Tourist from Texas spends $3.20 on slot machine — then wins much more in Las Vegas

A lucky gambler from Texas spent a few dollars on a slot machine and ended up hitting the jackpot.

They won $10,145.29.

The guest sat at a Smokin’ Hot Stuff Wicked Wheel slot machine at Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel, the casino said in a Sept. 16 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

They bet $3.20, hit spin and watched the symbols flash across the screen until they were alerted of the jackpot prize.

Now, the player is going home with a big prize.

Another gambler also got lucky at the same casino recently.

A Las Vegas resident bet $5 on a Dragon Link Golden Century slot machine and won over $14,000, McClatchy reported Sept. 12.

Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel is on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
