re: Have you ever won big at the casino?

A few times but what I considered big at the time wasn't OT Baller status. Slots I was playing with $100. At a quarter machine but I was betting 5 lines a pull. I'd get up a little then down a little. Played about a half hour and hit an $800 jackpot. Stuck $700 in my pocket and played with $100 again and ended up losing most of it.

And one time playing craps. I was down to almost nothing from playing different games. Had like $20 left from the $200 I brought. This was at a bachelor party for my brother in law at the Silver Star and the guys taught me how to play Craps. When we left I was up to $600. Not bad when I was about to quit and just watch them and drink.

Another time at the Golden Moon when I was in MS for work. We played blackjack for about an hour or so and most of my coworkers went on to bed. I walked over to the Silver Star to play craps and ended up walking away when I was up $500.

I have a 2nd cousin that won $980,000 on the slots in Vagas about 20 years ago. The casino threw in what was needed to make it a cool million.

I really doubt the Casino gave him $20k to make it a million just for fun

CSB about the poster OMLandshark. He was kicked out of one of the Tunica casinos in college for a fake ID and on the way out they were being forceful with him and he says “Chill out, it’s not like I have a gun or something!”

Well, they put the “disturbance” in their system as a “gun threat” and tagged it to the picture of his face in their facial recognition software. They also didn’t tell him they were doing this.

5 years later, we are at the same casino, of age, for a bachelor party. We are sitting there playing blackjack and within 5 minutes of sitting down a big group of security came and grabbed OMLandshark from our table. The facial recognition software pinged him as a “gun threat” and that carries a lifetime ban. For the entire weekend he couldn’t step foot onto the casino floor

Awesome

Never hit big money but have had several nice wins of $2500 plus playing blackjack. My best was in the $4000 range. However I have also dropped several thousand on a few trips.

I waste lots of money on slots sometimes after winning a few hundred on blackjack nowadays trying to hit a big payout. I still remember losing $400 on a $1 slot in about 10 minutes. It doesn't take long at all on those things for your money to disappear.

Yes, when I worked for the casino owner. We won over $300,000 per day, every day of the year, at the Horseshoe in Bossier City, and another $250,000 per day in Tunica. That taught me pretty quick the unlikelihood of walking out of the casino a big winner.

When I won my $10K on the quarter slots, they gave me a W-2G right there on the spot.

Won $1000 on Monday at lauberge

6-700 on roulette is my best, saw a guy Saturday hit the progressive jackpot at Paragon in Marksville for 2 mil on a penny slot.

Most I've ever won was $350 playing black jack

The next time I went to the casino I lost $200 of those winnings in about 15 minutes.
