The fascination of Vegas has spread throughout the world carried by the online and offline casinos. People get enchanted with the idea of big wins, and big wins are exactly what happened to these lucky ten people. But money is not everything that matters. Some of the real stories out there are simply unbelievable, nothing less than Hollywood movie scenarios.
- The guy from Stockholm
Just before Christmas in 2013, a lucky 26-year-old Swede won a jackpot of more than 4 million Euro at the Unibet Online Casino. He was playing a slot game called The Arabian Nights. This must be the best Christmas gift ever.
- Rolling 154 dice in a row
You probably heard that the probability of rolling a certain figure on a die is one in six. You have one in six chances to roll the exact thing you bet on. The probability of rolling two consecutive numbers that you want to roll is one in thirty-six. Patricia Demauro rolled 154 numbers in a row at Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa and her luck lasted for 4 hours and almost 20 minutes.
- The Wheel of Fortune jackpot
Some lucky guy won no less than 4,526,288 dollars at the 1 cent Wheel of Fortune Video Slot at the Caesars Palace Casino. This was the largest Wheel of Fortune jackpot that was won during 2014. The Wheel of Fortune works by spinning a combination after the players have chipped in their bets.
- The Brit who bet his clothes
It’s true that this guy was a professional gambler, but… his clothes! In 2004, Ashley Revell sold everything he had, including his clothes, and gambled about 135,000 on a roulette spin in Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The wheel stopped on red and doubled his money.
- The 5.8 million pound jackpot
This jackpot was won in December 2012 at the Microgaming Butler Casino by another Brit. He was playing online the slot game called The Dark Knight for a few years before Fortuned smiled to him.
- The Vegas millionaire
A babysitter named Jessica Agbunag decided to take a trip to Vegas in 2008, fascinated by the siren song of the city. She played for a few days and won small jackpots, but the Wheel of Fortune rewarded her last 16 dollar bet with a mega jackpot of 2.4 million dollars.
- The machine whisperer
Alright, I’ll admit that this guy made it into the list due to his daring act. In 1995, an American won 100,000 dollars against odds of one million to one in Atlantic City. The city laws required jackpots this big to be checked and the check proved that the winner was a brilliant engineer who used his mastermind skills to best the machine he was supposed to test. He was not allowed to keep the prize, but his ingenuity is admirable even if he used it to cheat.
- The online Swede
This time, the winner was a Swedish lady. In 2012, she played at the Unibet Online Casino a slot game called the Hall of Gods. The Gods apparently found her worthy and she won a whopping 7.6 million Euro. She used the money to pay off her debts and she was the fifth player since 2009 to have been appointed in the millionaires club of the casino.
- The Guinness Record
The largest jackpot ever was won by an anonymous Finnish online player on 20th of January 2013 and the amount was of 22,974,400 dollars. The lucky guy or gal won this by playing a game called Mega Fortune, and, in this case, the name is not an exaggeration.
- The sweet kid
The cutest jackpot was won by an 8-year-old kid playing online poker in a tournament in 2010. His player name was ‘littlepokerwizard’. This kid looks to have a bright future ahead of him!
