A Stockton player hit a $130,812 progressive slot machine jackpot on a $2 bet at Sky River Casino in Elk Grove.<\/p>\n

The win came Saturday on a 2-cent Dollar Storm Mega Grand Link Buccaneer slot machine game, the casino said.<\/p>\n

The jackpot came just days after a Lodi player won a nearly $600,000 jackpot on the same game.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see another six-figure jackpot awarded just days after this same game produced a Mega Grand jackpot is phenomenal,\u201d said Michael J. Facenda, president and general manager of Sky River Casino. \u201cSince the start of 2026, we have awarded more than $190 million in cumulative slot machine payouts, and we look forward to celebrating many more winning moments with our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

The casino, which opened in 2022, spans 100,000 square feet with more than 2,500 slot machines and more than 80 table games. It has 18 restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

Owned by the Wilton Rancheria in partnership with Boyd Gaming Corporation, the casino is located at 1 Sky River Parkway in Elk Grove, about a 15-mile drive southeast from downtown Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700<\/a> or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.<\/a><\/p>\n
