Sky River Casino in Elk Grove just logged a milestone moment in its young history, after a guest hit the property’s biggest BSX Triple Diamond progressive jackpot on Wednesday and walked out with exactly $700,503.60. Casino officials said the winner, who has not been publicly identified, collected the payout right on the casino floor, turning an ordinary visit into the kind of story gamblers trade for years.
How the jackpot hit
The winning score came on the BSX Triple Diamond progressive, a multi-table side-bet setup that links wagers across different games so the prize pool can balloon quickly, according to PlayAGS. Sky River told FOX40 the final tally came to $700,503.60, and confirmed it is the largest Triple Diamond progressive payout in the casino’s short history.
Not the only big winner lately
The seven-hundred-thousand dollar hit is just the latest in a streak of eye-popping payouts at Sky River. Earlier this year, a Modesto player turned a $40 spin into a $552,460 jackpot in January, and Boyd Gaming’s press materials highlight multiple six-figure table and slot wins from last year. Boyd Gaming notes that the steady run of big checks has become a key part of the property’s public persona as it tries to stand out in a crowded casino market.
Expansion keeps pace with payouts
Behind the scenes, Sky River is in the middle of a physical growth spurt too. Current upgrades include electrical work and a new parking structure, and near-term plans call for 312 additional slot machines, which would bring the floor to roughly 2,500 machines as part of a phased build-out. CDC Gaming Reports notes the parking garage and valet improvements are targeted for early 2026, with a full resort expansion, including a hotel, spa, and event space, expected to follow later.
Responsible play
For all the splashy jackpots, Sky River emphasizes that its games are for guests 21 and over and points players toward help if gambling stops being fun. The casino’s public pages carry standard responsible-gaming notices along with helpline information. For more on the property and its community updates, see Sky River Casino's newsroom.
