7’s are the key and one lucky guest amassed
3 of them, all in diamonds, in the fun Progressive Blackjack game called, “Blazing 7’s Blackjack,” to take home $795,000! The jackpot was won this past Saturday evening at a Blazing 7’s table near Sunburst Bar at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
Blazing 7’s Blackjack is a fun twist on the classic game where a progressive jackpot will keep tallying until a player hits it big. To begin each round, players make a standard bet and the Blazing 7’s progressive bet. To win, a player must get a 7 within one of their first two cards, and the payouts increase further if the dealer’s up card is also a 7. Three 7’s all in diamonds is the best hand to get, as it wins 100% of the progressive jackpot. Other ways to win include three 7’s in the same suit & a player’s first two cards being 7’s.
Mohegan Sun Pocono has one of the most exciting casino floors in the Northeast, with more than 1,900 slot machines and more than 60 table games, including poker. To learn more and for updates on all of the gaming promotions at Mohegan Sun Pocono, visit Mohegansunpocono.com.
