LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) – A guest at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas who won the jackpot on a slot machine three times in one night has won big for the fourth time.

Officials with Caesars Entertainment said the rewards member won $692,500 on a Dragon Link slot machine in the early morning hours Thursday.

This big win comes just 10 days after the same guest won a total of $667,750 on March 26 while playing the same Dragon Link slot machines.

Officials said the player won three separate jackpots in one night.

The first was worth $125,000, the second $383,500, and finally $159,250, totaling $667,750 in one night.

Adding the earnings from the fourth big win Thursday night, the guest won a total of more than $1.3 million.

Talk about luck!

I just finished binge watching five seasons of the show Las Vegas. The house will figure out what this guy was doing.

A great show by the way. Hell will freeze over before another show like it is made.

Maybe its the guy who set the slot machine up? They can all be adjusted for odds.
They could be working as a team.

Think I remember that show...dunno about you, but the gorgeous babes had a lot to do with my watching it.

Agreed...they'll figure it out.

Big payout machines are linked to a network of Casinos who fund them over time. There is a whole network of LV folks who track those machines payout history. I witnessed a machine which hadn't paid out in 20 years hit a $1M+ payout. The staff said the machine got identified and those who knew networked together to play until payout. 10% tip to all the staff.

They are all computers with programs, I suspect there is someone in the industry that set these machines up to payout on certain combos of plays. Or there is a known “hack/backdoor” that was originally used for testing that pays out.

Interesting to know if they were all on Dragonlink machines…

Probability statistics is what the whole gig is based upon, The Casino's have to know and trust the system or nobody wins.
