Texan Takes Laptop to Bed and Wins $200,000 Progressive Jackpot

Recently at Bodog Casino (www.Casino.BodogLife.com) an amazing combination of circumstances made for a huge online slot payout. The winner, fifty-five-year-old Howard G. of Houston, TX was playing the naval battle themed online slot machine called Victory. 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 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 a $200,000 progressive jackpot! All from the comfort of his own bed while watching baseball. Howard is married and has an eleven-year-old son. He’s a CTA and says he does “some stuff with oil and gas wells”. The big jackpot winner has been enjoying online casino games for couple years now. He occassionally plays poker but seldom makes sports bets. “It just happened pretty fast. I barely reacted,” said the lucky Texan. “I just saw all those dollars start to pile up there really fast. It was a $200,000 jackpot. It was pretty amazing. Howard usually plays online casino games at home, in bed. On the winning night, a baseball game on TV got him excited. About ten o’clock he decided to play the slots and not long after his life had changed forever. Howard plans to invest his winnings in his house. “The builder made some mistakes when he built my house about seven years ago so I’m having some major repairs,” he said. “So the timing of this win was perfect!”
