Eternal Lotus, one of two games offered by the title Fù Guì Róng Huá, has become one of Playground’s most popular EGD titles. This game has earned its popularity with good reason, as it can provide unbelievable Jackpots. Something Debbie learned all about first hand shortly after 1:00am on Friday morning. Debbie was playing with a wager of only $1.76 when she had the good fortune to unlock the bonus feature. Debbie immediately knew that she was about to cash in, but the result surpassed even her wildest expectations. The reels aligned at the outset of the bonus game to award three golden coins, which meant the start of something special. Three “Grand” symbols followed right after, to Debbie’s surprise and delight, and unlocked a massive jackpot. As the “Jackpot! Call attendant” message appeared on the screen, Debbie could not believe her eyes when she saw the figure that followed. […]

Yesterday, a little after 5:00pm, Lydie Stacey’s name was picked as the 6th of 10 participants to play Trick or Treat. A few pumpkins later, she was the happy winner of a brand new 2019 Buick Envision! The goal of the game is simple.

A ghost! The symbol for a prize of $1,000. Lydie was off to a good start. At this point, she had to choose between ending the game and taking $250 in free play as her prize, or giving […]
A Record-setting Jackpot
Today is a day that Bruno Roy will remember for a very, very long time. He chose the right game at the right time and turned an ordinary Thursday afternoon into one for the record books! He was playing Ramses Gold on Bally’s Power Strike at the time, one of Playground’s more popular EGD titles, when the glorious moment happened. All it took was a single spin on the five-reel, 30-line game. Nine Power Strike symbols fell across the screen and awarded a record-setting number of credits. Thanks to the progressive jackpot that was just unleashed, Bruno’s $1,50 bet returned a $45,393.11 win! This monumental EGD jackpot stands as the largest awarded at Playground, so far, one that Bruno and his wife will be enjoying for quite some time!

$4,000,000 Milestone!
$4M in Jackpots! The Electronic Gaming Space recently reached a new milestone payout that brought the total amount awarded through jackpots to over $4,000,000! Since electronic gaming was initially added to Playground’s offerings in December 2018, the machines have awarded countless jackpots, creating many happy players in the process.

Both coincided with perpetually popular Playground poker events; the World Cup of Cards and the Power Weekend.
