Slots Nice way to start your Trip

• July 21, 2020 12:21 Big Jackpot Hit at the Airport:

A southern California woman who just flew in and couldn't wait to hit the machines was betting $5 a pull on a penny Wheel of Fortune game on Concourse C at McCarran when she hit the grand prize of $873,511. It's among the largest jackpots ever hit at the airport.

 

Holy shit. Best trip ever. I would go straight to a single-zero roulette table and put a yellow on every number.

 

@Chuck2009x, I think I’d hop on the next plane home!

 

Don't wanna pay the change fee.

 

I'd go to the closest chase bank and depost check.

 

I am not a roulette player, but wouldn't this guarantee the loss of one yellow chip on every spin?

 

Mathematically I believe you are correct... though I feel like this would be more for the novelty of saying “I placed a $37,000 bet in Vegas once” at a time when the guaranteed $1,000 loss would be a relative drop in the bucket

 

$35,000 in cash and the rest in a check. Blackjack and craps and try to triple up the $35,000 and get back home!

 

1. Book a flight back home to make arrangements to work remotely for a year. Hire someone to do my work on the road, etc.
2. Deposit check in a bank that has a Las Vegas location.
3. Fly back out to Vegas.
4. Spend $1000 a day for a year.
5. See how long I can extend that run past a year or see if I can live through a year of excess. Either which way, it would be legendary lol.

 

Yes, I'd do it for one spin and lose $1,000. Totally worth it, there's 872 more where that came from.

This guy might give me shit though

 

Congrats @Hitmaxbet !

 

You know what?
I saw it with my own eyes that some rich gambler in a fancy European casino, betting a table full of $5000 chips, about 200 in total,
putting $5000 chips uniformly on each of the numbers in Roulette.
I didn't know what he was doing, but I noticed he had 4 or more bodyguards with him.

 

I always wondered how those big jackpots are paid out on those at the airport and how long that process takes? Someone told me once that airport slots can be a total pain when you win big. I said it would be a total pain I’d love to have...

 

I didn't get hand pay at the airport myself, but I saw others got them.
It took like 20 minutes for a not so big hand pay. Longer than a normal casino, but not crazy either.
The entire airport is like one big casino, as the slots operation goes, they do have places that can issue W2G, bring big cash etc.

For a networked big jackpot, I guess it would be the same as in any casino, takes a few hours.

 

Personally, I'd have played $1,000 each on the pass/don't pass lines at a high-limit craps table. Similar house edge, I'd only stand to lose $1,000 at a time provided 12 doesn't get rolled, and that "moment" of playing big would last far longer as opposed to a single spin.

 

I'd be the guy trying to use the Chase mobile deposit app on the giant promotional check, lol.
