Man Wins Astounding $3.2 Million Jackpot at Great Canadian’s Casino Woodbine

Marcelo Loyola, a valued member of Great Canadian Rewards, attributes his incredible $3.2 million jackpot win at Casino Woodbine to his late girlfriend, who tragically passed away shortly after they celebrated his 50th birthday together.

As a solutions contractor based in Toronto, Loyola is now celebrating his newfound fortune after winning a massive progressive jackpot at Casino Woodbine. He fondly recalls how Casino Woodbine was a beloved entertainment spot for him and his girlfriend, with her enjoying the slots upstairs while he played the tables downstairs. Loyola believes that his girlfriend’s presence and luck were with him, leading to his extraordinary win.

After the passing of his girlfriend, Loyola visited the casino, feeling her spirit with him. Despite being a table games player, he decided to try his girlfriend’s favorite slot machine, mimicking her style of play by stopping the machine mid-spin to line up the three ‘Jackpot’ icons. To his amazement, it worked, and he saw ‘Jackpot, Jackpot, Jackpot’ flashing on the screen. Overcome with emotion, Loyola screamed and ran around, drawing a crowd of onlookers and casino staff who congratulated him.

Robert Katsavelos, the general manager of Casino Woodbine, expressed his excitement for Loyola’s win, considering the emotional circumstances. Katsavelos praised Loyola for sharing his incredible story with them.

Although Loyola is thrilled about his win, he deeply wishes his girlfriend could have been there to share it with him. He plans to use the winnings to buy a new home for his parents, visit his brother and family in British Columbia, and make some investments. Loyola wants to take care of his loved ones, just as he and his girlfriend took care of each other.

Casino Woodbine, owned and operated by Great Canadian Entertainment, will soon be transformed into a modern Vegas-style gaming resort with the upcoming opening of the CAD1 billion ($737.7 million) Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto in the summer.
