“The night before my win I was down a little from some MTT's and just decided to see if I could win some of my buy-ins back.” “Normally I like the $5 bet range for slots if I choose to dabble,” Holmes told PokerNews. Stars Casino launched January 29 alongside fellow Flutter brands Fox Bet and PokerStars. He wound up hitting the $175,000 progressive jackpot to mark the state’s first reported big online jackpot in the regulated market. It was a memorable one as it came a day after he placed a $10 bet playing the Divine Fortune slot machine on Stars Casino.
Earlier this month, Michigan’s Brandon Holmes celebrated his 48th birthday.
