One lucky slot player huffed and puffed all the way to the bank.
We don't know the person's name, but we do know they are from Sacramento, and the local recently hit it big at Sky River Casino, winning a whopping $424,365.91.
The casino posted a picture of the winning machine with an oversized check on its Facebook Page.
It was a life-changing moment for the lucky winner, who scored the jackpot on the popular "Huff N’ Even More Puff" slot machine. This exciting win left everyone at the casino thrilled, especially Michael J. Facenda, the casino's president.
“This is the kind of electrifying moment we love to see at Sky River,” said Facenda, highlighting the joy these big wins bring to the casino guests.
It was about as exciting when multiple jackpots hit just days apart at Sky River Casino. There's also the Huff N More Puff version of the game you can play.
Slot Jackpot Win Came on Third Try
The slot machine jackpot winner had a little extra magic on their side.
It was their third try at the slot machines that day. After playing on two different machines earlier, they hit the jackpot in about 30 minutes. Ironically, the winner had just joined the Sky River Rewards program.
September proved to be a lucky month for others at Sky River Casino too. Two guests won over $100,000 each playing Pai Gow, and another winner took home $192,000 with the Triple Diamond Progressive in Double Up Blackjack.
A Closer Look at the "Huff N’ Even More Puff" Slot Game
"Huff N’ Even More Puff" is an exciting slot machine game by Light & Wonder, released in June 2025. It’s part of the "Huff N’ Puff" series based on the Three Little Pigs story.
Some of the game's features that players seem to like the most include:
Golden Buzzsaw: This special tool helps players build houses quickly during free spins, increasing the chances of winning big.
Sticky Free Spins / Hat Feature: If you get six or more hat symbols, you win six free spins. When hats land on the same spot, they upgrade house frames from straw to stick to brick. Brick houses give the biggest prizes and jackpots!
Bonus Wheel and Super Wheel: There’s a chance to spin a "Super Wheel" for even bigger jackpots, including one that can be worth up to 1.5 million credits.
The game offers five jackpot prizes: Mini ($10), Minor ($50), and three progressively increasing ones: Major ($1,000), Grand ($7,500), and Super (up to $3 million). It's part of the reason this game is such a hit at many big casinos and online platforms.
It’s available on sites like DraftKings Casino and FanDuel Casino.
You can also find it in places like Barona Resort & Casino and Sky River Casino, where it’s linked to big progressive jackpots.
