The Largest Slots Win in Washington State History

[Oasisman]

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.

[harizen]

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

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.  

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.

[judeafante]

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.

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.

• So lucky he has "holy" girlfriend who told him to play slots

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.

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
FYI DOA 2 only has 111,111x max-win, and it's so tough.

$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.

A Lynnwood man won a $2.4 million jackpot this weekend, the largest slot machine win at any casino in state history.

Jose Lopez, of Lynnwood, won $2,369,748.95 shortly after midnight on March 20 at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

The $2.4 million jackpot shattered the previous jackpot record of $1,101,976.12.

Lopez, a self-employed painter, was urged by his girlfriend to play the Golden Charms progressive slot machine.

Trivia:

• So lucky he has "holy" girlfriend who told him to play slots
• This grand jackpot previous win is dated Februari 8, 2020, so it's more than two years of waiting until the jackpot triggered again.
• To participate, simply play with $5/spin
• He won 473,949.79x multiplier!

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.

[bitzizzix]

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.
