Casino Awards Two $1M Jackpots After Name Blunder

Happy ending and plenty of million dollar prizes

Casino jackpots nowadays are very impressive and it is always nice to see lucky players claim seven-figure prizes from a game of chance. The story is even better when the casino makes a small blunder and gives the prize to the wrong player that just happened to have the exact some name as the winner. By the time the casino officials realized that they made a mistake, one of the men named Kevin Lewis from Cincinnati had already cashed in the one million dollars prize and got all the congratulations that came with it.

After the casino management made the final verification check, it decided to also award the other Kevin Lewis from Cincinnati with another one million dollar prize as part of the ”$3 million Summer Giveaway” promotion.

The Vice President of Human Resources from the casino stated that it was the right thing to do after realizing the name mess-up. The actual winner had to be notified and it didn’t seem fair to take the prize away from the other player after granting him a life-changing amount of money.

Another person from the management team added that it was their blunder and that the players should come first and so they did what was right for the guests, even if it was another million dollars awarded with no planning beforehand. The two men named Kevin Lewis have no relations and will now join Reatha Jenkins as the winners. The promotion will award another million on September 1^st to complete the now $4 million promotion.

Millions of dollars from online casino games

Since we are talking about casino prizes worth millions of dollars, we also have to mention the huge winning potential that can be found over the internet. Just last week we saw one lucky player hit the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot and cashed in €3.75 million; the fourth largest jackpot ever awarded by the game.

The action continues with online casinos constantly offering users the chance to play for huge prizes with just a small bet. Online slots lead the charge since they are very popular around the world and also have the odds that can allow for some impressive jackpots to form. Of course, there are also smaller prizes that can be claimed over the internet and studies show that most players prefer to win less and more frequent rather than hope to hit that once in a lifetime jackpot.

Table games also have their appeal and while the prizes are not as big, it is much easier to win given the better odds. Some titles, such as blackjack, can also be improved through basic strategies and players can really walk away with a nice profit while playing from the comfort of their own homes.
