The COVID-19 pandemic is still here with us and most land-based casinos have already shut down their businesses. In Pennsylvania, efforts to contain the spread of the virus have become quite aggressive with calls for the shutdown of most social spaces including the casinos. Now, gamers have had to stay at home and this has led to the massive growth in the number of online gamblers across the state.

The sector has been on the rise for quite some time and already some of the people who are indulging in some online activities are beginning to reap the fruits of it. Self-quarantine, as it turns out, is not so bad after all and a lucky man from Lititz Pennsylvania can attest to this.

Over the weekend, the lucky player managed to hit the jackpot for a $278,430.23 win on the renowned NetEnt Divine Fortune slot. Needless to say, everyone who loves to play online slots will certainly be aware of this game. It has been one of the fastest growing online casino titles in the Keystone State since online gambling launched in the state last summer.

More Winners

Andrew, the winner of the huge jackpot prize whose online casino of choice is PlaySugarHouse.com only staked $1. This is certainly life-changing. However, as it turns out, he was not the only one who has been making great use of their time amid the self-isolation period. Players in other states have also been spinning the reels and landing some of the prizes. One of the most notable instances was in New Jersey where a lucky player walked away with $278,802.58 playing the popular casino game.

Naturally, PlaySugarHouse.com’s owner Rush Street Interactive is very proud of being able to offer quality time to Pennsylvanian gamers through this difficult time.

“During this very difficult and unprecedented period of time, while most are staying home, it’s nice that we can provide another outlet for entertainment and a chance to win life-changing jackpots.”

The company has reported massive surges in online casino play and it intends to make the most of it by giving the players access to the best gaming experiences. As such, there is no better time than now to catch up on a bit of gaming as you isolate yourself. There are tons of great online gaming options both in the Keystone State as well as in several other parts of the country. It is the best way to stay safe and stay happy.
