Lucky gambler bets $1.20 on slot machine — then wins much bigger prize in Las Vegas

A woman got lucky at a Las Vegas casino when she won her first jackpot prize from a slot machine.

Now, she’s taking home $11,459.

The gambler sat at a Magic Treasures Dragon slot machine at Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, the hotel said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She bet $1.20, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen.

Then a jackpot message appeared.

“We couldn’t be happier for her!” the hotel said in the post.

Another gambler recently won a jackpot at the same casino.

The lucky person bet $2 on Fu Dai Lian Lian Phoenix slot machine and won $10,163.

Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall is about a 5-mile drive east of the Strip.

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.
