PINE BLUFF, Ark. — One player at Saracen Casino Resort is feeling lucky after they shattered the record for any jackpot that had previously been won in the state of Arkansas.
On Tuesday, officials with the casino announced that a guest from Hot Springs won the platinum $924,562 jackpot while playing IGT's new Whitney Houston-branded slot machine.
"Saracen was the first casino in Arkansas to install Wide Area Progressive slots, machines in which the jackpot grows alongside machines across the United States, including the Las Vegas Strip,” Matt Harkness, General Manager of Saracen Casino said. “Previous multi-state jackpots have been won at Saracen before, but this shatters all previous payouts."
IGT Vice President of Gaming Operations Premium Product, Tony Sofran, expressed his excitement for the big win on the Whitney Houston slots.
“A jackpot of this magnitude, on a game as spectacular as Whitney Houston Slots, creates a uniquely memorable casino event and is a hallmark of an IGT wide-area progressive game," he added.
