Day after day people return to slot machines with the hopes of a big win.  There is nothing wrong with that as long as the impulses to gamble remain healthy.  And with stories like the one that just came out of Oregon, its hard not to believe that one day you will be the lucky person that plays the right slot machine at the right moment and be the recipient of an insane jackpot.

A woman in from Hillsboro, Oregon was playing the Penny Wheel of Fortune slot machine and the Three Rivers Casino and Hotel in Florence, Oregon.  When she left the casino she was over $5 million richer than when she walked in. 

At this moment the woman remains anonymous and her name is unknown.  But the casino was able to share her remarkably lucky story.  That’s exactly what it takes to be successful at slot machines, remarkable luck.

When the woman saw the three Wheel of Fortune symbols line up, she was excited about her win but still unwitting about the actual magnitude of her victory.  She was sure her jackpot would have only been $60, $600 at the most.  The slot machine simply told her to contact a casino attendant.

After spending less than an hour in the casino and only making a $4 wager, the woman went home with an additional $5 million.

The Penny Wheel of Fortune slot machine as a part of a progressive jackpot network linked to slot machines all throughout the West Coast.  The woman’s $5,284,316 win is the largest win in the history of the casinos.  Prior to that, the record was only $1.3 million.
