $200,000.

“Every jackpot tells a different story, but there is something especially exciting about seeing a $10.00 wager turn into more than $236,000,” said Dawn Clayton, General Manager of Thunder Valley Casino Resort. “Moments like this are why so many guests enjoy the excitement of our gaming floor. You never know when the next life-changing jackpot is going to hit.”

The latest six-figure jackpot is part of a remarkable year of winning at Thunder Valley. Over the past 12 months, the casino has awarded more than 251,000 jackpots, averaging nearly 700 jackpots every day, or approximately one jackpot every two minutes.

Thunder Valley Casino Resort features one of the largest casino floors in Northern California, with thousands of slot machines, table games, award-winning dining, live entertainment, luxury accommodations, and nonstop gaming excitement.
