Jose Lopez of Lynnwood, Wash. won $2,369,748.95 on the slot. He took a chance after his girlfriend, who was with him on the casino floor, encouraged him to take a spin, according to KCPQ<\/em>, a Seattle TV station.<\/p>\n

Lopez previously won $20,000 at the casino. He frequently plays there, the report said. Sunday\u2019s jackpot was won on a Golden Charms slot machine. The casino did not reveal how much the spin cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prior record jackpot in the state was also won on a Tulalip Resort Casino\u2019s Golden Charms slot, the report said. It paid out $1.1 million in February 2020, KCPQ <\/em>adds.<\/p>\n

The Golden Charms has a 50-payline setup. That provides players \u201cample winning possibilities,\u201d according to KCPQ<\/em>, quoting the casino. The casino has more than 2,400 slot machines.<\/p>\n

Online Congratulations Offered<\/h2>\n

News of the record win led to 425 comments getting posted as of early Tuesday on Tulalip Resort Casino\u2019s Facebook page. Most posters offered their congratulations.<\/p>\n

A woman who identified herself as Linda Fall, who is a self-described frequent visitor to the casino, posted:<\/p>\n

Congratulations, dude !! I LOVE TULALIP CASINO !! I have won more jackpots there than any other casinos I’ve played at.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other posters wish it was them who won the jackpot. Mike Surdyk, for example, said he was \u201c20ft away when this happened, so nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murder Charge Dropped<\/h2>\n

The Tulalip Resort Casino was in the news in recent years because of October 2020 injuries in a parking lot. They led to a woman\u2019s death. The man charged with murder was set free after a charge was dropped earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Nomeneta Tauave<\/a>, now 34, of Spanaway, Wash., was arrested for second-degree murder for the incident. His former girlfriend, Hana Letoi, 35, of Tacoma, Wash., passed away after the injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
