What better way to get into the festive spirit is by winning big when playing at a casino, well that is what several Las Vegas casino visitors have managed to do over the weekend, and have beaten the odds to walk off with some huge jackpots playing various different casino games.
Take for example one woman called Barbara, she was whiling away the hours playing progressive Pai Gow Poker over at the Aliante Hotel and Casino in North Las Vegas yesterday, when her bonus side bet paid off big style and she was dealt out the progressive jackpot paying hand combination, that being the seven-card straight flush, which secured her a huge $242,173 pay-out.
Over in the Downtown area of Las Vegas at this time of year there are plenty of things to do and see, and a walk up and down Fremont Street is something many visitors to Vegas will be doing over the next few days to take in the Christmas atmosphere that part of Vegas exudes.
Two players that did visit Downtown and wandered into the Golden Nugget are glad they did just that for one player bagged a huge $20,000 playing the Tens Times Pay 3 reel slot and another player playing a $10 stake video poker game also won $20,000 thanks to them being dealt out four 3’s with a 2 card kicker.
The Orleans was another casino that made one gamblers Christmas come a few days early for that player was playing their low stake 25-cent Triple Play Poker machine and hit the top hand which paid out a whopping $18,571 jackpot.
Lady Luck was also smiling on one player over at The Cannery, that player managed to achieve the almost impossible that being winning the Grand progressive jackpot on the Dragon Link slot which rewarded that player with a huge $11,127.51 on the spot jackpot pay-out.
