A Washington gambler turned a $15 bet into hundreds of thousands of dollars over the weekend at an Auburn casino.

The player placed the bet on the Attack from the Planet Moolah slot machine and turned the small wager into a $410,631 payout, the Muckleshoot Casino Resort posted on Facebook.

“An out-of-this-world jackpot!” Muckleshoot wrote. “That’s one massive payday worth celebrating!”

The Muckleshoot Casino Resort is located at 2402 Auburn Way S in Auburn, offering more than 3,400 gaming machines and more than 60 table games such as Texas Hold’em. The resort includes a 401-room hotel and the labcəbut spa.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay to open new location in Muckleshoot Casino

Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay, a nationwide burger chain co-founded by renowned chef Bobby Flay, announced late last year that its first Washington location will come to the Muckleshoot Casino Resort.

The burger chain’s 11th location will be inside the casino that welcomes more than 25,000 guests each week and operates 24/7.

“We’re proud to bring Bobby’s Burgers to Muckleshoot,” Tim Perkins, CEO of Muckleshoot Casino Resort, previously said. “This partnership underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering the very best in guest experiences. Bobby Flay’s curated menu of top-quality burgers and unmatched flavor further enhances Muckleshoot’s standing as one of Washington’s premier destinations for dining and entertainment.”

Bobby’s Burgers is continuing its goal of national expansion by debuting the brand farther west than ever before, bringing its award-winning franchise to Muckleshoot’s expansive 157,000 square-foot casino floor and 18-story, 401-room luxury hotel and spa.

The franchise is currently located inside several entertainment venues across the U.S., including Harrah’s Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and New Orleans, and Yankee Stadium.

“Opening inside Muckleshoot Casino Resort is an exciting move in our expansion across North America and beyond,” Bobby Flay, co-founder and namesake of Bobby’s Burgers, said. “We can’t wait for guests in Washington to get Crunchified.”

Guests of the resort can expect Flay’s signature culinary style, which pairs bold flavors with high-quality ingredients, all encapsulated in an innovative menu that’s “both elevated and approachable.”
