This week, a regular player at Jupiters Townsville Casino has won a hugely generous jackpot worth $500 000. Even though the jackpot has just been hit, it is due to pay out again as the prize has already reach $450 000! Few details have been released about the winner. All we know is that she was playing the Golden Dollars progressive jackpot game and that she is a regular player at the Townsville Casino.

Since the winner could not be reached for comment, Will Keiler of Jupiters has made a statement: “I'm very pleased that it’s gone to one of our local members, that way it stays in our community, it's not somebody who has come through on a quick visit and taken the money out of Townsville”. Every progressive jackpot has a reset amount. So, after the grand prize is won, it resets to a particular amount.

For Golden Dollars, the reset amount is $100 000, so there is usually a significant amount of time between each win. This time, however, that will not be the case. The progressive jackpot had reached its maximum a long time ago, but players were not cashing in on the jackpot. As such, the game’s reserves continued to build up while the $500 000 grand prize progressive jackpot was on offer.

Now, that the half-million dollar prize has been won, the reserves have been kicked into action, and the next jackpot is expected to be hit very shortly. You can certainly expect the Golden Dollars jackpot slots game to get a lot of attention in the near future.

Players will flock to the game for their chance to cash in on a generous jackpot, especially in the knowledge that there is a very likely chance that the maximum jackpot will pay out again very soon.
