Yes, four million $ was won at the Sahara on a "Wheel of Fortune" quarter machine. The two said they had invested just $80-$100 and thought they had won only 4 million quarters.

Four million quarters isn't too sloppy, either.<vbg>

Beth,
That's a pretty sizeable jackpot!!!! I didn't think those machines paid out that much? Guess I'll have to look them over next time<G>

I'll tell you what amazes me! People playing these big jackpot machines, and investing some cash into playing them and then having no idea what they won when they hit!!!

Maybe it's my VP training...but I alway know exactly what I'm playing for. Hmmm.

I wonder how many coin buckets it would take to haul 4,000,000 quarters to the coin redemption window. [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Markl,

And God Bless the poor souls who I've seen drop the coin buckets on the way to the redemption window.<vbg> I've been in a ladies' room when someone has dropped the bucket with dollars. Talk about rolling everywhere!!

I just recently won 960 quarters at the Taj in A.C. and did not want to be late to meet a friend for lunch at Showboat. So, I took my two full cups and toted them to the Showboat. My thoughts were: "What if I stumble or someone trips me?". Guess I would have opted to be late had it been 4 million.<vbg>
