One "lucky guest" indeed
One guest at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood bet $3 at a slot machine and won a $2.3 million jackpot just in time for the holiday season. The "lucky guest" won the jackpot on Scientific Games’ “Twin Fire Featuring Quick Hit and Hot Spot" machine on Tuesday. "The guest was playing the penny machine and had wagered a $3 bet before the jackpot was won," the casino said in a statement. "The jackpot marks the highest payout in the Hollywood casino’s history. The guest requested to remain anonymous." The casino described the winner as a loyal guest who frequents the establishment with family.
“I feel I’m always luckier here than I am in Las Vegas, and now I can certainly say that," the guest said in a statement.
Ooops! ‘Broken’ machine, wont pay.
What a racket - it’s a tax on stupidity
Hopefully, this is not one of those states that demands the winner go on TV to accept a giant sized check.
I would not tell a soul, at least not the full amount that I won. Only me, the casino and the IRS need to know about it.
More like a transfer of wealth scheme.
My first thought, as well.
Ya, waiting for the follow-up where the casino says, “Sorry, it was a mistake”.
After they grew up, I started going to Las Vegas. Spent less money and had more fun.
"Ward, you're pissing me off. Now you're insulting my intelligence; what you think I am, a _____n' idiot? You know ______mn well that someone had to get into those machines and set those ____in' reels. The probability of one four-reel machine is a million and a half to one; the probability of three machines in a row; it's in the billions! It cannot happen, would not happen, you ____n' momo! What's the matter with you? Didn't you see you were being set up on the second win?"
Yeah but this “stupid person” just got a hell of a tax return!
“a loyal guest who frequents the establishment with family.”
Means he/she will be back to lose it all.......
Too many gays at both.
At 3 dollars a shot it may take awhile.
Oh no.....Mr/Mrs Luckypants will be laying stacks of $20 chips on the roulette table next week.
You watch, $1M after taxes, broke by next year.
Singing “Pennies From Heaven for Me and Me”.
Not from heaven.
Really Lucky if they actually collect the cash.
Yes, but it’s all voluntary.
