Gambler breaks Nevada casino jackpot record with $5 bet
One lucky player walked away with millions of dollars in his pocket from a $5 bet on a slot machine in Nevada. The tourist won the jackpot when playing Megabucks Spitfire Multipliers Red Hot 7s at the Virgin River Casino & Lodge in Mesquite. The out-of-towner won over $12 million, $12,371,364.88 to be precise.
Who won the life-changing jackpot?This made it the casino’s record win, with the player asking to remain anonymous. Mesquite is 80 miles Northeast of Las Vegas. The amount won puts other successes to shame. An individual won $16,000 from a $1 bet on a Phoenix Link slot machine at the Aliante Hotel Casino Spa.
