Carinthian woman wins 341,931 euro Fort Knox jackpot at Casino Velden

Whitsun Sunday ended for a casino visitor with a record win in Austria's biggest slot machine jackpot.

A visit to the casino for a Carinthian woman and her friend was actually supposed to be just the end of a walk in sunny Velden. The two women could never have dreamt that this spontaneous idea would become the spectacular highlight of the Whitsun weekend.

The Carinthian woman tried her luck at Fort Knox, Austria's highest-paying slot machine jackpot. And soon afterwards, at 6.25 p.m., Fortuna was also to materialise - and how: The display on the machine showed that she had won the jackpot and the prize money of exactly 341,930.99 euros. Like all Fort Knox winners before her, the visitor was initially stunned with happiness. Once she had regained her composure, she began to look forward to realising plans such as a trip around the world with her husband.

The Carinthian woman's win is a new record on the Fort Knox machine. Never before since the introduction of Austria's highest-paying slot machine jackpot five years ago has there been a win of this size. The 90 Fort Knox machines offer Casinos Austria guests a unique slot gaming experience. They are linked together in the twelve casinos throughout Austria and are refilled with 200,000 euros after every jackpot win. The minimum bet is just 75 cents.
