Arrr, matey—pirate’s luck was sailing strong at Sky River Casino this January!
A thrilled player from Modesto turned a casual $40 bet into an eye-popping $552,460 progressive jackpot on Saturday, January 17, 2026, while spinning the reels on the swashbuckling Dollar Storm Mega Grand Link slot machine.

Sky River Casino President Michael J. Facenda was beaming:
“Pirate’s luck was with a fortunate guest this past weekend, and the excitement rippled through the casino when it hit. Massive jackpots like this have the power to change lives, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this latest big win!”

- Two lucky high-rollers each walked away with over $100,000 at the Pai Gow poker tables that same month.
- Another guest claimed a jaw-dropping $192,000 on the Triple Diamond Progressive in Double Up Blackjack.
