ATLANTIC CITY (June 1, 2023) – A
lucky Caesars Rewards member hit the first-ever 88 FORTUNES® wide
area progressive jackpot from Light & Wonder’s 88 FORTUNES®
Jackpot Festival™ while playing online with Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in
New Jersey. Stacy M. from Edgewater, New Jersey was playing 88 FORTUNES online
for 20 minutes before landing a watermarked Phoenix symbol on all five reels
to win $308,914.50 on a $2.64 spin. Her initial reaction was, “This can’t be real,
this is a mistake, maybe this is only supposed to be a $3,000 win, I am in
shock!”
Stacy M. plans to pay off all of her debts and put a down payment on a house
with her winnings. Caesars recently hosted Stacy M. and her family for a
celebratory dinner at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen at Caesars Atlantic City
and provided them with a complimentary stay in honor of this historic
win.
The 88 FORTUNES Jackpot Festival wide area progressive jackpot, available
through Light & Wonder’s OPENGAMING® platform, offers players the
chance to win bigger jackpot rewards through a prize pool that can be
generated by multiple operators within a state. This jackpot win was made
possible through Caesars Digital’s partnership with Light & Wonder to
bring the popular brick-and-mortar casino game, 88 FORTUNES, to online casino
customers.
“We’d like to extend our congratulations to Stacy for claiming the first big
win of the 88 FORTUNES Jackpot Festival,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice
President of iGaming at Caesars Digital. “This jackpot and the experience we
provided this customer in Atlantic City is an example of our ability to turn a
digital win into world-class opportunities at our destinations. Light &
Wonder’s Jackpot Festival is an exciting digital complement to our
brick-and-mortar offerings with elevated gameplay that can lead to significant
winnings.”
In addition to 88 FORTUNES and other market-leading slot games from
best-in-class providers, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino and Tropicana Online
Casino offer New Jersey customers a wide variety of classic and cutting-edge
casino games, including American and European Roulette, Live Dealer Blackjack,
Poker and Baccarat, digital classics like Video Poker, and much more.
Customers also earn unmatched rewards through their play via an integration
with the industry-leading loyalty program,
Caesars Rewards.
Rob Procter, Vice President of Game Development at Light & Wonder said:
“Progressive jackpots are intrinsic to land-based casinos across the United
States, and now Light & Wonder is making them a must-have product through
our Jackpot Festival series of games. The first big win secured through our
wide area progressive Jackpot Festival demonstrates the stakes that are in the
games and the thrill that comes along with it. We are proud to have developed
a tool that brings next-level engagement to operators while also offering the
potential for life-changing rewards for players. Light & Wonder is
overjoyed for the Caesars Rewards member and wishes them huge congratulations
on their victory.”
Caesars has a legacy in responsible gaming and remains committed to
responsible gaming education. As a complement to the tools in place that
encourage responsible play with Caesars Sportsbook & Casino and Tropicana
Online Casino, Caesars recently announced two new responsible gaming
policies.
The first is the industry’s most comprehensive universal exclusion policy,
which adds participants who are currently on a state-sponsored self-exclusion
list where Caesars operates to the universal exclusion list for all Caesars'
gaming facilities and platforms across the enterprise. In addition, the
company has adopted an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that restricts Caesars
Rewards accounts to individuals over 21 years of age and, where permitted by
law, limits all domestic gaming, pari-mutuel, sports, and iGaming options to
those over 21 years of age.
