Two Friends Win $913,940 Slots Jackpot At Regina Casino
August 12, 2010 5:40 amTwo Canadian friends were celebrating their incredible fortune after hitting a massive jackpot on The Monte Carlo slot machine on Sunday Aug 1st.
However, things didn’t start off all that well for Jesse and Brandon who had been losing steadily on the roulette wheel at the Casino Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada on the Saturday afternoon.
After leaving the casino, the pair determined to return later on the same evening to see if their luck had changed and when they did their eyes were drawn towards the Monte Carlo slot machine.
Having played the slot regularly in the past, the duo decided to try a few spins after the machine became available for practically the first time the whole of the night.
What happened next would subsequently change the two men in their 20’s lives forever, as their $40 gamble was enough to hit the $913,940 jackpot, netting them both a cool $456,970 a piece.
After scooping the life changing amount, Brandon confessed to feeling more than a little stunned by their extreme good fortune and said:
“I was extremely shocked. I didn’t say too much for the entire night. I was up until about 5 a.m. just sitting there.”
The jackpot on the Monte Carlo slot machine had not been hit since May 2008 and the huge pay-out was the biggest amount won in the 14-year history of the casino. It was also one of the largest paid out by a slot machine in Canada.
