This week we’re happy to report that the latest Aria Casino jackpot was hit last week, and it was no run of the mill win, either! This win was a Megabucks win! And it was huge, even by Las Vegas standards!
A couple in their 70’s was visiting from California (what they were doing at the Aria has not been determined) and playing the Megabucks Gold Forge Slot Machine. After placing a $5 bet and a pull of the lever, their lives were changed.
Once the reels settled and the bells and whistles started, the pair was looking at an enormous Aria Casino jackpot worth over $10 million richer! To be precise, they took home just north of $10,159,320. Not bad for an afternoon’s work.
The win could have been even bigger, however, if not for another Megabucks jackpot being hit just the day before! That win came at the Cannery Casino, a Boyd Gaming property in north Las Vegas. When a Megabucks progressive is hit, the jackpot resets to $10 million.
Megabucks is a popular, player favorite slot game with a twist. That is, players are required to place the maximum bet of $3 per spin in order to qualify for a shot at the progressive jackpot. Upon making the maximum bet and initiating the spin, securing “Megabucks” symbols along the payline on every reel becomes the key to unlocking the substantial prize.
So it could have been more, but these folks won a freekin’ Aria Casino jackpot that was worth over $10 million! And who can be upset about that? You can find out what the Megabucks jackpot is at, and where to play, when you visit the IGT website.
