“This extraordinary jackpot is a thrilling reminder of the excitement our guests experience every day,” said Kari Stout-Smith, general manager and COO of Cache Creek Casino Resort.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
