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.
