Golden Charms slot machine

What do you think? Dare to play $5/spin in a slot with more than 400k max-win? For me, I'd stick to 5,000x max-win :D
FYI DOA 2 only has 111,111x max-win, and it's so tough.

No, I will not dare to play $5/spin in a slot, even if there are 400k max-win, because before I get that max-win, I will screw myself and lose so much money. Besides that, we do not know when the max-win will come and that is why we need to keep playing until the max-win comes. Besides, my bet for every spin is less than $1, so that $5 will be too big for me ;D

He has his luck playing on that slot machine and won so much money. I wonder how much he already spent before hitting the max-win because I do not think he only spent $5 in one spin and hit the jackpot.

Yeah how many spins did he make before hitting thay mark of insane multiplier above 400k which is biggest I have ever seen ? But he was damn too lucky to hit that slot which his girlfriend insisted him to play and that was his luckiest day of life to hit this jackpot of $2.4 million.We could play but don't know we could have same luck or not and might end up losing hundred of dollars without hitting any max win.

Man, that's twice the last record, congrats to him! I'm rather curious as to how long he's been gambling or if he has an estimate of how much money he's spent on gambling already. Also based on the article it seems like his past biggest win was around $20,000? Compared to his current win that amount looks so damn small.

This. Maybe I'd play every now and then but I definitely would not try to even dare to win, especially in a 400k max-win. Maybe if I get a girlfriend who tells me to play slots 8) .

I think when it is written for you that you are going to win the jackpot from God or some super natural power then you are going to win the jackpot.Having a supportive girlfriend in this kind of venture is a double edged sword as in this time this guy won the biggest jackpot in the history of that state but what if the girlfriend insisted on keeping playing slots and he would be bankrupted soon after if not winning big.There are always to sides to the story but this one it is with a beautiful ending and huge congrats to him in the end.

This is not his first jackpot win. Earlier he have won $20k win from the same casino, but on a different machine. His luck have come through his wife. There is no data on how many spins have been made before making such a big win. This is called pure luck, because if his wife haven't insisted he might've left the place. This looks like coincidence of luck and fate. If that was me, I could've made a maximum of 10 spins.

I wonder who is the lucky one: the player or his girlfriend who suggested which slot he should play? The amount he won is life-changing. I hope he doesn't change his girlfriend though and start dating models now that he has more cash to spend. It's also interesting that it's not the first time he wins significant amounts because a different slot machine netted him a $20.000 profit at a previous date.

I wonder what Washington tax laws are like and how big of a cut goes to the state with such wins?

What a lucky and blessed guy, right? @Vaskly has even mentioned that he have won a lot before, and that’s a significant amount as well. Luck is indeed a playful, unexpected, and a beautiful thing. I just hope that he doesn’t get addicted and make good use of his winnings so he won’t lose it instantly and regret later.

5$ per spin ?
No
The chances of you winning any game in penny slots is way more than the chances of you winning normally in a dollar slot, that's simple mathematics. Therefore I do think I would rather convert those dollars into pennies and then play some other slot, it's highly unlikely that a person wins, generally most of them will loose ofc and with that price, you might as well get a big hole in your pocket. {{You will get more chances to win in the penny slots}}
At the same time the percentage payment for the dollar slots is more tho. I once places 5$ slots, got 6 in didn't win anything, loss of money in that section, might as well play some games which does depend on your skills.

I beg to disagree though, $5 per spin might be expensive for the majority of us, but if you not looking for a quick jackpot but rather have the chance to get a good combination, the pay lines.

It just so happen that Lady Luck has smile on him and his spin a windfall.

So for me, if I have a deep pocket, I will rather play $5 per spin than playing on a penny slots.

I had once play on a $10 per spin, I forget how much initial capital I had but I got lucky and win around $4k just with pay lines hits alone.

He previously won $20k on different machine. Her girlfriend must have expect he will win something and surprisingly its the jackpot. Lucky man, her girlfriend is the real lucky charm. I guess he can now showcase his gallery.

Slot is the easiest game to play in the traditional casinos. Most newbie who had not decide yet which game to actually play will jist sit on slot machines just passing time drinking their whiskys. Thats why slot is the money maker of casinos. I will play few for 5/spin if I have extra, I'll never know my luck.

Really lucky to win on that, but lucky to have a girlfriend who supports him on gambling. Something that happens very rarely, I am personally strictly prohibited from gambling by my girlfriend. $5 for one spin, I wouldn't use it. I don't even want to think about it, except for 100 spins. I'm a small gambler who enjoys every spin, not want to try my luck only with $5 because this value is my balance that's can spend it, at slots.

Lucky to have a girlfriend who can support your gambling activities and guess what, it pays off.
Slots game are game of luck, he is so lucky to win the jackpot and now a title holder. Didn’t know the slot pays that much but yeah, it happened and for sure many will try to plat on that slot machine for a hope that they can get the same lucky charm. $5/spin is quiet big already for me, maybe I can also try to do this and see if the luck is still within me.

Slots are financial killing machines for those who cannot control their emotions during the game. $5/ spin is not for me but still possible for gambling whales. So don't be tempted by big jackpots if you can only play 100 spins for $1/spin.  :D

I wouldn't try my luck for 10-50 spins if I had enough money to play $5/spin. It's too risky to do especially for players who only expect pleasure in gambling. Maybe I will be tempted to do so if my crypto wallet is full of valuable items. LOL

This is quite simply explained: those who play slots win in slots. For example, my chance to win in slots is zero - I don't play them  ;D
I hope he does not make a mistake and does not continue to gamble, but will try (for a start) to change his life - he won a significant amount and it will be very disappointing if it leaves as easily as it came.


As for this question, I pass. I bet bigger on sports, but there I feel (even if it's self-deception) that I'm in control. Playing slots where you have to make a hundred spins to feel the game with a bet of $5 is too expensive for me.

Hahahaha 5$.

I watch a landbase player in real-casino, and yeah indeed they more often to play with high base bet. The only annoying thing playing in land based casino is the cashout, only like 50x is trigger handpay and required attendance.

Maybe comparing to online slot, landabase have more often hitting.

Well apparently that guy already have won 20,000USD on other slot machine ^[1] in the past and is a common player in that casino (Tulalip Casino). Hence, 5$ bet is just common for him - a casual gambler so to say. But if you would ask a normal gambler who plays only when they have spare money or when they want to, then such bet would be worth a try but not worth to keep trying to achieve. Knowing the fact that physical slot machines is a pure random with 0.1% chance of winning the jackpot ^[2], only 0.1% percent of all gamblers as well would dare to try it. He's so lucky, having to had that chance, but others must not see it as 'their own' chance as well.

[1] - Lynnwood painter wins record $2.37 million jackpot on Tulalip Resort Casino slot machine (https://myedmondsnews.com/2022/03/lynnwood-painter-wins-record-2-37-million-jackpot-on-tulalip-resort-casino-slot-machine/)
[2] - WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF WINNING ON A SLOT MACHINE? (https://www.gamblingonline.com/slots/odds/)

Personally, A big no for me unless I have the same financial capability as those persons who won the jackpot. That $5 per bet is nothing as they can afford to lose it. However, if that's their average or usual bet prior to winning the jackpot, I admire their guts to take the risks.

Like the famous quote, no pain no gain, no guts no glory, high-risk high rewards.

Also eyeing to win a jackpot for an average of $1 per bet. When will my time come? :D

Maybe his girlfriend is the lucky ones? How much share she gets?  :P

Well, if I have a lot of spare money to gamble, why not? I would love to try it and I'll set a limit until when to stop if I'm not hitting that multiplier. It's really a rare moment for someone to get through that multiplier and win.

I think that the casino won't allow that to happen that another person would win with just a short period of time from the other win that has happened.

Gambling is a game with lot of lucks and tactics.To win a game, we should build our own tactics for a game. It may be a short running luck. But it's consistency will plays a huge role in the gambling.If he worried about his luck, he won't win this much lucky win.This was a pure luck to the person who believe the gambling. This huge win was a common one in a jackpot wins.As he said,it was happened with a different machine. His wife luck also played a major role in this game.

A $5 spin is a bit big amount for me. That kind of win only comes very rare. So that means you need to have like hundreds or worse thousands of spins before you get to win a huge multiplier.
The amount of money you bet might only be accumulated by the casino to give you that multiplier.
However, there are also these lucky people like the OP who have won millions of dollars, but then again that only comes very rarely lol.
I'd rather try my luck casually than doing it consistently.

^ $5 per bet will hurt your pocket once you did not hit the multiplier for how many wagers, it needs a huge capital before you probably hit the jackpot if you are very lucky. I believed that there is a very lucky person and I witnessed in my two eyes when my friend gambled on the offline casino, the same story by the OP, that is a very lucky story when you will hit the jackpot because it has surely a big prize.
Sounds interesting how I wish I also win on this kind of game but unfortunately I am not.

Only the luckiest will be able to win such jackpot. Maybe your friend is one among the luckiest list. For Whale gamblers $5 spin won't be a big thing, but for common gamblers who look for mere earning this will be big and in no time could get emptied. From OP it looks like the winner is a self employed painter, which means he makes an average earning and nothing big. On contrary to that already he had won $20k from the same casino which shows he's a regular player. Anyhow for his long/short term risk he had profited through his girlfriend's words.

Generally a gambler can spin 10 times per minute, what means in an hour it corresponds to 600 spins. Following this strategy, it would be needed to spend 3000$ for an one hour gambling session. That amount can be compared to total annual wage received by many employees in third world countries.

What many people receive in one year, a gambler playing this method would spend in one hour!

So, it's an insane amount to wage in a very short time period. Not applicable for real, without any doubts (at least for my standards).

This is in Washington though. The gambler seems not a very wealthy man but still gambles for $5 per spin. Too much for a slot spin. Well just as what they are saying "bet big to win big".

It could be that he is too desperate to win to make a living, being a painter is not a job that will give $3000 any moment but according to the article, he is frequent in the casino. Lucky to have a girlfriend that supports him for being a gambler. They are not a very common couple.

Using $5/spin? Hell, no.
That is too much for me. I'd rather use $0.5/spin or lower as that is the amount I can use to bet.
Even if I have a girlfriend supporting me to bet high, I will still not use $5/spins.
That will cost more than $100 to win big like him and the chance for others is not too big.
I can not imagine how he felt before he won that big money.

I'd be interested to know the probability of hitting the jackpot. It must be so low considering that you only need $5 per spin to have that chance to hit the 473,949.79x multiplier. Is it right to somehow liken it to the probability of hitting the jackpot of a national lottery?

Personally, I am not a fan of playing for the sake of hitting a jackpot which only happens once in a blue moon. Of course I don't mind playing. But I also do not want to play more often because of such possibility and with all seriousness or a fervent hope. I'm afraid the bigger the jackpot is, the deeper the hopes of many players and the bigger their loss.

Why not if I can afford it? Unfortunately, I can't lol. That was an insane bet, to begin with, but for sure, that was something those jackpot winners can afford even prior to hitting that. It's just that they are now rewarded with the risks they take.

Surely, they won't stop betting and it will fuel their gambling pleasure more.

I'm fine betting up to $1 max per spin. A jackpot is a jackpot and that's what matters. Although of course, we should not expect or even chase it as that experience only happened on selected people regardless of the probability.

Even he could've felt the same as we people. $5 is something big. Finally the winning has made his name added in history. If he had made spins with $0.5 we might not be discussing about his win. Just because he dare to spend he was able to be the largest slot winner. Once again it is proven, whether it is on machine or in an online casino the luckiest will profit.

I watched some reviews on this Slot and it says it is not a very popular Slot.  ::)  The theoretical RTP (Return to player is 98.63%) ..but I think the review was done on the mobile/desktop version of this Slot and not for the Slot that are used in the brick&mortar casinos.  ::)

You can play the demo version here ==> https://casino.guru/golden-charms-slot-play-free ...if you want to get the feel for it. (Asian themed Slot)

This is still a phenomenal win.... and a record that we will not see again soon. This painter will also now have the brag rights to be able to say that he has won the biggest Slot win in Washington's State history.  ;D

Thank you OP for this article, it gives us some hope that the big one is out there.  ::)

$5/spin doesn't seem to match my current financial strength and may be very risky for me. The biggest bet I've ever played on slots was $1/spin where I had enough money to try my luck on the slots. There is no jackpot, but luckily I was able to get a few wins out of it.

Everyone would probably be attracted by such a big multiplier, but not everyone would be as lucky as it seems where defeat is much more likely for us. As I said, $1/spin seems to be safe for me. Maybe if I'm lucky enough, I'll hit the jackpot.

There are no safe bets in gambling. The smaller the bet you make the more spins you can make thus increasing the time spent at the slot machine but at the same time the possible amount of winnings decreases. I also try not to bet more than $1 per spin but I did not get richer from it. This guy is a lucky guy.

It will not matter anymore even if he play thousands of dollars it will not matter because $2.4 million is $2.4 million, it took to years before the jackpot is hit again this only proves that you can be a millionaire playing a luck-based game but don't play thinking that you will be the next one, you will be the next one if you are lucky and luck is something is forced it will happen if you are in the right place at the right time.

The probability that you will be lucky enough to win such a large sum is negligible. We will hear many more stories about big winnings in gambling, but to win such a sum on your own is like finding a needle in a haystack.

I am sincerely glad that many people get a chance to change their lives for the better thanks to such winnings.

I can but imagine that the love he had for his girlfriend has now gotten bigger. I wonder how many times he had to play and visit that slot machine before hitting jackpot, and how much he must have lost in the process, that is definitely not considered. Before you get inspired and double up your attempts on the slot machine or decide to try for the first time, realise that our lucky Jackpot winner lost a couple of times too, but had his partners (girlfriend) consolation and encouragement, we may not have such partners who are willing to support us regardless. Evaluate your position, family, finance and lifestyle before you decide to start gambling on slots or any other, so the habit doesn't break your family and  exhaust your finances, things are different for everyone.

$5/spin is just too big for me, I will not dare to do it unless I'm a millionaire :)
If the min bet is $0.1-0.5, I will consider to play the game even though I do not really like to play game with that huge max multiplier.
Having that huge max multiplier means that the volatility is above High or even above extreme :)
Tombstone RIP with 300,000x max multiplier is a good alternative to those who want to hunt huge multiplier in online casino.
The min bet is also more affordable which is $0.1 only.

Wow, a winning over $ 2.3 million USD only by playing slots? Thats really something! Although if thats a $5 slot machine then I do wonder how much money you would have lost over the years of playing just to get to that point? the article says Lopez frequents the casino and had previously won $20,000, but on a different machine. I doubt that he hasn't been doing this for years. Still, a win is a win. Congrats to him and his girlfriend! Hope their relationship does not detoriate because of the money.

I myself would never play $5 USD slots though. ::)

This is slot a pure luck-based game you should play within your means and not forced yourself to win if you bet and your pocket hurt then you're playing to win and not play to have fun, the largest jackpot won by the player is won by luck, everybody wants to win huge amount of money on slot we can try but it's better to have fun while wishing and hoping to win so it will not be frustrating when you cannot hit the jackpot.

All would answer would not do it for $5/spin and it would be a huge amount to do it multiple times, because slots are a lucky bet, unless they are whales.
and the OP's luck due to his girlfriend's whispers, which prompted him to play slots again and the results were very unexpected.
and I've also heard of some winners because it started with the whispers of strangers and also the whispers of supernatural beings to encourage them to do it, and after trying hard finally got a big win and but to get it continued through the process even though he had experienced despair he continued to do it and finally got big win.
Actually I don't really believe in stories like that, but in fact there are so many stories like that.

I think 5$ spin is a really huge amount to bet with. You need some crazy lucky to go in profit with that amount plus you need a crazy amount of money to even bet. Congrats to this guy he better takes his girlfriend somewhere on a vacation. Im still even shocked that with 5$ spin/bet you can win such a crazy amount of money.

He must have been so lucky to win such hefty amount. The persistence of his girlfriend to ask him play and him doing the act of betting in slot made this happen. It almost seem impossible, but it happened. Indeed, it's really a matter of skills and luck altogether. Fate and odds must have been on his side and it's so powerful.

Hopefully, he will take good care of his winnings to secure his future because the amount he won is really big. With right management of it, he can achieve so many things. I just wish that despite winning this big, he won't be addicted and be consumed.

I don't want to ruin the "romantic notions" but this is a very common situation for many couples. If she viewed him as a short-term partner, then she absolutely does not care how he spends money. On the contrary, a relationship without commitment implies an openness to reckless actions. But now that he (or they?) are millionaires, perhaps her attitude will change.

I think the same, without a doubt that is a monster win that all of us as gamblers would like to experiment, but a 5 dollar bet per spin? That may not seem like a huge deal but taking into account how quickly you can spin a slot machine we could easily talk about spending 30 dollars per minute.

And I doubt there are many people that are earning so much money they can justify to spend so much money in a single game, especially when there are many other gambling games you can play which can give you as much fun with way less money.

$5 per spin are only for high rollers because they know what they can expect and know what they are up to, I can't think of betting $5 where I'm up to very big odds I prefer playing in dice game where I can bet lower and my chances are better compared to a slot, the winner of the lottery is lucky to have a girlfriend who motivates him to play, I think he should reward him for what she's done, he is indeed one lucky guy and his girl friend is his lucky charm.

That's why they are called high rollers in the first place because their average bet is not the common bet we see on the average gamblers.

I know RTP don' have an algorithm wherein the winning chance can affect by the bet per amount but from what I see, almost all jackpot winners came from crazy bets that the majority can't afford. High bet high rewards but we should also see jackpots from lower bets.

And multipliers like that for a crazy $5 per bet, I think only present at physical casinos. Correct me if I'm wrong with that statement.

I never thought of becoming the next millionaire from playing a luck-based game because the chances are so slim. I prefer to play as usual, with no intention to make money from gambling games but if I could win a lot, say $100 in one day, that would be a bonus prize. That way, I can enjoy luck-based games even if I don't use much money.

Yes, that's a huge win, even for other gamblers who have won gambling games several times. And I believe that is the greatest reward for him from the gambling game. Maybe it was an experiment for him but still, it's very risky because we don't know how much we have to spend to win really big money.

Not many people can make so much money because it is a game based on luck. Luck does not always come to many people and luck will surely choose the right person and come at the right time.

0.1% is too big, at least from my experience, and the magnitude of over 400,000x multiplier is just insane. For comparison, I play almost every week, but 1,000x+ win is so rare, probably I got it once every 3 months, and the max-win of 5,000x probably once in 1-2 years. The winning chance of getting that jackpot is almost 0, so that guy is extremely lucky  ;D

Probably never, but who knows...

Yeah, but it seems that this slot is the main attraction at the Tulalip Casino. The previous jackpot also reaches $1 million+, so it's been played a lot.

I disagree with this mate, luck is random, and sometimes the scummiest person can have better luck than us.

he must marry that girl now as she is the lucky charm.
2  years and counting until He made it there? what a very lucky man.
Damn , I only got to win x43 in my entire career but only bets 3 dollars that time lol.
if you have 100$ then that is only 2 spins?  but looking at this jackpot? yeah i will definitely try this lol.

That is why I say not many people, meaning only a few people can win, including the scummiest person, can make so much more money than us. I agree that luck is random and can come to anyone, including the scummiest person.

But somehow:

That guy really break the code of the slots and maybe become a legend among the other slotters hahaha ;D

It can cost you more than 100 dollars easily but your forgetting the fact that you can win over a million dollar. The reason why the price per spin is so high is because the jackpot is also high too but there are casino games which you can set the multiplier higher than what the multiplier won by the guy in the story. A few examples are mines, limbo and crash.

I might be missing more games here but you guys can comment down below if what are them. It's cool to have a supportive girlfriend but it would be more cooler if the she is the one that will give you cash to bet. Betting won't be a big problem then and I wouldn't mind betting 5 usd per spin. For someone that plays for fun, they wouldn't mind losing so his reaction can be neutral at all before he wins the jackpot.

It could be the case. Sometimes, those couple who aren't really into each other don't really mind the businesses of one another because they don't see any future plans with them. Maybe because they got turn off with the attitude and ways, but it's convenient to have them by their side, hence, break up does not happen. Or perhaps, they are that type of couple who are just supportive of one another.

It is also a possibility that they support each other so much even with the things they love doing such as their hobbies. This is what occurs in a healthy relationship. As long as both parties know their limitations, they won't really restrict or impose. Maybe his partner assures her that he won't go beyond the set boundaries such as spending beyond his financial capacity, that's why the girlfriend let's him do the betting.

They always say that the bigger the risks, the bigger chances of gaining huge winnings. $5 per spin is really huge, especially for small-time bettors and that will cost us a lot which could lead to huge losses but since they're willing to take the risk, their $5 cost has turned into millions. We could say that they're just lucky that day but I think it's their braveness to face the possible risks that brought them that wealth. Not everyone could have that courage though.

I just watched someone win 22.5 million dollars worth of BTC on a crypto casino yesterday.   Kinda amazing that win is 10x this one though that operation is global not just state wide.   That was also slots and also a large part of the winnings is previous betting over a year with very high 1k bets per spin so the maximum payout was all in order considering but still incredibly lucky.
  The clip of it for anyone who wants to watch, literally the whole screen was the Wild bonus: https://www.twitch.tv/trainwreckstv/clip/SmilingInquisitiveReubenImGlitch-kxaSlFv26JhL5qkW?filter=clips&range=24hr&sort=time

That's half of our minimum wage I don't think I will bet $5 for a spin here in our country the highest is $1, the slot is for entertainment only and it's like a wishing well or an instant lottery you have a chance to win but you are against thousands of odds that guy is just so lucky she should marry his girlfriend she is his lucky charm and with that amount they can live happily ever after.

Split your bet on various is best option to get some useful win.It’s chance of winning 1/10 is not an easy one.Many county minimum betting not more than a 1$ was an shocking news,In my country people start to bet with minimum of 10$.If you win,you will get by the more betting on that game.With all this,crypto betting was an unique as compared to the normal betting.

but seems like the winner did not act as what you are advising mate , because he spend his chance in single game but look how much he won here?

I know that this is a game of Luck but gambling should be for Luck though strategy needed as well.

__________________________________________

Congratulations to the Winner and hope that one day we will be having the same win or even smaller but at least jackpot  lol.

Without luck, no strategy will help you because all of them in the long run will lead to a loss, otherwise the casino would have gone bankrupt long ago. Some may play slots all their lives changing and improving their strategies and not win such a big win, and someone come to the casino for the first time and leave it with a large sum in his pocket. It's all about luck.

Any more info especially about how much he spent before he hit the jackpot? $5 per spin in slot game is a huge amount for regular players. I guess he has a huge bankroll as well because I think someone need to have at least few tens grand to play with that $5 per spin. Or he was really luck player who spent few hundreds $$ only before he hit the jackpot. It is a rare case indeed but it may happen when he had the huge luck.

Will they live happily ever after, winnings are so huge and money that comes unexpectedly can turn either into a disaster or something beautiful can come out, I have read a lot of stories where guys suddenly change after getting big bucks and just enjoy all winnings by buying and partying, I hope partners are responsible to take care of their winnings and create a happy and stable family with that huge winning.

Judging from the article, he should be a rather frequent visitor of the casino. Plus, I don't think a person who has a girlfriend that says go play on a slots in a casino is someone who doesn't frequent it to the point where his gf knows and even encourages it. Probably lost a ton really, but I don't think it'd be enough to equal to the amount he won, that's an insane amount after all. Proably why a lot of gamblers like to gamble (and lose) really, you can turn around everything with one big win.

That is something they can't document or recorded. Even we, are not doing it that way. Impossible to know exactly the figures but should not be a big deal.

I think the winner has only a fair amount from their bankroll and luck struck them nicely leading to a big win.

Huge luck, there's no other explanation to that since slots is a game where no strategy is applied.

Indeed if you are lucky you will win the jackpot in one spin. And the application of a strategy in the game of chance requires a large budget, however, you cannot achieve victory, perhaps your balance will run out and make you plan again, but to no avail.
Personally I like to apply some strategies with bet less than 0.5$ sometimes I make some profit that makes me happy but it is not effective in the long run and I don't plan to win the jackpot because running after rich makes us lose a lot of money!!!

I don't think it makes any difference how much he spent before he won or how much bankroll he had. We're not likely to repeat this guy's story. So we can only envy and sincerely congratulate him on this victory. And he should appreciate his girlfriend, without whom he would have missed this chance.

well I must agree because we are talking about SLot game here that we surely Knew is  a LUCK BASED GAME , but still if you don't use strategy( like mine to Know when to stop and when to continue) i must say it is still a strategy to learn and act, because no matter how lucky you are this day yet there is limitation and if you don't stop in a certain time then surely you will loss all of your winnings in the start of the game.

Then I believe it is safe to say that to be able to get the chance to win in slot game a gambler or player should have a combination of knowledgeable in strategy and luck at the same time. However, not all the time the luck was always on our side right, there are also time that we really gonna face a bad luck in our gambling journey. So I must say that this man who win the largest slot in Washington state did made a history by this lucky day.

Then this will become a wedding of the year as I'm sure that winner will marry that girl in all churches around the world and will be thankful for her forever.

There is only once in a billion chances for this to happen and thankful that his Girlfriend bring this luck to and now he will forever be grateful to what can become from this winning.

Congratulation for this win .

The sensible thing after being so lucky on a gamble win is to do the complete opposite and put the fast money into a kind of debt like the house mortgage so you increase your security after taking such a big risk and coming out on top.   Do that and I can believe the happily after story, of course you can gamble still but I would not let that money burn a hole in your pocket.    The other thing would be max out a pension contribution, its a certain cost in future and a good use for the money.

Hopefully, the scenario will be like that so that everything will end well and he will be happy with the girl. Maybe it's not necessary to celebrate it in a big way but it's quite simple and I'm sure, with that much money, he can prepare for their future well without feeling short of money. It would be even better if he and his girlfriend could set up a business run by them so they could earn more money and not have to repeat gambling. Hopefully, there will be more news about the pair to know what they did after that big win.

Personally as long as you are betting an amount of money that you can afford to lose the way and the amount of each bet should not be relevant, after all if you have a monthly budget of 100 dollars for gambling, then what difference does it make that you make 100 one dollar bets or that you make one bet of 100 dollars?

At the end you are spending the same amount of money, now some may argue that the person that made the most bets got the most fun, but that is up to debate, as the one that made the single bet of 100 dollars probably got way more excitement from their bet than the one that made so many smaller bets.

Aside from the excitement that you can get when you bet huge, if you get lucky you can also win huge but the chance is going to be lot lesser. Those who bet small on the other hand will have a higher chance to win but the profit that they can get is going to be less but I think this won't really matter to them because they are only gambling for fun in the first place.

Winning can only be considered as a bonus for them and they are going to be thankful if ever they win. This is a slot game and not a sports betting so I don't think having a strategy is applicable here or can't work effectively but slot games is usually based on luck.

The game of slots is based only on luck and the probability that your winnings depend on the bet is not quite right. Whether or not you win, and how much if you do, is laid down in the slot machine algorithm, which can vary depending on the profit of the gambling site and its attendance. So hoping that you will win the jackpot making minimum bets is an illusion, which will be destroyed upon finding out that your pockets are empty.

In this kind of game which we called as a luck-based game we can't solely rely on your skills because sometimes or most of the times a sole skills will not going to work out that's why in this kind of slot games luck is always a perfect combination with skills. But for me those huge bettor in a slot games or in a luck-based game is only for high risk takers gamblers and bettor who has a unlimited amount of money that they are willing or afford to lose, well in my case I'm just a small time bettors for slot games.

There is one obvious difference - the duration of gambling. If you bet your entire bank on the first bet, you can immediately lose and your entertainment is over. If you use bankroll management, then you can stretch the time of gambling almost indefinitely. I am not a supporter of extreme solutions, but in my opinion, if a person wants to enjoy gambling, he needs to make more than one or two bets.

It is all about gambling style orang betting style.
Lets say my budget for a month is $100, I will not found a $100 bet definetely as it is not my betting style.
Since we are talking about slot I prefer to play the game with smaller bets as I can do more bets because the outcome is unpredictable so playing with single bet of $100 with $100 bank roll is just a crazy move.

surely it will because they both deserve such happiness together , they risked their Money together and without hesitation if followed what His Girlfriend says so what about paying her back to become a married couple  ;D
and also they have the funds so what hinders them to het married? I'm sure that is part of the plan and since they already won huge amount then there is nothing can stop them from getting what they both deserve lol.

If you spin on it for $5 the question is how many spin you need to get the jackpot ? Or should i say "if however you get the jackpot since it's a game of luck.  :D
To be honest that's why i am not a fan of such games, because it's so fast no thrill and you can easily blow your money in it in just a minute..

In my opinion, the jackpot does not depend on how many spins you make or what bet you use. Rather, it depends on how much money the slot machine has collected over a certain time interval, and all this is regulated by the algorithm. So don't count on one strategy to help you hit the jackpot. In slots you can only rely on luck.

your question is contradicting mate because you clearly says it is a Game of Luck then why ask if how many bets and how many rolls needed for this to be won?
remember that once we talk about luck? this is something that none can explain nor predict .
then you must not gamble at all, because winning is part of gambling but most chances are to lose so best to know that .

There is no right answer because that will need more than one spin unless you are the lucky person who can win that jackpot in just one spin. That rarely happens to most people who play gambling because usually, people need to play for some time until they can hit the winning. But the winning mostly is not too big, and that will depend on your luck.

Well, I think that is his fate that's why he is so very lucky that specific day and the fact that his girlfriend was the one who urged him to play that slot machine is already a miracle using her. I bet many have been playing that slot machine in hopes that maybe they're the one who could strike that jackpot but no, that jackpot is for the self-employed painter.

I would try it for a few spins but I'd call it quits after I burned $50 dollars on it. Honestly I never felt so lucky in my life even once that I think I would die if I hit one win even at 100x multiplier. That man may have been destined to win that jackpot from the get-go, and his girlfriend is just the final push for him to make the said bet. The dude is a regular, as per reports from the casino and news, and hopefully he doesn't blow all of his winnings in hopes of winning even more.

$5 is too much cost per spin for most people. But no one forces you to make such big bets, for example, if you choose a bet size of 5 cents, then from every 5 dollars you will have 100 spins to enjoy the game. As for the jackpot, you have already been correctly written that the algorithm is set up in such a way that the jackpot will happen when the machine receives a certain amount of money and not when a certain number of spins are made.

Wow! That's a huge win. I guess it's a life changing amount for him. However, there's no much info about his gambling habits though. It would be great to see how often he does play.

That's why a movie called "JANNAT" has a script like, "If you don’t have queen in the real life, you are unlikely to get one in cards." That's after losing a big hand playing blind Teen Patti; The guy got A,K,J. Getting a Q would get won the hand.[/list]

That must be nice movie about gambling and it was a nice line too but it applies only to that game because other card games don't need a queen to win and the king card are usually more powerful among the other cards. A queen in real life doesn't only means a girl that will allow you to play gambling but she can be good at anything. She knows how to cook food, takes care of you, loyal to you, etc.

We don't know the lifestyle of the guy so we can't tell if the amount he won is life changing for him for now because what if the guy is already wealthy? every wealthy dudes can spend huge amount playing gambling in a risky odd.

Let's do a high five or fist bump with that mate! ;D I too didn't got so lucky about getting some huge returns on playing slot machine or even win big in a lottery ticket. Although I did accept already that I didn't belong to those few who won and for those who will about to win it, let's just leave it like that.
But this man, he just go so lucky and I'm happy for him because the fate knew that he needed it the most, surely that helped him a lot as the the link is saying that he is self-employed.

^ It seems I saw myself both of you, I don't why when it comes to gambling I did not have lucky enough to win a huge amount, probably because I am not frequent into gambling especially this offline slot that needs a huge amount of capital. I never win or hit jackpot in my whole life and also most of my bets either online or offline is always has resulted in a loss. The man who won in Washington was very lucky, that is a huge amount, and if I were in his place, I will never stop gambling and spare my winning to gamble again.

Awesome win no doubt! I play slots with $5 sometimes, but I didn't have the luck hitting anything big in those moments! I play with $0.2-$2 usually, I like to play different slots, with a lower or higher max win or RTP, everything depends on the current moods!

Far from x400k, but x1k is also good when it happens at a $2 bet! ;) Legendary win BTCGosu weekly competition (https://www.btcgosu.com/win-images/legendary-win/)

The guy is a self-employed painter and if he is not a famous painter I don't think he is wealthy that winning is a life-changing for a non CEO guy he could be earning thousands of dollars in his painting and that's a lot of work for one painting so winning millions in one slot is sure to change his lifestyle for the rest of his life, he could be painting for recreation now and not painting for money anymore, his winning will take care of him for the rest of his life.

Actually, most of the people in this world, let's say 80-85 percent of it is not lucky when it comes to gambling or hitting any jackpots with small to huge amounts. In fact, there's only very few people who have been lucky enough to get the prize money or have hit the jackpot. Let's just accept that because I also do experienced the same loss and we ain't belong to those few selected to get that.

Maybe that's the reason why you didn't get lucky in the first place because if you win that, you'll only bring that money back to the casino ;D Remember that hitting the jackpot will only come once in your whole lifetime, so make the right decision.

Obviously that was an extreme example, however I think the logic still stands, as long as our money management is tight and we never go over it then how frequently do we bet and the size of the bet itself are not relevant at all as long as we get what we want out of gambling.

However, I agree with you that spending every single dollar that we have allowed ourselves to gamble in a single bet is not a good idea, but in theory even that style of gambling could still be done in a responsible manner under the right circumstances.

And there is one more case when it is reasonable to bet all the money in one bet: if we want to win. As you know, the casino has a small advantage (around one percent, but for some games a little more), but at a distance, the value of this advantage becomes gigantic. Therefore, the chance to win with a single bet of 100 dollars (for example, doubling) is several times higher than the chance of winning (doubling the pot) by making 100 bets of one dollar each.

Well, sometimes it is good to know our limits, it would be a lie for me to ensure that I would continue playing even after losing 50USD, because I know that as I am I would lose much more, really when there are this type of gains it depends a lot on the personality of those who play, there are people who really don't mind being totally bankrupt in the game or simply losing everything, that is why some who have not so big money balances lose everything and probably in 1 or 2 more plays they would have hit the jackpot, but that's the way the game is, there are people who are more reckless and who play it with everything.
