Amazing win in Reno. https://mynews4.com/news/local/reno-man-wins-largest-penny-machine-jackpot-in-gsr-history RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — A Reno man won the largest penny machine jackpot in the history of the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino Tuesday. According to the GSR, a man named David won $157,928.10 while playing the Ba Fang Jin Bao: Abundant Fortunate penny slot.
Must have been building up awhile or was it linked to other locations? Looks like it reset to just over $11,000 in the photo.
A friend posted photos on instagram and the winner won it in a bonus... spin 8 of 9 at max bet ($8.80) and the screen filled with the top symbol. This wasn't the progressive after all!
Holy carp! I'd like to know what the odds of that are. I didn't even know it was possible to win more than the top progressive prize on those types of machines but I'm not a big slot guy.
Definitely a lot harder than hitting the grand! In the replay pic you can see random numbers above each reel. I wonder if those are the "stop numbers". So there is a good chance there is 55 or more stops on each reel. If only one position gives 5 of that symbol on the reel (I really don't know). Then the odds of doing this on a 55-stop per reel game on a single spin would be 1 in 55^5 or 1 in 503,284,375.
Odds I'm willing to take too.... as a 3 time GRAND winner (88 fortunes, 5 treasures and lock-it-link)... bring me this baby! I actually know another person that hit the same screen at Desert Diamond in Tucson back in Dec. 2019. Here's her screen she shared with me. Can lightning strike 3 times... if so please pick me!
