A Rio Vista man hit a $111,552 jackpot on a $1 bet on a “Spooky Link Grand” slot machine at Sky River Casino in Elk Grove on June 18. The winner told casino officials that he and his girlfriend were playing the 1-cent machine when he looked at the potential payout and said, “Oh man, that’d be sweet to win that,” and immediately hit the jackpot. He plans to split the winnings with his girlfriend and use his share to help pay off a 22-foot Flagstaff camper he purchased the day before. Sky River Casino, owned by the Wilton Rancheria in partnership with Boyd Gaming Corporation, opened in 2022 and features over 2,500 slot machines and 80 table games. The casino is located at 1 Sky River Parkway, about a 15-mile drive southeast from downtown Sacramento. Michael J. Facenda, the casino's president and general manager, praised the win as a memorable story about the people and moments behind it.
