A gambler is planning a hunting trip after winning one of the biggest jackpots in the history of Delaware's casino industry.
Tracy Shepard, 68, collected a $410,835 prize after hitting the jackpot on a $1 Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.
The slot was part of a progressive game networked with machines at other Delaware casinos, pushing the MegaJackpot prize's value up into six-figure territory.
Mr Shepard said he plans to save most of his windfall, but would treat himself to a hunting trip and give some of the cash to his children.
Dover Downs was the scene of another big win in January, when a woman from North Carolina hit a jackpot worth $223,369 on a Hot Shot Progressive penny slot game.
Regulars at the casino will be hoping that a third major win of 2009 happens soon, as the progressive jackpot on a networked Ca$hola penny slot game Dover Downs is participating in recently climbed over the $4 million mark.
