Largest Jackpot witnessed in Casino on Video Poker

Post by bkingtoday »

Saw a lady hit a Royal Flush on a Triple Play Video Poker about three months ago. She was dealt the Royal and got paid $12,000 on a $1 Game King machine. What's the largest Jackpot you've seen on Video Poker in a Casino?

The two largest jackpots I personally witnessed were at mgm Detroit in 2010 and they took place in a two week span....I saw a 50 play 1$ dealt four 4 s and an ace on bonus DDB for   40 k....two weeks later someone hit a $100 triple diamond slot for72 k

Must have been Mr. Fa La La La La.... La la la la aka fa la la. He usually gets one somewhere about once a month. At least according to him.

I saw I guy will win 24K on a ulimate x machine and not 15 minutes later won another 20K on the same machine. Both times he held just 2 aces, and was dealt the other 2 with the kicker on one hand. I would say this was his lucky night.

I would say right around 35k at Mohegan Sun on a Multi-Strike game. Royal on the top line so it was times 8 and the guy was playing dollars. However, the biggest win I ever saw on anything was a lady who hit a 2 seater penny machine progressive for 2.3 M a few years ago at Mohegan Sun. That one made the news. I think I already posted about it some time ago. Finally, not vp, but many years ago I had a 55 minute roll on a craps table. I made almost nothing since I had no budget to speak of that day and was just playing the pass line. However, there were several 50k winners at the table that day. One was nice enough to tip me 300 bucks.

Awesome to hear that story with the craps sharpshooting olds. I wish I was at a crap table with someone rolling at least 30 times let alone 55 minutes.

For the largest VP win I've witnessed, it was a $10,000 win with 4 aces with a 3 on DDB. The guy was playing $5 denominations and held just a single ace on the draw. I know there are plenty of pictures online of people winning much larger jackpots, there are actual videos on youtube of a high roller dustyhills55 who plays high denomination TDB.

I have witness much larger slot wins than VP wins, though slots are much more volatile and have higher variances. The biggest I have seen was a $312k jackpot from the quarter Wheel of Fortune state progressive slots.

yikes.......that almost seems unfair!!   but then again the player was wagering 125 bucks a deal so......no wonder caesars is bankrupt  lol!    I'd also wager that the actual machine was promptly shut down for "maintenance" or weekly cobweb tests or some crap.....

Somebody named billyjoe, who looks like a poster on this site, had this hand. Pretty impressive.
