Biggest Casino Winners

Just who are some of the greatest casino winners in Vegas? The reply might surprise you. It's not the professional poker players or the people that are paying the $100 slots that are winning big. It is people just like you and me that are just keeping the place warm and taking a opportunity on the slots. The greatest winners on record are all winners of the Megabucks jackpot. The jackpot starts at $7 million and travels up from there until there is a mega winner.

For one lucky man, lightning or rather a jackpot have struck twice. At the age of 92, Elmer Sherwin won his 2nd Megabucks jackpot. Mr. Sherwin won $21 million almost 16 old age after his initial win of 4.6 million in the same jackpot game. Both of Mr. Sherwin’s jackpots were won in Las Vegas and were portion of the Megabucks web of progressive slot machines. He will have his winnings in yearly installments but said that he had programs to donate his winnings to victims of Hurricane Katrina. His first jackpot win had allowed him to go the world, now he wanted to give back.

Another large winner was Amy Nishimura from Hawaii. At 71, Ms. Nishimura was visiting Las Vegas on holiday and hit the $8.9 million Megabucks jackpot at the Freemont hotel after disbursement about $100 on the slots. Ms. Nishimura was another winner of the Megabucks web that is linked to over 150 casinos across Nevada. More players intend a higher payout for the lucky winners. She said that she had had dreamings about her win before she hit the jackpot.

The biggest jackpot ever won in Vegas was $39.7 million and was won in March of 2003 at the Excalibur casino. The lucky winner was a 25-year-old man from Los Angeles that turned a $100 stretch at the slots into the greatest win ever recorded. The instantly affluent adult male was visiting Vegas for the NCAA basketball tournaments and just sat down at the slot machine to play for a while. He walked away with a humongous 1.5 million dollar payout for the adjacent 25 years.

While we can all dream, the large winners are all just like you and me. They decided to sit down down and take a opportunity and lady fortune was on their side. As Mr. Sherwin have proven, lady fortune doesn't always only hit once.
