What's your biggest slot win?

If there's 46 ways to lose 4 to a Royal and only 1 way to win, that means I could expect to see 4 to a Royal every 1,000 hands and be disappointed over 40 times.

Given 4 to a royal, it's 1 in 47 to hit, but I don't know the odds of being given 4 to a royal ... 20 hands out of however-many gazillions? But I wouldn't guess that I've been dealt 4 to a royal 47 times yet, at least I haven't kept count and it doesn't "feel" like it.

But yeah, it is a little disappointing to miss that hit!

I'm seeing results of 4 to a Royal no matter how many cards I've held, that's what I'm counting.

My biggest online slot win is ~46000 USD from ~90 USD bet

Congratulations drich
That reminds meany moons ago I used to work as a stock clerk in a grocery store. A competing grocery store on other side of town wD having their anniversary with a lot of drawings including a car. As luck would have it a guy work with entered the drawing and some the car. He couldn't afford the taxes on the car,so the owner of the store we worked at struck a deal with him. A little embarrassing for a coworker but it proved the drawing was fair

The most I won on a slot machine is $5,000. Five lines $1 denom, jackpot symbols on line 5 (double diamond or something similar).

Biggest win on VP is $4k+a little. 25c DDB STP 8x multiplier, one of the hands was four aces+kicker.

My biggest slot win by actual amount was around $1,000 on a $2.50 bet. 😀 I got basically a full screen of the dragon and the eggs on 50 Dragons Slot machine. 😀

My biggest slot machine by volume is $90 on a one cent bet. 😀 It was on Queen Of The Nile and Pharaoh Ramses came up with Cleopatra as the wild in the Bonus and she multiplied him by 15 times or something like that. 😀 Just Pharaoh Ramses by himself was worth $6, so Cleopatra multiplying him 15 times gave me $90 on a one cent bet or 9,000 my bet. 😀 I was happily shocked! 😀

My biggest win ever is roughly $ 1,900 on a $2 Roulette game. 😀 The Jackpot was a random progressive and I was happily shocked to suddenly win roughly $1,900/3,800 times my bet on a $2 Roulette bet! 😀

The only taxes that I remember were just federal income tax. I have no idea what my tax rate was in 1995, probably 18%-22%. I was given the check the next day after I claimed the win.

In the early 1990s, a man in my town won a radio giveaway. He was given an AMEX card with $100,000 on it, but it expired in 12 hours. Anything not spent was lost. He bought an above-ground pool and a vacation to Disney for his family. They spent another $ 10,000 or so at a mall and then visited a car dealership. He bought a new station wagon for the family and two Caprices for his college-age kids. He then splurged and bought a used Trans Am, the car of his dreams. It turned out his brother was a local print reporter and the paper documented his adventure.
A few months later, the paper reported that the tax bill forced him to sell his Trans Am.

Yeah, not much use being next to the person, but thought I’d mention it. I was this _____close! To a winner.

To winning, no.

Mine was pretty modest. I hit about $300 on a 60-cent spin a couple years ago. Wasn’t life-changing, but it felt huge to me at the time. I cashed out right after because I didn’t want to give it back.

500 times your bet IS a REALLY huge win. 😀 Smart man for cashing out because you didn't want to give it back. 😀 My Casino Friend told me he won $500 and put it all back and also lost his entire bankroll!😱😳 He was both angry and disgusted in himself! 😱😳

Casinos where they make Winners come to the public stage in order to win big money is VERY risky. 😱😳 A guy won just $500 in a drawing on the public stage and he had two burly men make a VERY uncomfortable sandwich with him as the "sandwich filling," and them as the "bread slices," "Joking," about him buying them dinner with his $500 he won. 😱😳 Luckily he got a Casino Staff Member to get these burly men to get away from him so he could enjoy his $500 in peace. 💡

A woman told me she won $10,000 in free play in a Casino drawing and random Strangers harassed her for a cut of the money. 😱😳 She told them off and asked a Casino Staff Member to escort her to her car and drove home. She came back on another day when none of those random Strangers were at the Casino and was able to use her $10,000 in peace
😀

Years ago, I hit two Triple Diamonds and three bars for a $ 3,600 payout, and while waiting to get paid, I hit a $1,000 Wheel spin on the machine next to mine. About an hour later, I hit Double Diamond -Double Diamond - double bar for $2800. Sadly, I went on a tilt and lost $1100 of it before I called it a night. I was clearing $400 a week at the time from my full-time job. I went home with ten weeks pay. Never duplicated that, although I had a few bigger wins.

Good for you knowing to stop when you lost a third of your winnings back. 😀 About winning the equivalent of a big paycheck, I also won the equivalent of winning a big paycheck about 12 years ago on a $2.50 hit and had a VERY stupid,"I just won the equivalent of a big paycheck on just $2.50, I can quit my job to become a full time Professional Gambler!" Thought. 😀

What a STUPID thought that was 😐🤨 and my VERY next thought was,"Don't be an idiot. Keep your job and don't quit to become a full time Professional Gambler!" 💡I am so grateful that I listened to my smarter idea and kept my job. Quitting my job to become a full time Professional Gambler would have been a REALLY huge bad decision. 💡

When I wore a younger mans clothes, I hit my first big jackpot and it was a $20k Royal Flush. I was young, stupid, and inebriated and went to my local bar where I liked to shoot pool and started telling everyone that I had $20k and who wanted to bet on pool? Fortunately, I only lost a little but how stupid was I to be telling people I had $20k on me? I learned my lesson after that and never told anyone what cash I was carrying. There was one time that I had over $500k in cash on me and only one other person knew because he gave it to me. It was not my money I was doing a job for someone.

Not so much stupid as adrenaline impulsiveness. Adrenaline impulsiveness happens to even the best of us. A guy also won $20,000 on a lucky $5 bet and in adrenaline impulsiveness gave random gambling strangers in the Casino $300 a person. One of the people he randomly gave $300 to thought,"This guy REALLY shouldn't be giving random gambling strangers $300 a person. He's going to end up broke and begging for his money back. He REALLY shouldn't be doing this, he should be putting that money to savings, paying his bills, helping his family out, etc, not doing this. "

About an hour later, the rational guy's prediction came true and the generous guy ended up broke and begging those random gambling strangers for the money back. Most of them said,"Sorry, I already lost that $300. Some of them LAUGHED at him saying something like,"That's what you deserve for giving random gambling strangers $300 in a Casino, thanks for the free $300 idiot!"

The guy was devastated and ended up asking the rational guy for his $300 back. The rational guy felt sorry for him and gave him his $300 back saying something like,"I hope you learned your lesson on why adrenaline impulsively giving random gambling strangers in a Casino $300 a person is a horrible idea!" The guy thanked him for his money back and left with his $300. 💡

The last time I was in Vegas I met some friends at a bar. There was a drunk guy next to me playing some silly reel game on the bar machine and kept getting some decent wins. He was that annoying drunk guy that kept talking to me about stuff I didn't care about, kept wanting me ti high five him, and I was trying to ignore him. He was annoying everyone at the bar. Everytime he hit something he would cash out and give me $100. This happened three times so I had $300 and he lost all his money back. I felt bad for the bartender putting up with him and getting no tips. When I left I paid for all my friends drinks which was probably $100 and left the other $200 for the bartender. I didn't want his money and was happy to get free drinks and leave the bartender a big tip.

I thought this was going to end up,"I felt bad for ignoring someone who ended up giving me big money," but honestly, I'd be annoyed too in your shoes and good for you for putting money you didn't want in the first place and using that money on your friends and the Bartender he stiffed. 💡😀

Yeah I get that 😅 it’s such an easy trap to fall into once the adrenaline’s pumping. That’s exactly why I cashed out after my win. I figured it’s better to walk away with a smile than sit there regretting it later. Do you usually set yourself a limit before you start playing?

That’s an epic story—$10k at 18 is wild! Love that you shared the win with your parents and went all out for prom. Most people dream of hitting a jackpot like that, especially on a random after-work casino stop.

I have no hand pays to speak of, no CTRs either.

Yeah, I agree. That was a solid way to handle it. You didn’t ask for the money, but you still turned it into something positive. It’s wild how people can get so carried away after a big win — all that adrenaline really kicks in. At least the bartender got a nice surprise out of it too.

So, if these guys aren't winning in the long run, they sure are losing a lot.

Yep, a lot of bad decisions are caused by impulsive adrenaline rushes after winning big . A woman said something like, "I won a Million at a Casino today , enough to buy my house and my parents' houses, and pay in full all three of our cars. 😀 I got HUGE adrenaline rushes and played REALLY high bets and left with around a dollar. 😱😳 I am sick and disgusted that I HAD a MILLION and left with around a dollar . 😱😳What the HELL did I just do? 😱😳"

After playing for 10 years I haven't had any hand pays either.

Yesterday I had my biggest slot win. Followed 45 minutes later by an even bigger win. I was playing "Invaders Return From The Planet Moola" at Four Winds New Buffalo for 0.35 a spin and accidently hit the max bet button. It racked up 200 free games for $516. Nice! Biggest win to date. I moved to another machine in the same bank and upped my usual bet to $1.75 and captured the Unicow for 400 free games. After retriggering the free games several times I walked away with $1,142.00! Biggest win ever.

This is a continuation of a mini winning streak I've had lately. Last week I hit a royal flush on JOB nickels for $200.

Someone just won $1.1 million at the Venetian on a Dragon Link. They were playing $125 a spin , if the news is correct.

Not to rain on your parade, but 200 free spins at max bet and ONLY getting $516 isn't all that good of a win. 😬 I feel that the payout on that game insulted you. 😬 You honestly should have gotten around $1,500, not just $516. 💡

I see that. However, I started with $20. When I accidently hit max bet, my first thought was "oh s**t there goes my money". I was happy to come out ahead.

Story time.

I was living in the Miami area for a couple months around the beginning of this year. I was just getting into casino mathematics and was starting to read the Wizard of Odds website to learn more. One night I decided to drive to visit a number of casinos near Miami, to watch jai-alai, see what they were like, and hopefully get some free play for signing up. Of course I did get Free Play, usually $25-50 at each place, which I then washed through video poker if I could (after scoping out the best Jacks or Better since that was the strategy I was most comfortable with at the time). However around half places did not let you use video poker so I just tried to find the least flashy most simple machine since I had heard anecdotally that the ones with giant screens and tons of flashing lights have worse RTP on average. In fact, a few casinos did not let you use freeplay on some of the older machines, which makes me suspect that they have better RTP. Usually on the slots, I could get back 80% of what I put in which is fine since it is free money.

I had to drive a bit out of the way for the last casino, I was given $20 or so in Free Play, and I could not use it on video poker or an older slot machine so I randomly chose an empty leprechaun-themed slot machine. I used 25¢ spins, and quickly burned through almost all of my money. After spending $18 out of the $20 in Free Play, I had only gotten $2 back! I felt really frustrated that I had wasted my time coming to this casino when I should have spent it outside on the beach or something, and also I felt a bit cheated because slot machines in other casinos offered much less volatility.

I did another 25¢ spin, and suddenly I had activated some "jackpot bonus mini game" or something. Basically I had a limited number of spins to fill the screen up with as many pots of gold as possible or something like that. With each spin at the beginning, I got a dollar or so. "Finally, getting some expected return", I thought. The spins start giving me more and I'm up to $15 profit. An older Asian woman starts watching me and telling me how the Jackpot system works, since she has played this slot machine a lot, and said she just was playing it before me. The spins increase and now I'm up to $40, I'm feeling more excited and others start matching. $60, $80, $100! I'm feeling really happy that this trip is unexpectedly profitable! Finally I reach around $150, and it ends.

The Asian woman suddenly claims that she "helped me" get the jackpot. When I withdraw my player's card, she asks if it's hers and I show that it isn't. She starts following me around, aggressively asking for a portion of the jackpot. I was afraid that she will cause a scene, or rip my receipt, or even try to take cash when I withdraw. For context this was the first time in my life that I had ever really done anything like this so I didn't know what to do. "I really really need to use the bathroom right now" I exclaim. "Oh not good go there" she says. I go into the bathroom and hide. I peek out, and she is standing immediately outside the bathroom waiting for me. I stay in the bathroom alone for about five minutes, waiting for an employee to come and maybe help me. I peek outside again and she is slightly distracted. She turns her head for a second, and I sprint across the casino floor (in flip-flops) and run to the cashier. I get my cash at the cashier as fast as I can, looking around for the woman the whole time. I then sprint to my car and start hyperventilating. I ended up driving to some diner that was open at 2:30am and having some random meal and talking with the employees - I definitely needed that normal human interaction after that experience.

In total that night I made around $250, but obviously I couldn't repeat those gains daily since those casinos just gave me free play for it being my first time there. This experience did not change opinion of slot machines, which is that I do not find them fun, but I really do like video poker (idk if this counts as a type of slot machine).

Video poker, as well as electronic table games, are slot machines in that 1) a win of $1,200 or more is a taxable handpay, 2) it has a bill validator and 3) it prints a slot ticket when you cash out. Live table games and live keno have none of those things.

Harris, when people bother you at the casino like that, you should immediately ask for security. Alternatively, you can also stand your ground and put them in their place, if you are comfortable doing so. That woman should have been 86'ed and escorted out of the building. There is no reason for you to hide and run from trolls.

I work at a casino and have to deal with trolls every day. When I pay people a jackpot, occasionally some stranger wants to watch. I don't need to call security. I tell that person, in a polite way, to get lost. But I also have a lot more life experience than you and have no problems dealing with trolls.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the clarification on the definition of slot machines.

At the time I assumed that she was not some sort of scammer but rather that she was acting genuinely but just very superstitious and couldn't be reasoned with. In retrospect, she has probably tried doing that to others.

I watched a video (quite awhile ago) of somebody winning a few hundred free spins on a Planet Moola type machine. He won over a million coins, but they were pennies, so it was over $10K. I guess he was betting a $1 or $2 per spin, but I don't remember. I liked that kind of win, but it was at least a half hour of free spins. Getting those free spins is very difficult though, so don't count on getting them.

Here's Raja from a month ago winning over $10K in a short win streak while betting $200/spin. That could have turned into a million dollars with like 700 free spins.
