At Casino Bregenz, having an international clientele and being neighbourly are not mutually conclusive. The casino on Lake Constance has always been very popular with guests from Germany and Switzerland. Not least because huge winnings keep finding their way to one of the neighbouring countries over and over again – as was the case last Tuesday evening.
A visitor from Switzerland frequented Casino Bregenz for the first time yesterday. Her big moment came in the early evening hours when the display of the Fort Knox machine on which she was trying a game suddenly lit up with the big prize, to the tune of 214,259.03 euros. Beaming with joy, the winner – who was close to retirement – announced that she would use some of the money to take a nice holiday. Next, she wants to share the winnings with her children, whom she would like to bring along next time. Her first visit to Casino Bregenz will certainly not be her last.
Yesterday’s top prize is already the third in a month at Austria’s highest-paying slot jackpot machine, the Fort Knox Jackpot. The popular Fort Knox machines, of which 90 are in operation, offer Casinos Austria’s guests a unique slot gaming experience. They are connected to each other in twelve casinos throughout Austria and are restocked with 200,000 euros after each jackpot win. No other Fort Knox machine in the world offers such a high prize payout; the minimum stake is a mere 75 cents.
