Casino wins of hundreds of thousands of pounds are not completely uncommon nowadays, despite the fact that it might seem like a lot of money to the average person! But some casino wins are simply too high to comprehend, and come about once in a lifetime for some very lucky players. Along with the growing online casino industry, there has come a greater interest in all topics gambling-related, and here are some of the biggest casino wins to make you stare with amazement – and you might be surprised that it’s not always the high-rollers that win big!
• At the age of 92, Elmer Sherwin won a huge $21m on the Megabucks slots, 16 years after having won $4.6m on the same game! He received his winnings in instalments – as I’m sure the casino wasn’t too keen on paying out that lump sum in one go! He also very kindly donated all of his winnings to the Hurricane Katrina fund, as his first jackpot had allowed him to do what he wanted and travel the world.
• Another big winner was Amy Nishimura from Hawaii, who won the $8.9m jackpot on Megabucks, having gambled only $100. The Megabucks game is so popular because it networks over 150 casinos across Nevada; and more players equals higher payouts!
• The largest ever jackpot win was $39.7m and was won by a 25-year-old man in Vegas, who gambled just $100 to win this amazing payout. He was only in town for a basketball tournament, and decided to try his hand at some of the games. He walked away with $1.5m per year for the next 25 years.
These people were not excessive gamblers or expert poker players, but regular members of the public who just struck lucky. This proves that anyone can win in Vegas if lady luck is on their side!
Some other big wins have actually been paid out by an online casino. The Millionaire’s Club, a progressive jackpot casino, has paid out $2m, $3m and $4m to lucky winners over the years.
