Biggest Slot Wins in History
Tuesday, September 1, 2020
It’s probably safe to say that the majority of regular slots players dream about when and if the day comes where they hit the jackpot on the best bonus slots and cash in on millions, jet off to the Caribbean and start a new life drinking cocktails on the beach every day.
How often that actually happens is, well, maybe not as often as we would like, but the possibility of it is what drives some of us to keep on playing. That isn’t to say that the game is serving that whole purpose, it’s just a side-thought when playing, but sometimes the winnings can be absolutely crazy. So, we’re looking at the biggest slot wins in history, both in the physical and virtual domains.
Biggest Slot Machine Wins
The biggest slot machine wins in history across both the real world and virtual slot domains come from the Megabucks machines in Las Vegas. These guys are the most highly volatile slot machines in the world, so not for the faint of heart! There are 700 Megabucks machines across various casinos in Las Vegas so if you ever find yourself in that part of the world they could be worth a try…
The biggest recorded pay out from one of these machines was an eye-watering $39.7million, won back in 2003 by a software engineer from Los Angeles at the casino Excalibur. This was paid to him in instalments annually over a 25 year period with payments of roughly $1.5million, so it’s safe to say he was pretty set for life. This was from a $100 spin so risky business, however it has also been reported that the casino Caesar’s Palace once paid out a massive $22million from a spin of a much more humble $10.
A slightly more heartbreaking tale is that of a Katrina Bookman, playing slots at the Resort World Casino in New York. She was told that she had won a grandiose $42.9million which would of course have been the biggest win of all time, but it turned out to be a malfunction of the machine and should have read a more humbling $6500. While we wouldn’t say no to that amount of money, it must have been a real shock to the system to have that money come and go so quickly. Unlucky, Katrina…
Biggest Online Slots Wins
It’s widely reported that the single biggest online slot win was from a progressive jackpot in the hit slot Mega Fortune. This truly was a mega fortune, as the payout came in to the tune of a whopping €17.8million. Elsewhere, in the UK a Mr Jon Heywood won an enormous £13.2million on the Mega Moolah slot. Mega moolah indeed…
After-Thoughts on the Biggest Slot Wins in History
It seems to be the case that there is unbelievable money to be made out in Las Vegas but that’s quite a distance away, so in the meantime we think we’ll have a go at Mega Fortune and Mega Moolah and see what happens…
