Woman wins over $455,000 at Oklahoma casino7 March 2012SHAWNEE, Oklahoma -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- When Janice Winters from Flint, Texas visits her son and grandchildren in Edmond, they always go to FireLake Grand Casino while she is visiting. She remarked that the people at FireLake Grand are always so nice, and she really enjoys going there. However, her recent visit was exceptional. On Saturday, March 3 rd, Mrs. Winters won $455,856.20 playing a Bally's Instant Fortune Wide-Area Progressive Slot Machine! When asked about her plans for her winnings, Janice Winters had a quick reply. She plans to take her grandchildren to Disney World this summer, set up college funds for the grandchildren, and put the rest of her winnings in savings. “We are very excited for Ms. Winters,” said Steve Degraffenreid, General Manager of FireLake Grand Casino. “The Bally's Instant Fortune progressive is attractive, the games are fun to play, and the jackpots for the game that Mrs. Winters was playing start at $250,000 and go up.” When asked when the next wide-area progressive jackpot would hit, Degraffenreid said, “Nobody ever knows but there is a trend of two occurring at the same property within 30 days. Nothing scientific behind it, just a trend I’ve noticed.” Presented with pride by the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, FireLake Grand Casino features more than 1,800 Vegas-style games in the beautiful 125,000 square foot facility, from the hottest slot machines to some 100 table games. Six percent of the FireLake Grand’s net gaming revenue goes to support the state’s public education from the games designated “Class 3, Oklahoma Compact.” Dining options range from sizzling steaks at Embers Steakhouse to the exciting Grandstand Sports Grille and The Grand Buffet. Construction is well underway for the new FireLake Grand Hotel which will feature 250 luxurious suites and is set to open in Spring 2013. The Casino is conveniently located just east of Oklahoma City on Interstate 40 at Exit 178. |
