ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - Sky River Casino is celebrating two major jackpot wins totaling more than $580,000, highlighting the excitement and winning moments happening on the casino floor.

On March 29, a Sky River Rewards member from Sacramento struck it big, winning $366,545.33 while playing Ultimate Fire Link (UFL) Triple Nova: Desert Nights Big Money Edition, a popular game from global gaming and entertainment company Light & Wonder.

The life‑changing win came from a $0.02 denomination with a $4.50 bet, triggered by a random Big Money Fire Link ball drop, turning a single spin into a six‑figure payout.

In a separate win on March 31, another Sky River Rewards member from Stockton won $216,895.80 while playing Midi Baccarat powered by AGS’ Bonus Spin Xtreme® Red Dragon™ Triple Diamond Progressive.

The guest had been playing at the table for approximately 15 minutes when the progressive jackpot hit, showcasing how quickly big wins can happen across Sky River’s diverse gaming offerings. So far in 2026, the casino has awarded more than $2.7 million in cumulative table game jackpot payouts, reinforcing its reputation as a premier destination for major wins.

“Wins of this magnitude are the result of strong game design paired with a property that knows how to showcase it,” said AGS Senior Vice President and General Manager of Tables John Hemberger. “Seeing our progressive games deliver that kind of excitement at Sky River reinforces why innovation and entertaining math models matter on the casino floor.”

For Sky River, wins like these are driven by more than chance; they’re the result of a broader focus on delivering excitement at every touchpoint.

“These are exactly the kind of moments that remind us why people love coming to Sky River,” said President and General Manager of Sky River Casino Michael J. Facenda. “With our new parking garage officially open, guests enjoy direct access to our expanded gaming floor, featuring 2,500 slot machines. And with a full resort destination on the horizon, we’re continuing our journey toward becoming Northern California’s best casino resort.”

Sky River continues its long‑term growth with plans underway in 2027 for a future hotel resort, further enhancing the resort experience for guests visiting Elk Grove and the greater Sacramento region.
