Gambler bets 88 cents on slot machine — then hits jackpot at Las Vegas casino
A gambler walked away from a Las Vegas casino with a jackpot prize after betting some change.
The player sat at a Money Gong slot machine at the Durango Casino & Resort, the casino said in a May 11 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The visitor bet 88 cents, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen until a jackpot message appeared.
“Congrats to the lucky guest that just turned .88 into a $15,312.57 win on Money Gong,” the casino wrote on X.
The Durango Casino & Resort is about a 10-mile drive southwest from the Las Vegas Strip.
Other gamblers also have won big prizes at Vegas casinos recently.
One player bet $25 on a Dragon Link slot machine at Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel and won more than $16,000.
Another gambler won more than $20,000 at Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall off a Pinball Double Gold slot game.
