On Saturday, March 12, Michael Washam from Plano, Texas, won $1,185,286 while
playing an Indiana Jones 3-D MegaJackpot® penny slot machine, made by

Oklahoma.
The slot machine played by Washam is considered a "Wide-Area Progressive," which
is an electronically linked gaming machine, offering large, progressive jackpots
to customers in many gaming venues, simultaneously. Choctaw Casino Resort is one

action of previous Indiana Jones branded machines with 3-dimensional reels for
even more aesthetic gaming pleasure. In addition, there is a 20-stop bonus wheel
that multiplies pay-outs. Bets are made in penny, two cent and 5 cent
denominations with a maximum bet of 40 credits ($2.00).
"We are thrilled to be a part of such a life-changing event for Mr. Washam,"
said Tammye Gwin, senior director of gaming. "Mr. Washam was very surprised and
elated to have won such a huge jackpot. He's part of an elite group that came in
for fun and excitement and left a millionaire," said Ms. Gwin.
