At the beginning of July this year, a player in the gambling metropolis of Las Vegas hit a multi-million dollar slot machine jackpot. The winner, who is said to have come directly from Las Vegas, won 10.5 million US dollars in one go. But which slot machine changed the player's life, and what else is known about the lucky man?

Just a few weeks ago, GambleJoe reported that a player at Las Vegas airport hit a million dollar jackpot while waiting for his flight. However, "only" about 1.3 million US dollars changed hands. Almost ten times as much was won by a player at the Cannery Casino. To be precise, his winnings amounted to US$10,488,726. However, the brave player had also decided to bet $40 on one hand.

Megabucks slot machine hits million-dollar jackpot

US American Jesus C. hit the jackpot in the early hours of 7 July 2023. To be precise, the jackpot was hit on the popular Megabucks slot machine at around 5.30am on that Friday. On that day, the player, Jesus C., was a guest at the Cannery Casino, located in the north of the gambling metropolis of Las Vegas. The Cannery Casino is run by Boyd Gaming. A company spokesperson recently confirmed the million dollar win and the identity of the winner. The prize is worth around 9.6 million euros.

The Megabucks slot was first released in 1986 by developer IGT and is still one of the most popular slots in the USA. The slot has a progressive jackpot and has been known for its huge jackpots in the millions for years. The special thing about Megabucks games is that they increase the jackpot all over the world.

However, the lucky man is not a "regular" at the Cannery Casino. Instead, he prefers to visit the nearby Gold Coast and Orleans casinos. It is possible, however, that the Cannery Casino will rise in the rankings and become his new "favourite casino" after its current success.

In this country, slot machine jackpots tend to be much smaller. In May this year, for example, we reported that a player won over €500,000 at the Wiesbaden Casino.

The last time the Megabucks machine hit the jackpot was in April this year. A woman from Reno, Nevada won a staggering US$14 million. After playing for less than an hour and betting $10, she was also able to enjoy a double-digit million dollar prize. The biggest prize in slots history was won by a software engineer in 2003, who took home almost US$40 million.

We have already discussed in another article that Las Vegas casinos often use "psychological tricks" to keep players happy.

Who is the lucky guy at the Cannery Casino?

Very little is known about the winner of the Cannery Casino, Jesus C. As mentioned above, he is said to be from Las Vegas and is using his winnings to buy his mother a house. However, there should still be a few million left over for him personally.
