Jackpot winnings at New York’s newest and closet casino total more than $34 million since February public opening
MONTICELLO, N.Y. (August 29) – The list of big money winners continues to grow at Resorts World Catskills, New York’s newest and closest integrated casino resort to Manhattan. Xian Zhao of New York City won a $413,311.31 Blazing 7s Blackjack™ Progressive jackpot.
Blazing 7s Blackjack™ Progressive is a new game based on sevens. To begin each round of play, a patron makes a standard blackjack bet and also places a Blazing 7’s progressive bet. If at least one of the first two cards dealt to the patron is a seven, the patron wins a jackpot. If both of the first two cards dealt to the patron are sevens, the patron wins a larger amount. The jackpot payout also increases if the dealer’s “up card” is a seven. The more sevens, the more you can win.
“It has been quite an exciting summer of winners at Resorts World Catskills and we want to congratulate Xian Zhao for taking a $5 side wager and turning it into more than $400,000. This is a monumental progressive jackpot and the largest to date,” said Jack Kennedy, Vice President of Table Games for Resorts World Catskills. “Since opening our doors in February, we have paid out more than $34 million in jackpot winnings, and this is only the beginning!”
