Gambler bets $6 on slot machine — then hits big jackpot at Connecticut casino
A gambler walked away from a Connecticut casino with a big jackpot prize.
The lucky visitor sat at an Ultimate Fire Link Double Explosion slot machine at Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, the casino said in a July 2 Facebook post.
The player bet $6, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen.
Then a jackpot message appeared saying the gambler had won $294,361.10.
“What’s more exciting than seeing that blue box pop up?” the casino said in the post.
Dozens of people commented on the Facebook post congratulating the winner.
“Congrats. I wish I would win when I go to Mohegan sun,” one person wrote.
“Wish it was me. I would love to say won a jackpot at least once up there,” another person said.
“Love seeing this! Congratulations to the lucky winner!” someone else said.
The Mohegan Sun is in Uncasville, about a 45-mile drive southeast from Hartford.
