Darrell W. of Indio, California became the first person to win a TableMAX progressive jackpot at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino this past weekend. Darrell was playing one of the newly installed Caribbean Stud Poker TableMAX electronic table games when he hit progressive jackpot.

The TableMAX table games are located on the casino floor and players are able to play regular table games like Caribbean Stud Poker while also having the option to place a side bet that is connected to a progressive jackpot.

Darrell had been playing the TableMAX game since December 3rd on a regular basis and by the 7th he was a big winner. Darrell took the side bet and was dealt a Royal Flush and won the pot of $25,260. Darrell also holds a Club Fantasy Card which was inserted in the machine as he was playing. Points are awarded to card holders as they play so Darrell must have racked up a good number of points.

After each win the progressive jackpot is returned to $25,000 where it will continue to grow until it is hit again.
