One of the greatest things about slots is how easy they are to play. You don’t need any special skills to win one of the biggest slot machine jackpots in history, as we look at below! The only criteria is that you have a sense of adventure, play within your means, and a little luck never hurts either.
That said, it is only through the progressive jackpot slots that you can see the real biggest wins. These are the games that increase the jackpot prize every time someone plays and there is no big winner. With that in mind, here’s a look at the five largest progressive slot wins we could find… although not every win ended with a payout!
- $21 Million on Megabucks: Winning can come at any age, and it was a very sweet win for a 92-year-old veteran. The biggest surprise about this win is that the veteran did not hit the jackpot once, but he claimed it twice. This veteran had won $4.6 million earlier playing a Megabucks slot. He returned to the same casino after 12 years of winning the jackpot and tried the same Megabucks title. This time he won a $21,147,947 jackpot prize.
- $24 Million on Mega Fortune: A Finnish poker player decided to try his hand on the Mega Fortune slot machine. He was playing at an online casino in Scandinavia. He let the reels spin on the Mega Fortune machine with a mere 25 cents.
- $34.9 Million on Megabucks: Cocktail waitress Cynthia Jay Brennan visited Desert Inn casino after her work in January 2000. The waitress decided to play the slot machine at the gaming center. After about one hour of reel spinning, she walked out of the casino with $34.9 million. There is no doubt that it would have been the happiest moment of her life.
- $39 Million on Megabucks: This is one of the biggest wins that a gambler collected from a Las Vegas casino. Luck was in favour of the young software engineer as he decided to try his hand at Megabucks jackpot at Excalibur Casino. This happened in 2003, and he played with a $100 stake.
- $43 Million on Sphinx Slot Machine: Katrina Bookman visited Resort World Casino in New York in August 2016 to spend some time gambling. She was playing on the Sphinx Slot Machine and she received a $42.9 million winning ticket. But, her joy was short-lived as the maximum win of that machine was just $6500. She has sued the casino and the case is still going on.
