Yet another Smoke Signals jackpot has been handed out at the Northern Lights Casino.
The Thursday win of $1.2 million marks the fifth time someone has joined the “millionaire’s club” at the Prince Albert casino.
The winner is a Prince Albert woman, but beyond that her identity will remain undisclosed, said Northern Lights Casino General Manager Richard Ahenakew.
He said the decision on maintaining anonymity is made on a case-by-case basis, but this is a rare circumstance that has not happened in the past.
In all other Smoke Signals wins, there has been a news conference or photo opportunity involving the winner.
In a news release, Ahenewakew was quoted as saying “we’re very proud to have now handed over more than seven million dollars to patrons at our casino.”
Smoke Signals is a SIGA-wide progressive slot machine that starts at $1 million and maxes out at $2 million.
In total, the progressive Smoke Signals jackpot has paid out nearly $10 million, turning seven different people into millionaires.
