a handful of Vegas gamblers have taken home millions of dollars in combined jackpot winnings

While this is certainly good news for the purses of operators up and down the Strip, some players have also managed to turn a tidy profit. In less than one month, a handful of Vegas gamblers have taken home millions of dollars in combined jackpot winnings.

VegasSlotsOnline News has arranged these recent jackpot prizes into a top five list, ranging from the $207,691 prize bagged by a Stations Casino bingo player to a recent $10.5m slot machine pull at South Point Casino.

1) South Point’s $10.5m slot win

A New Mexico tourist visiting South Point Casino in the southwest Las Vegas valley sealed the ultimate prize on Monday. The gambler won a staggering $10.5m Megabucks jackpot from one slot pull after investing just $5 into the machine.

South Point took to Twitter later that day to confirm the news:

According to the casino operator, the gambler’s eye-watering prize represents the largest Megabucks jackpot won in Nevada so far this year.

2) Alaskan goes home a multimillionaire

South Point’s Megabucks winner was not the only tourist lucky enough to secure a multimillion-dollar jackpot over the past few days. A tourist from Alaska took home more than $2.1m on Sunday after hitting the jackpot on a Monopoly Millionaire slot machine at the Cosmopolitan.
