 Central Valley Residents Win Big at Table Mountain Casino; In 2004, Table Mountain Casino Celebrated Over $4 Million in Payouts
PR Newswire, March 1, 2005
FRESNO, Calif., March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Only three days apart, two Valley residents took home a combined total of $547,604 and a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. This is proof positive that Table Mountain Casino is the perfect place to take a "Lucky Break."
Guests need only travel 15-minutes outside of Fresno to enjoy 2,000 popular slot machines from five cents to $5 a play, as well as over two dozen table games including Blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em, Three-Card Poker, Let It Ride, Pai Gow and other favorites as well as bingo, award-winning dining and live entertainment.
Ireta Sims of Hanford sat down at a Harley Davidson machine for five minutes and hit the jackpot for a whopping $280,714.15 and a Harley Davidson Motorcycle.
"I honestly thought something was wrong with the machine. I couldn't believe it," said Sims. "I've been going to Table Mountain Casino for about two years now because I enjoy the atmosphere; they have good food and people are so nice and friendly. I usually play on the poker machines, but thought I would try out the Harley slots. I'm glad I did."
Isidra Hernandez of Fresno decided to take a super "Lucky Break" in front of her favorite machine Wheel of Fortune. After three or four hours of playing she thought she had won about $400, when she was informed that her total winnings were $266,889.24.
"I never thought I would experience something as big as this. I never dreamed that I would earn so much money," explained Hernandez. "This is truly a once in a lifetime experience I will cherish for the rest of my life."
While both guests are still trying to comprehend their wins, Hernandez plans to first take her family on vacation and then make a down payment on a new house and invest the rest of the money for the future of her children's college education.
These guests, like thousands of other Table Mountain Casino winners, have confirmed Table Mountain's reputation as the Central California casino with the most winners and the hottest 24/7 gaming action.
Since 2001, Table Mountain Casino has given away nearly $14 million in progressive jackpots alone.
Located on Friant Road just 15 minutes from Fresno, Table Mountain Casino is owned and operated by the Chukchansi-Mono Band of Indians. To learn more about Table Mountain Casino and the current promotions, visit http://www.tmcasino.com/.
