Big jackpots in A.C.

While Old Man Winter nailed the East Coast with a pile of snow and hurricane like winds last weekend, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City experienced their own sort of blizzard — a Blizzard of Jackpots.

One of them was a guest from Long Island New York, who turned a $50 bet on a Dragon Link Panda Magic slot machine into $1,362,883. The unnamed patron played 25 lines at $2 a pop.

And in the same weekend, another lucky guest, this one from Wayne, New Jersey, won $1,043,287 playing Three Card Poker. The casino didn’t say how much he originally bet, but he won the Royal Flush progressive jackpot with a $5 bonus bet.

They also didn’t want their name released. Congrats to both of these players!

Half-milly won at Thunder Valley Casino

One spin on a penny slot machine at Thunder Valley Casino Resort was worth more than a half a million dollars on Monday.

The guest turned a spin of $3.75 into $546,789.07 while playing the Dollar Storm Mega Grand Link-Wild Ninja slot machine, according to the casino. Can’t forget that seven cents.

“Our guest clearly didn’t bring the Sunday Scaries into Monday,” said Thunder Valley General Manager Dawn Clayton. “Turning a penny spin into a jackpot is a pretty great way to start the week.”

For sure!

The California casino is home to 3,500 slot machines, 80 tables games, and poker room. A 17-story, 408-room hotel gives guests to stay on campus, while 11 restaurants give them places to dine.

Mohegan Sun home to six-figure win

Meanwhile, earlier this month in Connecticut, a player turned a $17.50 bet into a $113,167.77 jackpot playing a game called Big Hot Flaming Pots Tasty Treasures and Delicious Delights.

The game, which, according to MassLive, features a chef with “yummy, spicy, and upsized” pots he cooks in, paid out the jackpot to the unknown player Feb. 6.

Big Hot Flaming Pots Tasty Treasures is a game that was introduced in 2024. It features a 3×5 playing grid with 243 ways to win, with a Hold & Spin mechanic, a chef wild symbol, and three pot bonuses (Yummy, Upsized, Spicy), that fit within the hibachi theme.

Made Light and Wonder, it’s won of their many Asian-themed machines that also find their way online.

And now I’m hungry for Chinese food.
