We have had several:

$10k on $5 10X machine at Ballys AC
$6K on $5 double diamond Trop AC
$3000 on $1 5x Wheel of Fortune Ballys AC
$7500 on $5 Sevens machine Harrahs NOLA
$2500 on Red Hot Sevens two weeks ago Borgata

Now, I'll tell you this. We enjoy playing. This was over several YEARS. One time, I was at Diamond Cove in Harrahs AC. A player had hit $62500 on a $25 triple diamond machine. I congratulated him. His response, "Now I am only down $15k this weekend."

Wins are nice, but never and indicator of long term success or failure.

So true. However, didn't think starting a separate thread of how much a "contribution" one made would generate much interest :D.

Its like when the Casino Services Rep is giving you your confirmation number.

Let say its GCL1234.

She would say G as in "Good" C as in "casino" and L as in "lucky". I asked once, "Why don't you say L as in "Loser"?" Not very popular:D

Wins listed above in red were actually mine. :)

So true, the gambling Gods always seem to get the last word.

So were the jackpots due to the "Lucky" brand jeans? If so, I'm going to change my whole wardrobe :p.

OMG, that's amazing. I mean, what are the odds of that happening...? :D

Just play video poker every weekend for 8 years and eventually you'll hit. :D
