Taking Home the Money
The Bodog Entertainment online casino gambling group announced another major
winner on the site’s progressive slots. Bodog is one of the few internet
gambling sites still operating in the United States gambling market, which means
a large majority of the Bodog winners are American players gambling under the
radar of the U.S. government. The federal ban on foreign online casinos
specifically makes internet gambling illegal for the financial institutions and
companies processing the transactions and enabling the gamblers to play on the
site. Although many of the gambling sites left the U.S. market and focused on
the emerging European online gambling market, Bodog still offers its full suite
of casino and poker games to all U.S. players.
The latest U.S. player is from Houston, Texas and plans to use the $200,000 in
winnings to fix his house and sue the previous contractor. The Texas online
casino gambler is a frequent Bodog player who regularly visits the site but has
never before hit such a large jackpot win. Interestingly, the multiplier and
extra spins feature built into the Victory video slots game triggered the huge
payout. He won $50,000 at the spin of the reel – but then in the free-spin round
he hit a quadruple multiplier and ended up with a cool $200,000 in his bankroll.
As for where he plans to spend his online casino winnings – the Texas gambler
will use the winnings to pay for legal fees and home repairs to fix the botched
job of a local contractor who built the gamblers home seven years previously.
The repair work and legal fees amount to a bit over the $300,000 mark, so this
will surely go a long way toward fixing the players home. |
