Power Prize Helps Rebuild Hurricane Katrina Victim

Richard Henderson lost parts of his past and future in Hurricane Katrina. Katrina destroyed both casinos, leave-taking Henderson jobless. After his promotion, Henderson signed an agreement to buy a house in New Orleans, but the hurricane delayed settlement, and when the rains clogged, his planned new digs were under 15 feet of water.

With no job forecast in the Gulf region, the company brought him to Atlantic City to become manager of table games at Harrah's and Showboat. Henderson kept his Gulfport residence while waiting to go into the new one. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has unveiled the Power Prize Jackpot and Players Card Bonus, paying out $129,799 in cash to one winner on the first weekend, and $31,375 in slot dollars to 691 other My Borgata customers.

The Power Prize Jackpot starts at $100,000 and must pay out before the jackpot reaches $150,000. Every time the jackpot hits, one client playing slots with their My Borgata card will be arbitrarily chosen to win.
