Back in the late 90's in Reno I was playing at the Atlantis. Always played quarters and had a limit to spend. When I went into the casino I had 100.00 to spend. Sat down to an 8 machine bank, 4 on each side. Almost immediately hit 4 aces with kicker for $4,000. Waiting for payout, and was playing the machine next to hit and hit $4,000. Long story short within a short period of time I had all 8 machines with lights on with Aces or Royals. I was shaking and could not believe my luck. Of course security was right on top of it all. Tipped out and left. Never happened again but thought this was a once in a lifetime hit. $32,000. Wow.

Wow! Fantastic. I can’t hold a candle to that one. The closest I can come was back about 20 years ago at Fox Tower which is part of Foxwoods. There was also a bank of 8 machines. On one side, playing Deuces Wild, I hit 4 Deuces for 1,000 bucks each on all 4 machines and each one was played no more than 5 hands before the Deuces hit. Another once in a lifetime situation!!

How do you get $4000 jackpots playing quarters?

He/She was playing dollars not quarters per Topic.

It's so refreshing to see an unembellished story.

You mean that you don't believe that a player can have all 8 machines in a bank, waiting to get paid off on each one, at a time? Especially when starting with a $100.00 bankroll? You don't believe that a single player can hit 8 jackpots on 8 different machines within a 20 minute time frame? Most likely, single line play? You don't believe that all 8 machines were open and there were no other players at this bank? dinghy, please say that you believe.

I have a confession. Does anyone remember my story about the guy on my right ordering a Jack and Coke, and a moment later I drew the fourth jack to a quad?

To be honest, he was actually on my left.

I guess I was confused by the "I always played quarters" statement.

As for me, I can't believe it "Never happened again..." Of course, they probably mean it never happened again where they were all DEALT!

It does sound hard to believe, yet I have seen some amazing things myself at the casino. For instance, the one I posted about back in 2016. Everyone knows how I play, bets and denomination all over the place every deal, yet in I think it was August 2016, I hit for exactly 18,000 on 2 different machines in the same gaming day. Not as dramatic as the above story however. I have also seen back to back Royals by someone and then an hour later he hit 2 more Royals. Finally, of course I wish it was me, a lady hits a 2.3 M progressive 2 seater penny machine the exact second I was walking by her and thinking wow that must be almost impossible to do. But who knows……..
