Bodog Beat

This week saw an amazing combination of circumstances make for a huge online slot payout from the naval battle themed Victory slot. (Bodog Beat Image)

Fifty-five-year-old Howard G. of Houston, TX recently hit a huge jackpot on the Bodog casino’s "Victory" slot. Howard struck it rich when he landed four “captains” and a “ship”. The ship substitutes for a captain giving him the equivalent of five captains. This pays out 10,000 credits and at $5 per line he won $50,000. Not bad but Howard’s win was a like perfect storm of luck since he just happened to be playing on a free spin. While playing on a free spin in Bodog’s “Victory” slot having a ship multiplies any win by four times. That meant that Howard hit himself at $200,000 jackpot! All from the comfort of his own bed while watching baseball.

We had a chance to speak with Howard and ask him about himself and his big win.

Tell us a bit about yourself Howard.

I’m married. I live in Houston, Texas and I have an eleven-year-old son. I’m a CTA and I do some stuff with oil and gas wells.

How long have you been playing in the Bodog casino?

About a couple years now.

Do you play any poker or do any sports betting or are you just into the casino?

Sometimes I play some poker.

So you hit a big win in the casino the other day. Can you tell us a bit about that?

It just happened pretty fast. I barely reacted. I just saw all those dollars start to pile up there really fast.

It amounted to $200,000 right?

Yeah, it was a $200,000 jackpot. It was pretty amazing.

So what did you do immediately after?

Well, I usually play at home on my bed. It happened at around 10 o’clock at night. I was watching the baseball game. It kind of got my blood pressure to rise a little bit. I’m 55-years-old so I can’t get too excited. (laughs)

So you didn’t go on a drinking binge or anything like that?

No, I don’t drink at all. The doctor won’t let me drink. That’s alright though. I did my share of that a long time ago.

So now that you’ve hit the jackpot what do you plan on doing with all that money?

Well there’s my house. The builder made some mistakes when he built my house about seven years ago so I’m having some major repairs. I have to hire a lawyer to sue the builder. Fortunately I’ve been able to rent the house next door to me while the repairs get done. But it’s going to cost about $300,000 to get it all fixed.

Sounds like this is coming at a good time then.

Yeah, it is a good time since we’re fixing to move back into the house and we’ll probably have to wait about a year to collect any money from the builder.
