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.

ā€œOur guest clearly didn’t bring the Sunday Scaries into Monday,ā€ said Thunder Valley General Manager Dawn Clayton. ā€œTurning a penny spin into a jackpot is a pretty great way to start the week.ā€

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.

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 ā€œyummy, spicy, and upsizedā€ 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.
