Slot Winnings; Most you have won or seen won in Vegas

Seems the big slot wins are not posted or nobody sees anyone win big? In the past twenty years, when I see a decent win on slots, usually occurs at off strip casino or in another state. Understand the percentages of payback are better off strip, I find it odd that you hear of VERY few 5k plus wins at strip casinos vs. the amount of people that go there. Someones got to win sometime, guess they are all just keeping it quiet???





Whats the biggest you have won or seen won at Vegas Strip casino?







Slot Winnings; Most you have won or seen won in Vegas


I saw a trucker hit the million dollar babies at Caesers. I think it was 1996 or 97. His picture was on the video screen out front in less than an hour. I was playing the same slots about 2 machines down.....he hit it with less than $40 in!!!!

I have never won a penny on slots - I%26#39;ve never bet one either. I am frugally conservative and will never play slots for that reason.



There are plenty of slot wins over 5K everywhere - it%26#39;s random. Most casinos post pictures of recent winners with amounts.



Many big wins are advertised.



no explanation for why you don%26#39;t know about them




When we were there last December, I hit for $1035.00 on a Blazing 7%26#39;s penny slot at the Rio...but I was playing max bet at $1.80 a spin.





The largest amount that I saw was not in Vegas but in Atlantic City. A little old man, had to be in his late 80%26#39;s hit $12,000.00 on a quarter machine. Boy did the attendant paying him make a fuss while counting the money out to him. He wanted everyone around to know that someone hit big. The man was as calm as could be. Wasn%26#39;t even smiling! I would have been jumpin up and down like a fool!




I saw a girl hit a progressive at Foxwoods. I was sitting right behind her. $189,776. It was a Betty Boop quarter machine. 3 coin max bet. Within seconds after she hit, the entire casino was flooded with cameras and personnel. She didn%26#39;t even realize what she won. She only had less than $20 into the machine.



The ';jackpot'; lights were flashing, and everyone was screaming.



It was quite exciting.




I don%26#39;t know how much the guy won, but my husband and I were standing in the taxi line outside Luxor when a commotion began stirring next to us. Guys in suits ran out, talking constantly on their walkie-talkies, then a limo pulled up, and a trolley was rolled out with champagne and other foods which were loaded into the limo. Then, the guy, ushered by many Luxor big wigs, came out and was sent on his way for a drive up the strip. (A victory lap, I guess) They were asking him if there was anything else he desired, or anything else they could do for him. We heard after he pulled away that he%26#39;d hit millions on a .25 slot machine.



I personally have not been fortunate enough to experience a great win, but there%26#39;s always next time, right ;)




Strangest thing I ever saw was a woman playing near our group at the Venetian one night - she hit 3 - $1000 spins in about an hour all on different machines - one of whichh I had just vacated !





Other than that saw another gal hit for $2000 at the Venetian and nd someone hit for $4000 I think.





Had a guy hit a Royal next to me at VP. Bummed me out actually that it was not me !






Most I have won on slot pay is a couple of $1000 wins on WOF machines. In 2004 saw a women hit the WOF jackpot for 1.9 million dollars. She was playing about 10 feet away from me.




someone rub some luck on me... wow! that would be so much fun to win like that...





My ex-bf was playing at the Venetian WOF machines and won 20k... but that was before I met him.. he was always lucky in vegas...




I%26#39;ve hit many $1000 jackpots and probably 6 or so $1000-$1800. Biggest for me was last year at Wynn on a Quarter progressive - $3086. My husband hit $5400 at Harrahs New Orleans. It can happen! :-)




Did you want proof that I am an idiot?





When I was oh so much younger, went on a girlfriend weekend to LV. We visited the then newly opened Hard Rock. My friends and I were playing .25 slots. I put in 3 quarters and it hit. Got something like $600 or so. A bit drunk and laughing, I took 3 more quarters and put it in the machine right next to it and it hit for another $600 or so. Strangely at that moment David Schwimmer walked by and smiled at me (those were the days when Friends was really big). I%26#39;ve never quite figured the it all thing out. Very surreal. Clearly its rigged; I just wish I%26#39;d have max bet on the second machine (dope slap!) I stopped gambling right then and there, but I still have fun in LV.
