Several people visiting Pennsylvania casinos won life-changing amounts of money during the month of August. Some casinos reported players winning six-figure jackpots, which can certainly change the energy on the gaming floor.
As the unofficial last month of summer has come to an end, a few PA casino players are heading into the fall with some extra cash. (And this isn’t even counting the many top PA online casino jackpots cashed in August, as well.)
Live! Casino Philadelphia awards multiple jackpots over $100,000

On Aug. 28, two guests won six-figure jackpots, as well:

Janine de Blois, Director of Slots & Guest Services at Live! Casino Philadelphia, told PlayPennsylvania:
“The excitement continued throughout the month with three guests winning six figure jackpots—two on the same day.
