A Las Vegas gambler bet less than a $1 on a slot machine and won a big jackpot prize.

Now, the player is $11,021.03 richer.

The guest sat at an Emerald Guardian slot machine at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino, the hotel said in a Feb. 25 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The gambler bet 88 cents, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen.

The visitor then walked away with a jackpot worth thousands.

Palace Station Hotel & Casino is just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Another gambler got lucky at a slot machine in Vegas.

This guest was at Boulder Station Hotel & Casino when they bet $2 on a Buffalo Link slot and won more than $17,000.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
