SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - December 21, 2010) - "A kiss on the hand may be quite continental," but a nearly $600,000 jackpot is a girl's best friend. Club Barona member Maria S. from Carlsbad recently hit the biggest jackpot of the season at Barona Resort & Casino while playing the $1 Marilyn Monroe™ slot machine. Manufactured by IGT, one of the world's leading slot machine makers, the exciting game recalls the glamorous allure of one of Tinseltown's most enduring screen legends.
"At Barona, we celebrate jackpots every day all day long but this one is especially exciting because it is the largest jackpot to hit this holiday season," said Rick Salinas, general manager of Barona Resort & Casino. "That's a pretty incredible Christmas present for our big winner!"
With the help of the Barona Loose Troop™, many of Barona's slots have been certified by the manufacturer that their machines are set as loose as they can be and guaranteed not to be looser anywhere else through the Manufacturer's Best Payouts program.
