If you are looking for the true ‘dream makers’ in the casino, that award goes to the ever-increasing progressive jackpots.
These ‘life changing’ jackpots present the slot player with more choices both online and offline than ever before.
I have compiled some of these Winning Stories to brighten your dreams tonight.
A World Record.
A Santa Ana, CA. man celebrated his 7Oth birthday by winning the world’s largest 25-cent slot machine jackpot. Manuel Herrera was playing Wheel of Fortune quarters at the Flamingo in Laughlin, Nevada, when he won the $8.4 million jackpot. A retired restaurant worker, Herrera was visiting Laughlin on a bus tour when his $30 cash outlay made him a millionaire.
He said, “he was preparing to leave the casino but decided to play just a little longer.”
“The bank of machines was busy with players on both sides of him and he had a feeling about that particular machine.” As for the winnings, Herrera explained that he has 5 sons, 5 daughters, 45 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, so there’s no lack of places to spend his riches.
A Wedding Anniversary Turns To Gold:
While celebrating their 32nd anniversary in Lake Tahoe, JoAnn and Ron Ohm hit the Wheel’s quarters for $1,538,757. It took only fifteen minutes and $20 later for Ron, a truck driver, to jump up, started clapping and ask people to find his wife. Their plans were to head for home early to complete some work on their house. “Now you can afford to hire somebody to do the work” was JoAnn’s reply. “No way, I am not going to let this new-found wealth change me,” said Ron. However, their daughter’s student loans will be covered, they both agreed.
A Local Strikes It Rich:
Francisco Campos struck gold at the Isle of Capri, KC. After investing only $45. in a Wheel of Gold quarter progressive slot, Campos hit the $2,126,022. jackpot winning combination. The Kansas City resident already has big plans for his winnings. In addition to sharing his fortune with his family, Campos want to try his luck in the real estate industry.
Online Gambler Strikes Gold:
Records were broken last week when Lucky Nugget Online Casino player, Jim L., won a staggering $1,683,526.64 on the Major Millions Progressive Jackpot, the largest single jackpot ever won on the Internet.
Lucky winner Jim L., a trucking company expediter in Wisconsin, will receive his groundbreaking win in the form of a single cash payment and plans to put it to good use by moving to a farm, building a house and investing in property.
Holiday Lady and her Spouse Hit Again
Special holidays have been very, very good to Ms. Grandlick, known as the Holiday Lady, who had racked up seven $100,000 jackpots before or after several special holidays.
Her husband, Art was in the spotlight this time, though as he played at the Flamingo Hilton in Laughlin. His ‘take’ of a $120,000 jackpot for the winning combination on a $100 Double Jackpot slot was the largest non-progressive win in Laughlin history.
