Gambler bets 88 cents on slot machine — then wins big jackpot at Las Vegas casino

A gambler sat at a slot machine, bet some change and won a big jackpot at a casino in Las Vegas.

Now, the player is $10,667.54 richer.

The visitor sat at a Triple Supreme slot machine at the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino, the casino said in a Feb. 24 post on X, formerly known as the Twitter.

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

Then a jackpot message appeared saying the player had won thousands of dollars.

This wasn’t the only slot machine win at the casino.

Another player bet 88 cents on a Dancing Drums Golden Drums slot machine and won more than $22,000, the casino said in a Feb. 21 Facebook post.

Boulder Station Hotel & Casino is a less than 10-mile drive northeast from the Las Vegas Strip.
