The online casino, Bodog Casino has announced that one lucky player has recently won a Progressive Jackpot while Playing the game Let ‘Em Ride.

The winner Zachary M. hit a royal flush that won him a huge $159,000 Jackpot win. He was playing Let ‘Em Ride, and placed a $1 side-bet for the outside chance of taking home 100% of the jackpot. With a 1 out of 649,741 chance of hitting a royal flush, many players opt to not take this side-bet, but Zachary decided that it was worth it, especially based on previous experience.

The winner had hit a royal flush in the past at Bodog Casino, but had not made the side-bet. Zachary says. “That’s why you can’t be afraid to go big and always make the side bet.”

This time, he did not make the same mistake. The winner stated “I have been the game for a little while and when I hit the jackpot I couldn’t believe it. I was very excited.”

When asked what he was planning to do with the amount, he said “I’d like to take a vacation. And I’d like to enter the World Series of Poker tournament.”

He added, “I may even decide to take the remainder and see if I can hit an even bigger jackpot in the future.”

Bodog casino offers a variety of Progressive Jackpot games, from Let’Em Ride and Caribbean Stud Poker, to the traditional Online Slot Progressive Jackpot games.
