Resorts World Guest Wins Over $11 Million Jackpot with a $5 Bet
Unbelievable Jackpot Win at Resorts World Las Vegas
A fortunate visitor at Resorts World Las Vegas recently scored an astonishing jackpot exceeding $11 million. This guest was simply in town to visit family and ended up hitting the massive prize on a modest $5 bet.
Early one morning, after playing for just around fifteen minutes, the player struck the jackpot on the famous gaming floor located on the iconic Las Vegas Strip.
First Ever Megabucks Jackpot at Resorts World
This monumental win marks the very first Megabucks jackpot at Resorts World in Las Vegas. The game’s odds stood at an incredible 1 in 50 million, making this a truly rare and exciting event.
The casino enthusiastically shared the news on social media, congratulating the winner and celebrating this historic moment.
The Enormous Megabucks Mega Vault Jackpot
The lucky guest’s winning moment came on the IGT Megabucks Mega Vault slot machine, with the jackpot totaling exactly $11,143,660.87. This marks a significant milestone, as it had been months since the last Megabucks jackpot was paid out, the previous one being in mid-February.
The Megabucks jackpot is progressive, meaning the prize pool grows steadily over time as more players take their chance. In Nevada, every new jackpot win resets the prize to $10 million, which then accumulates again with continued play.
When it comes to collecting winnings, players often have options: they can either accept a lump-sum payout or choose an annuity spread out over 25 years, which affects how taxes are applied to the winnings.
Recent Big Wins Across Las Vegas
The spectacular win at Resorts World is not an isolated incident. Earlier this year, at the Virgin River Casino & Lodge in Mesquite, another player also landed a $12 million jackpot following a $5 wager.
Meanwhile, the Venetian casino has seen several impressive jackpot wins recently. One guest won over $1.1 million playing slots, while in the same month, two other visitors claimed substantial prizes — a record $3.8 million win in Texas Hold’em and a $1.5 million victory on Pai Gow.
