NEWBURY PARK MAN TAKES HOME $265K BONUS SPIN BLACKJACK PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT

SANTA YNEZ, CA – June 26, 2024 – A Newbury Park man recently had an amazing Saturday night when he hit the Chumash Casino Resort’s Bonus Spin Blackjack progressive jackpot for $265,575.   

Just after 8 p.m. on June 15, the winner was playing on a special Bonus Spin Blackjack table and made a side wager to be eligible for a chance at the game’s progressive jackpot. He was dealt a Blackjack to activate the virtual Bonus Spin wheel, which landed on “Jackpot” to trigger the enormous payday. 

The Newbury Park man preferred to remain anonymous and was not available for comment. 

Bonus Spin Blackjack debuted in the Chumash Casino Resort table games pit in the spring of 2019. It offers a $5 side bet that rewards guests who are dealt a Blackjack (an ace with a 10 or face card) in their first two cards. The Blackjack winner then presses a button and watches a virtual wheel spin until it lands on one of 12 cash prizes, ranging from $40 to the progressive jackpot. 

The resort has three of these special tables in its table games pit, and all are linked to the growing grand prize. The progressive jackpot had been building since it last hit for $225,091 in February 2023. A year earlier in February 2022, a guest won this special Blackjack jackpot for $415,666.  

The Chumash Casino Resort also holds weekly and larger, themed giveaways throughout the year. Looking forward, the Chumash Casino Resort has its sights set on its next themed giveaway, which will be called “Accelerate Your Escape,” featuring a chance to win one of two Chevy Corvette Stingrays, along with drawings for a portion of $50,000 in Slot Free Play. The “Accelerate Your Escape” grand-prize drawing will be held at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. For more details, visit THE CLUB at Chumash or log on to www.chumashcasino.com/accelerate-your-escape.
