LAS VEGAS, Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Just one day
before a milestone birthday, Robert P. of Eden, N.Y. received the ultimate present
when he hit a giant $844,437
jackpot on global gaming entertainment leader IGT's (NYSE:
IGT) Jurassic Park™ Video Slots at Seneca Buffalo Creek
Casino in downtown Buffalo, N.Y.
on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Robert placed a $3 maximum bet on
the penny machine and landed five WILD symbols across the screen
for the top prize. The penny-denomination machine is one of only
two on Seneca Casino's gaming floor
and was added to their collection of more than 800 slots earlier
this year.
"When the machine hit, at first I thought I won a thousand
bucks," said the winner. "Then I saw $844,000 and thought the machine malfunctioned. I
still can't comprehend it. It's a life-changing amount of
money."
"What an incredible surprise birthday gift for one of our
guests," said Jennifer Caruso,
general manager, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino. "Robert's win just
goes to show that anyone can walk in a player, and walk out a
mind-boggling big winner. And in this case, this winner went home a
game-changing jackpot winner."
Robert said it was only the second time he played the
Jurassic Park™ Video Slots, and he has not decided how to
enjoy his winnings just yet, but said he will consult with his wife
to figure out a game plan.

About Jurassic Park
Since Universal Pictures
and Steven Spielberg's Amblin
Entertainment first joined forces to unleash an adventure over 65
million years in the making, Jurassic Park has become the
"premier" and "authentic" dinosaur brand the world over. When
Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it became an instant
phenomenon. In the years that followed, two additional films were
released – The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic
Park III – bringing the trilogy's worldwide box office total to
more than $2 billion. The franchise
continues to resonate with consumers worldwide via consumer
products, popular attractions at Universal Studios Theme Parks and
annual airings of the three films on a multitude of television
networks. The Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy, recently made
available on Blu-ray for the first time, showcases all three films
in high definition with 7.1 surround sound and hours of new bonus
features.
