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.
Number 9, Number 9
James Stowe won over $991,000 hitting the dollar Wheel of Fortune.
His stated strategy was “the person before me had played a lot of money and I knew it was going to hit."
"Everyone is friendly and it feels like home" is the way he feels about the Grand Casino Coushatta in Kinder, LA where this retiree from Alvin, TX hit the MegaJackpot.
This double winner was feeling lucky after winning $1000 on another machine and only investing $9 before the huge Wheel of Fortune hit.
Stowe plans to invest his winnings and says, "his win may not change his life, but it will make retirement even better than it already is."
A Truckload of Yen
Hideki Isimoto, a trading company rep did not understand how much he had won until it was translated into yen. Hideki, a Japanese visitor at Luxor Hotel & Casino, said he played the quarter Wheel of Fortune machine on impulse and was fortunate enough to hit the MegaJackpot progressive for $876,842.
After the translation, he said, "I had no idea that it was so much money. I'm still in shock!"
And She Said
Blue Water Resort and Casino in Parker, AZ was the place for Larry Jackson who won $750,455 on a one-dollar Wheel of Fortune. Jackson, a retiree from Lake Havasu City, Arizona, had taken a day trip to the casino to play his favorite machines.
When asked about his plans, Jackson stated, "that will be up to the wife."
Million $ Entry
James Bish of Loveland, Ohio, became an instant millionaire by playing the Rags to Riches Millionaire Giveaway at Indiana's Grand Victoria Casino.
Players Advantage Club members had a chance to collect entries for the giveaway which spanned a period of two months. James wound up the lucky winner, although all were guaranteed to win at least $2000.
When asked about his big win, James said, "I really don't know how I feel because I don't know what a million dollars is.” He plans to have his two children manage the money for him.
The Wheel and a Tax Refund
Cindy L. Wells of Bethalto, Illinois didn't waste any time taking her tax refund to the casino that in turn produced a $1,451,299 Wheel of Fortune win.
An available machine at Fitzgerald's Casino in Robinsonville, MS caught her eye and gave her what she thought was a $1,000, or possibly $14,000 jackpot before a casino employee corrected that to a top jackpot score.
Wells said she plans to pay off her house and car, and buy her son a new truck. "It will ease the load and we will not want for anything."
