The LCB Shop Has Launched

Well, what can i say.

Am i allowed to say my Jackpot Party Progressive win i had , when i made that thread about it in this forum

https://lcb.org/article/lcb-member-hits-jackpot-party-progressive

https://lcb.org/onlinecasinobonusforum/casinos/withdrew-3-020-today-from-jackpot-party/

And it even stated what i spent the money on

But i will say this was my biggest pot of gold i had too when i won the jackpot party progressive the 3 star one,

I was actually in a very good winning mode the few days before hitting it too, and on the day in question i was just randomly trying different slots doing 10 or 20 spins then moving onto the next slot, and then i opened Riches of the amazon, and after about 15 or 20 spins i got the awesome jackpot progressive screen up, there was also a youtube video of it but it got removed, because it was uploaded to one of the support staffs youtube account and not the official jackpot party youtube account.

Anyway yes so that is the story of my win,

I basically then went on to spend it on numerous things,m a new computer i also helped my family out a bit and just had an awesome time, went out for a few meals and just had wicked time gambling some of it back into jackpot party website too off course hahaha,

But i can tell you, it was the best time i ever had spending all that money, i never had that much money ever in my life, it was such an awesome thing and awesome buzz.

Just wish we could win like this more often instead of maybe once in a lifetime - but who knows we can maybe win big again 1 day.

I hope this qualifies Lips and LCB, it is my best story i have

And thanks again for the contest and chance to finally see what the LCB shop will look like once it launches (cough cough -- long over due hahaha)

Thanks for the contest.

I can't really say too many things about a jackpot win as I never won a jackpot online and when I won a jackpot offline, I was already at a loss.

I sometimes play the fruit machines in pubs here. They are compensated machines which means if they go too far below the payout percent, they will suddenly pay big amounts to catch up to the payout percentage that the machine is set at. It's not as good as it sounds really though. These machines notoriously can eat up £2-£300 just to pay a £100 jackpot.

That 1 day I had a few drinks with friends and felt like playing on the deal or no deal fruit machine at £1 a spin. After less than £5 put in I was put on the main board right away and the main deal or no deal feature offered £60. I believed that was a good sign that the machine was relatively close to paying the £100 jackpot so I didn't take it and just carried on until I got "game over" with no win.

For some reason the machine then suddenly became really tight and it was taking me £20 or so worth of spins to get onto the main game board.

I think I had put about £90 in and still when I got onto the main game board it was offering nowhere near the £60 it originally offered. I knew I could walk away and accept a £90 loss or risk it to try and win some back for damage limitation.

So I was up to about £160 put in, got on the board and suddenly the "Go all the way" message popped up. This means you are invincible and can carry on going round the main game board until you hit the biggest prize.

The biggest prize which is above a £100 jackpot is the "Mega Streak". That feature spins a set of winning spins in on the main reels. If you get it, you are guaranteed the £100 jackpot in winning spins but there is a good chance of it giving a few more winning spins on top of that.

I was really hoping for something nice when the mega streak started up. After £100 was accumulated in the spins, I was hoping it would carry on for another £100 and because it carried on after paying £100, I thought it was going to. However it had paid about £20 extra and the spins ended .

So I ended up taking £120 out which left me £40 down overall. It was damage limitation. After cashing it out though, I still had to take £120 in £1 coins to the bar and exchange them into notes .

Well, my story isn't so great, it does not involve a jackpot win but it was a big amount for me, never managed to win such an amount at online poker, because, sincerely, i thought that the software is rigged or it has something against me, lol. It's about 430+ Euros i've won at Coral Poker. It all started when i received an e-mail with 10E free to try them out (don't think it was from them, just an affiliate or something) so i registered, sent in my documents, all got approved in like 3 days. Started playing SNG's tournaments, didn't do great, and before i knew it in the first day i had only almost 7E left. Then, the same day.. i saw the E1,000 TOP GEAR Tournament and the E1,500 TOP GEAR Tournament and decided to give it a try, only 0.50 E tournament buy-in (1000 chips and unlimited rebuys during the first hour + addon at the both tourneys). Managed to enter at the first tourney (E1,000), started around 7 PM(maybe it's changed, haven't played it in a while) and i only did a rebuy during the first hour + addon. It was a terrible long way to the final table, the tournament lasted until 3 or 4 AM but i did managed to win it and i was so happy! Next day, under the influence of winning my first tournament + the adrenaline, I decided to enter the 1,500E tournament and i don't know how the hours passed away but i was at the final table again.. this time finishing second place. So.. that being said, that's my biggest win at online poker, it isn't that much but it felt great. I cashed out and it was in my Skrill account by the next day and I used the money to pay my school taxes for the whole year. So.. no money invested, luck on my side = great winnings:D. I hope this qualifies ( I know it doesn’t compare to Zuga’s big poker win:)) ), I don't have another story.. never went big on cashouts but.. life is long, who know what will it happen in the near or distant future? Thanks for an amazing contest, lips, Zuga, LCB!

P.S : Still don't have a Redeem Credits button.

My most memorable win ever was in 2012 I had bought a £50 Ukash, having ran terrible on the slots I knew my luck just had to change! I entered the ukash at comeon and got to work starting with Subtopia. I started off really careful at just 9x2 and just somehow kept hitting free spins with nothing really to write home about.

I went down in cash to around £20 this is when I went on Crime Scene(only for its amazing bonus game) triggered it after a while plugging away and picked up a small profit at min bet. On the back this I went a level higher on the back of ok wins pretty soon I was at 45p a spin. I got the bonus round again at this level this time I just seemed to pick the absolute gold symbols! great multipliers etc! turning my then £20-30 balance into just over a £100 as I just picked all the best symbols! I just knew it was going to be my day by this point so I went back to subtopia.

Starting off at 27p a spin 9x3p hit free spins they still weren't great, now I don't know what hit me here but I decided to really go for it. My thought process was I know this game has serious potential and have had nothing big yet it just has to pay! So I did go for it raising my bet to 9linesx10p I kept betting at 90p.

My balance was down to around £85 then the free spins hit!! My excitement right then was just not measurable! Within the first few spins nothing hit then it went up to 4x multiplier and I hit about £115 in one go already a great hit and was thinking "if this is it that's still an ok result" But it wasn't all it had in store for me! The free spins were dead after that hit then it went up to 6x multiplier(I expected ok I'll get one spin at 6x and that will be it finished) but no the spins just kept coming! Then it happened 3 of the women in spectacles appeared! It flashes on the screen £540! Big win! I was actually in so much shock that I never got the picture until the free spins had finished! I'd finally cracked a big win finished free spins with balance of £730!!

Now I don't know why I never stopped at that and cashed out but just had a feeling it was my lucky day! So I switched over to a relatively new netent game at the time called Thunderfist. Started bets at £1.25 for about 50-70 spins nothing great came so I upped my bet to £3.75 and sure enough free spins came up! And again another huge hit this one I did get a pic of. The total free spin win was £681! so within a few hours I was like £1,250+ richer.

I withdrew the cash and paid for a trip to spain with my then GF(the holiday wasn't the best but it was all paid for with casino winnings!! including spending money!) If I remember rightly I also tried my luck and won on Thunderfist at betvictor within a month I must have won thousands(did put some back in but at least I got a just about free holiday!) Therefore it's still a dream story so if you ever have that gut feeling you are gonna win you should go for it! All from only £50!

Have included the pics from the amazing wins for anyone who didn't see them back in 2012

My biggest win was from 3 Dice casino. I was weary and bone tired of playing RTG and the limited amount of rival that was left for the USA. I had heard good things about 3 Dice casino so i decided to try the free tournament that was available for non depositors. The $20 free roll seemed to treat me good because i won a few but i did not know much about 3 Dice then and i did not know to look under the cashier tab for my win so  never went there to redeem my tournament wins so i do not know what happened to them. I never participated in chat back then so i was a long time member at the casino and i only played the free rolls out of bordem. Once the free roll was done i closed the casino until the next day to play the next free roll.
    One day a friend of mine suggested i open chat and just sit in for a while. I did and that's when one of the CSR PM 'd me with a free chip to try the games. After i played the free chip i decided to deposit and play and won a whopping $600. It was over $600 but at least i did find the cash out button.  I have made some smaller withdraws but after 5 years of gambling on line that was and still is my biggest win. Whats sad is i poured $1000's in different casinos (mostly RTG )and never came close to $600 dollars or even $200 for that matter. I still like some RTG games and maybe my day will come but for now im content to play at 3 Dice casino.

Aww thats sweet rena, i really hope you win much bigger one day, i am sure you will hun

I do miss 3dice a bit, maybe i might even consider asking anna if she will reopen my account, but she probably wont hahaha

Wish you luck RJ and thank you.

My most memorable win was actually more of an unbelievable week of wins where everything i touched turned to gold so to speak

I Started off on 377bet made a deposit of 20 and got 50 free spins on secret of the stones. I played through my deposit without much luck so went to use my free spins and hit some nice wins on free spins to get me up to 30. I decided to change slot and went to fruit shop to try and wager the amount as i like this slot for wagering and thats where the amazing week started i hit massive wins nearly straight away started on a 45c bet and kept hitting 5 of a kind fruits leading to free spins. I kept upping my bet til i was betting 1.50 a spin and hit 5 of a kind cherries on free spins with a x2 and my balance leapt up. In the end i had made just over 1000 on this slot and wagering was met so withdrew it.
As soon as this went into skrill i felt my luck was in and went to interwetten as i had an email for bonus , yet again i played fruit shop and yet again i kept hitting the big wins taking out another 1k the very next day.
So off i went to comeon to try the same thing and amazingly i done it again on fruitshop at this stage i was totally amazed taking out another 1k.
I finally went to guts and for a change of scenery and with my luck being in opted on playing hall of gods ( well i wouldnt have said no to a few million) i played for a couple of hours up and down, so i got the bonus and sat here picking and all 3 jackpots showed twice i sat there shaking thinking could my luck really be in this week?? so i picked my last shield and i won the mini jp for 1200

It was what i would call an unbelievable week of wins and it might account for the fact i havent been able to win anything decent since (could be doing with another week like this lol).

I enjoyed spending the money, i paid a few bills then i went out and bought myself and my daughter brand new phones done a hugeeeeeeee food shop dont think tesco's knew what hit em lol. I went into the clothes boutique and seen a coat and fell in love with it and stood there debating would i really spend 100 on a coat then i remembered how much money i had

It really was the most amazing week i have had at casino's i hope u all get a week like this 

And all from a small deposit of 20 euro 

There is 67 prizes to be given away. So if you ask me you all have pretty good chance to win one

woohoo love this contest.  am going to  use my notepad to do my story on than I will post it. but I have a question... my very first big win  was before I discovered the computer at a indian bingo/casino.  should I write about that win or a win after I discovered the computer ?  thank s

I think it doesnt matter if it was before you had a computer or not,

It just states what was your biggest win or (pot of gold)

its been nice reading them all too, it is such a nice contest and thread to read too

Hmm i've never won any Jackpots had some x1000 wins on 0.25 cents bet but it's different

Armage well just post one of your most memorable ones, it might still be acceptable worth a try isnt it

Hello dear members
Firstly i want to thank you LCB that promotion.
I think everyone knows the microgaming famous jackpot video slot, the mega moolah. I played on it a serval times on the virtualcity casino. I never like the jackpot slots but with this machine i made an exception. Many times this game robbed me out but a few times i was lucky enough to trigger the jackpot rounds. Firts when i get it i spin out the lowest jackpot and get about 15 euro. From this time ago i get the feture a few times and i was more luckier then in the past. When i played on the minimum bet i get the jackpot feature again. I started the spin wheel to see my winning and that time i get the minor jackpot and it was 137 euro. I know it is far from the millions but it was my first jackpot. Sadly i didn't won any jackpot from this time but i think i will be lucky again and i get the bigger jackpots prizes one day.

My biggest (as in I actually brought it home!!!) and most memorable win would have to be playing Black Jack at Agua Caliente Casino in Palm Desert (basically Palm Springs haha), California.  I wasn't planning on going to the casino, but my younger sister said, "hey, lets go to Palm Springs and surprise our older sister and her husband(they had gone out for the weekend!" so, I said, "Okay, but I'm only taking $500". As soon as we walk in, I put my butt down at a Triple Play Double Double Bonus Video Poker machine, and immediately I won $1000.00"  I jumped off that machine, thinking "great now i have a better amount of money to play with, found my brother-in-law at a Black Jack table, and sat down next to him.  It was a $25 min table, and there were two others sitting there. I sat down, put out a chip, won, doubled my bet, as did he, and each time I won, I would add another $25 chip to the bet.  If I lost, I'd go back down to my base of $25, he decided to do the same.  Well, we couldn't lose, as was with one of the ladies playing there, too!  So, fearful of getting a 1099, I told my sister hey go cash these chips in, she'd come back i'd give her more and then say keep some to play with.  Well, after a bit, she went and counted came to the table said i was at $10,000.00=holy crap...we continued playing, raising bet, splitting, doubling (some hands were well over $1000 bet!) and got my ass out of the casino and into the car-3 hours after i sat down, with a HUGE $18,000.00 (Plus my sister made $1000 from cashing my chips in!!!!) my brother in law-he HAD $10,000=but didn't leave when we did, and came home only winning $1000!!!!  that was a great time!!!!

Last Saturday at Harrahs in Bossier City ,LA. I hit a jackpot of $3000. It came just in time to pay for my sister and My cruise to Bahamas to go see Atlantis.  This has been my dream for many years.

Like i said before i never won any jackpots yeat, but have some realy nice winnings . I prefer to play Netent slots and my bets from 0.20 to 0.60, sometimes 1$/€ but it depends of amount money i have. So my first big win was on Triobet, i received an email with free spin in new game - Dragon island, yeah it was quite  long time ago so i won about 15 euro from them i keep playing, because i had had met  requiments, i hit 20 free spins and after good run i end up a bonus game with over 200 euro. All money went to poker account  Last time i won big amount was before this christmas at Guts, i made a deposit of 10 euro and after several hours of sesion i had more then 300 euro. Made cashout and spent on presents   I don't play so much, maybe 2-3 sesions in month, but i hope one day to hit Jackpot

I would like to share my biggest win with all who want to take the time to read about my very fortunate experience at Northern Lights casino aka Swinomish Casino  Anacortes Wa  about 4 years ago..  To let u know upfront this is not a jackpot win  so if i don't qualify for the prize okay i still want to share my only big win event cause its exceptionally amazing..  Okay the casino was holding a game show  they called whammy where every night  u showed up u could have another ticket  with your name  added to the barrel where at 7.00 pm 4 names were randomly drawn to have a chance to win 6,600 maximum amount butt only 1 of the 4 gets the opportunity to to participate in the game the other three would get the 50.00  dollar whammy and that's where there  game comes to a end. 4 yellow envelopes would be held up all players that were drawn are asked to choose ...1 is participant 3
  are 50.00 whammy and thats how it begins.  On the this night    i was  down to my last 50 cents when i heard them call my name  to join them on stage how excited i was and unfortunately i picked the 50.00 dollar whammy card butt was happy still the same.  we went every night so the very next day before going my friend her name is also jill said she had a vision and i was going to be called  again when i do stay to the left  of every pick u will win she stressed stay to the left!!!!  Crazy old loon butt she was magically correct my name was called know keep in mind there were  thousands of tickets in this barrel and lots of anxious gamblers hoping for there chance.  so being shocked and excited i picked the card to the left and i was now going to play on...  there were three  rows of 5 doors on each row pick one from the top line  i stayed to the left and i had 100.00 dollars go on or stay if i pick wrong i only get whammy 50.00 dollars butt i chose to pick again and 1000.00  dollar door was what i picked next this is where i stopped i had never won this kind of money ever and to whammy out at 50.00  was nuts so ill stay i said ..  of course i had to see what i would get if i had went on host made me just for fun i stayed to left held my breath and picked u would have won 5000.00 more dollars  the speaker shouted has he revealed the door ! the crowed cheered and sighed butt i still was happy for that was good enough 1100.00 was sufficient for me and that was more than ever any time before still is the best by far thanks good luck everyone win big

Great online and land based Casino winning stories. I have so far enjoyed reading all of them. It is always exciting to read about them!

Great contest.  Thanks LCB

Back in 2006, I got sick and ended up in the hospital for nearly a month.  The doctors let me come home 2 weeks before christmas if I had someone at home to watch over me and wake me up every so often to make sure I didn't go into a coma.  Anyways, I had to take time off work and when I tried to claim for sick benefits they denied me because I didn't get sick at work   So no job, no benefits meant my spending money was gone. 

But anyways my husband told me to try my luck one night and at this time all I could afford to deposit was $20 into an RTG.  My balance never went over $100 all night.  I was tired so left what I had and went to bed around 9:00.  Woke up around 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep so thought i'd play a bit.  It took about 10 minutes and bang ! I hit the random jackpot for $6300.00 and some change playing Lions Lair.  I almost pee'd my pants.

I was so excited I woke my husband by bouncing on the bed.  Immediately i withdrew 6000.00.  Played around for a couple more hours had my balance to almost  800.00 and decided to play Diamond Dozen.  Played for about 1/2 hr when the bells and whistles went off again and there it was staring me in the face.  I had hit my second random jackpot in less than 4 hours.  This one was for 3700.00 and some change. 

I withdrew 10 thousand that day and it was in my bank within 3 days.  Son and daughter as usual got spoiled for christmas and my mom loves the casinos so I treated her to a weekend in the city at her favorite casino.  My husband said it was my money and didn't want anything since he already had me !
We have a joint bank account so it didn't matter anyways..LOL

I wasn't able to get back to work for almost 5 months but my husband as it turned out got a call from his work in mid January asking him to come back to work 3 months earlier and was offered a more permanent staff position

Funny story:  Several years ago, I worked in a land based casino that allowed employees to play in their off time.  On this particular day, I had called in sick as my children were both home sick from school.  However, it was payday.  So I went into the casino to pick up my pay check.  I spoke to my boss, and headed for home.  Well, me being me, I stopped at a machine and thought "I can take half an hour before I have to be home."  I sat down at one of my favorite games at the time, Zeus II.  Well, I turned that  20 into 200 very quickly.  I was smiling.  So, for giggles, I played max bet for a few spins.  On my last spin, I hit the Respin bonus, filled my screen with zeus and on a quiet Monday morning a the casino, my machine was hooting and hollering. 

Then, friends of mine from various departments came over.    Including from my department.  I quickly started explaining that I had called in sick and this was my own time.  Well, that was not the best way to explain the situation because as will happen, rumors flew around the casino that I had called in sick ONLY TO GAMBLE.  I kept my job, was spoken to and spent that pile of money on a tractor for my husband.  (He likes tractors even tho we aren't farmers.)

My best win was off a $50 buy in on Black Jack.
I played a double deck table, mostly played on gut feelings versus the rule book.
I know this sounds odd, but I kept winning and winning.
At one point I had a nice large stack of red chips in front of me.  The dealer asked if I wanted to cash in some of those chips.
I was like sure, being unsure of how I had.  I got talking to the lady next to me barely paid attention to anything going on with the chips.  He handed me a nice stack of chips.
The lady seemed impressed with my winnings, plus she had kept winning herself.  So of course we both were having a good time.
So I started betting the green chips.  I never bothered seeing the value of the chips, mainly because I was having fun.  First time playing blackjack too.
Like I knew how to play it from online playing, yet I didn't have a clue of what was really going on in the casino.
Well finally I ran the table out of green chips.  The guy was bringing more.  So I asked finally, can you tell me what all of these chips amount to.
She first had to count chips the guy brought.  Then she ended up announcing, I had turned $50 into well over $12,000.
I was like are you serious?  I've been playing wreckless and by gut.  I just won $12,000.  I asked for a security guard, got escorted to the casino cage.  Then out to my car.  I ended up tipping the dealer $200 for my heck of a pay day.  I tipped the security guard $100.  I ended up walking out with $11,700 off of a nice little buy in.
That was my first experience on blackjack.  Haven't been able to relive that since, but man that was one of heck of a run.  I'll never forget it.

what an amazing story I'm hoping to win a fortune playing poker and if you won that much on a game much more associated with chance than skill my dream may not be so farfetched! Brilliant win though Cheetah I can't play blackjack consistently I win for a bit then it just goes wrong for me.

my most spectacular Jackpot win was definately spectacular in that it was the 1st time i had ever played on a poker machine before.. online or land based.

it was also my least memorable win coz i was pissed as a parrot when i won the five hundred and something dollars at a land based casino that i cant remember which poker game i won it on or wot the winning hand was.

anyways... abt 10 yrs ago i was at a nite club in the casino and got a bit too tipsy so wondered down stairs to the gaming room, plonked my ass on a poker machine next to a very kind, patient  gentleman who clearly looked like he knew wot he was doin and decided to ask him how to play.

he patiently instructed me to put my coins in the slot machine 1st and then helped me select which cards to keep. he was abt ready to call it a nite so he didnt really mind helping me plus im also pretty easy on the eye too

after loosing $10 and cashing in another $10  just so i could continue my jibba jabba abt god knows wot (yes im one of those annoying drunks), i then started winging about having no luck.
he suggested i change machines coz he had  been playing on that machine for most of  the nite with not much luck so he had moved to the one next to it. i couldnt be stuffed moving coz i had gotten cozy so decided to stay put.

the next thing i knew, a red siren light and noise was flashing above my head..
"wots goin on" i ask him.
"you just won the jackpot" he said a bit irritatingly.

i jumped off my seat to go find my frens but he warned me not to leave my seat (while prob kicking himself in the head for doing so) because someone else could claim the win just by sitting at the machine when the attendant comes arnd.

thankfully for me one my frens heard the jackpot siren go off and went to see who won it so i had a witness to my win and with a big grin on me face and a thank u to the gentleman, i headed straight to the cashier, cashed it out and went back upstairs to the niteclub and spent half of it on more shots.
i felt bad the next day when i realised i didnt even buy the poor guy a drink for helping me with my win though... but not that bad 

My biggest win was in 1995.  (Long time ago I know.)  Gambled for a week straight at casinos in Wisconsin and Illinois playing video poker and blackjack.  In the end I came home with over $20,000 in winnings.  Went to work on Monday and on Monday night went out and bought a brand new Toyota Camry that I still drive to this day.  It has 188,000 miles on it and has been to many casinos since 

I have had many wins (and losses) over the years, but this was my biggest win in a 7 day period.

My favorite winning story gotta be from purple lounge. I started playing with 6,2eur deposit and ended up cashing out 2000. I was actually bouncing aroung 100 to 50 eur all the time and every time i lost to 50eur i went to game weel of riches and actually doubled my money back to 100eur like 10times , and then it happened i putted 50eur to 2 colours and it bringed bonus game, which usually doesn't pay anything or 0,5x bet. So it was a disapointment first i thought i lost it all now. Then the wheel spun to 50x bet! and with my 50eur bet it was 1250eur! And the reason it is this win i post, is that i managed to buy stroller to my new born kid, new dishwasher and tv, rather than playing it all back like i usually do.

my most memorable win...not my biggest win was in AC (Atlantic city).  i live about 50 mins away, so i am there quite a lot.  if you visit the casinos often, they comp you money lost from the last visit, free rooms and free food...i know most of you know this. ok so, me and a friend were bored and broke and we decided to go to AC to get our comp (slot) dollars.  i had about $60 slot dollars in taj mahal and my friend had about $80 slot dollars.  i had about $40 dollars in my pocket and he had about maybe $60 on him.

now usually i don't go to ac with less than $300, but this day we were both bored and broke and payday was still days away.  when we got there i immediate went to the the casino window to claim my $60.  while waiting for my friend to get his money, i saw a bank of machines facing the casino window where you redeem your slot dollars.  there was a woman playing a whole row of slots...about six machine in all and she was going down the row putting money in each machine, hit the button wait and move on to the next machine.  i watched for a minute or two and since my friend was still in line i decided to drop a twenty in one of the machines.

i politely asked the lady if she was playing this particular machine at the end of the row where she was putting the money in.  she gave me a dirty look and put money in the machine as if to answer my question.  so i put money in the machine she had just left, not the machine i wanted to play, but she continued to put money in the machine i wanted to play.  after a while she then moved on to the machines in the next row.  all of a sudden i hit the three red black and white symbols.  i saw the first two drop and thought ok...this should be good, because they were triple symbols...so i thought i would have the two triples and another symbol hopfully a 7 would drop with the two symbols.  nope it was all three symbols...i had won the top prize $5000

with all the bells and whistles the lady that was playing the machines came running and when she saw that i had just hit off of the machine she had just played, she gave me the dirtiest look you can give a person while mumbling something under her breath.  my friend was still in line and turned to see me standing at the machine with the bells and whistles and could not believe it.

long story short we stayed for a while and had the best time and came home with more than we left with.     

My favorite winning story is when me and 3 friends decided to go to take a trip to Las Vegas on a summer weekend  so we drove its just a 4 hour drive, So the the first casino we go into is Ceasars Palace i started playing blackjack and poker but no luck, then went to slot machines and lost over $400, so then i decided to try out Keno at $1 a bet put in $100 and kept playing for 2 hours i was down to my last $15 when 9 numbers lit up red and hit the jackpot which was $60,000.00 i couldn't believe it my heart was pounding hard cause i was excited i then gave my friends $1000.00 each and we proceeded to have the best gambling trip ever.

Well i am yet to win a big jackpot never have been lucky there. The only time i actually won JP was when playing Hall of Gods when i hit 3 symbols in bonus round that revealed mini JP worth couple hundred $ $ . I guess win is a win even if not too big.

I have never hit a jackpot above $500 i guess but the I have won about $500 on the gold factory slot one of my favorite slots of all time. That day still i remember i was playing it for about two hours sometime just for enjoyment spinning without money at stake because i was low on bank balance then one of my friends paid me for the logo i designed for him $30 which just came at the right time and immediately deposited it and started playing the game and started badly but gradually i recovered and suddenly to my surprise hit a jackpot but because of low coin value was able to make $500 only but still i was more then happy because winning jackpot is always fun even it is $100 or $1k . I then withdrew the money and bought myself Battlefield 4 game and other miscellaneous things. Also , it was my parent's anniversary so i bought a cake and cards for them. I think $500 was quite a big jackpot because it came at the right time and the money earned was spend on the right cause. Who says gambling is not moral , i believe anything that gives happiness to anyone is the best thing one can do!
Still gold factory is my favorite slot and i have won quite some cash from it , not that big but yes on the regular basis. I guess someday i will large enough to tell my grandchildren about my winning in a Ferrari itself !

My pot of gold greenbacks to be exact was for $10,640.00.  It is not a huge amount of money but, I was sure tickled to death when I won.  Lady Luck shined on me in 2004, I was living in Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas at the time and as a local, I wasn’t much for going to the local clubs to play on a regular basis.  I usually only played when family or friends came for a visit.  However, for some reason that day I just had a weird feeling that I wanted to play. 


I went to the Sunset Hotel & Casino in Henderson, one of my favorites spots and one of the casinos I had played poker in on previous visits.  I am a devout Poker player and again for some reason, I didn’t feel like playing poker that day.  So, I just wandered around the casino for about 15 or 20 minutes not knowing what game I wanted to play.  I walked by a bank of Multi-Game machines and became immediately interested in these machines and so I sat down.


The machines have different games with different coin amounts I could play.  Some of the games were video poker, video slots, keno and a few more I can’t remember.  After looking at all the games I decided to play 4-card keno.  I could play from 1 to 4 keno tickets at a time and they didn’t have to be the same numbers or spots on each ticket.  The only thing that had to be the same was the coin amount but, I could bet from 1 to 4 coins on each ticket.  I don’t know what came over me (another feeling) to play the 50 cent coin, but I did.


I played a 3 spot on the first 2 tickets, a 6 spot on the 3rd and a 9 spot on the 4th ticket.  Again, I don’t know what came over me but I mashed the maximum coin button betting 4 coins on each ticket.  This is something I had never done before and something I’ve never done since.  I had been playing about five minutes when all of a sudden; I hit all of my 3 spot numbers on the 1st and 2nd tickets, all 6 spot numbers on my 3rd ticket, and 8 out of 9 on my 4th ticket.  The lights started flashing, bells started ringing and people started looking.  I figured I had won something but I had no idea of how much until I looked down and saw the amount on the screen.  Holy, Moly, I really won!


I just sat there and wasn’t sure what to do next.  A slot person came over congratulated me and asked for my drivers license and social security card so she could pay me.  I immediately called my husband but, he thought I was joking after I told him how much I’d won.  He just said, Good, bring it home and hung up.  I thought to myself, I am not going to walk out of this casino by myself with that much money; so, I called my son.  Needless to say, after I told him about my win, he was there in no time.  I gave him some money to play and I played about 30 minutes more.  I was hungry after all this excitement so my son and I had a fabulous meal and then we left.


I bought a little something for everyone in my immediate family and a few things for our house.  However, the biggest portion of my pot of gold greenbacks went into our bank account.  It was a nice feeling to know we had a little larger rainy day fund.  I haven’t won a penny since that day but of course one has to play to win.  I wonder if I am ever going to get that feeling again in the future.  That weird feeling that, I just want to play; I guess time will be the judge of that?

Great story pokergranni wish you win one more Jackpot to bring back those feelings

wow when I see all this big winnings and some jackpots mine is a tiny jackpot I guess.Well my gold of pot or the win I had was this year in February when i played at Intetops Casino.Have to say I love playing theirs WTG slots .So that day i deposited 15 euros ,because previous days i did made deposits but didnt won anything so decided to deposit less this time.I choose to play Funky Chicken slot which I adore ,I was playing for a while and when my balance reached 4 $ then I had the good time coming,the free spins were coming and coming I couldnt believe my eyes ,my bet at first 1 $ and the I raised my bet to 5$,I came to 1.925$ but i thought i could do better,but that didnt happened because i start losing the money and came to 450$ ,ok I said I am gona play for a while till I reach at least 500$ and i will quit,but then again I retrigger the free spins ,so together all I had up to 100 free spins on that game till I reached to 1800$ , I withdraw 1700$ or 1245 euros and left 100$ in my account,then I stopped playing because maybe i would lost it all.My money came after few days ,you know verification process. I wish I have at least once a month that kind of luck,but you never know.From the money I took from the Intertops Casino my family ,hubby and my son,we went on weekend on Mavrovo mountain ski center and the rest of the money we spend it on  small shopping ,buying things for each .Well my story is not Jackpot but its a Jackpot for me...

I had a really lucky and awesome one.

Maybe not the biggest JP but still great.


I had signed up to 888casino during their 365 free spins promo, every sunday I would log in and get my 7 freespins for that week.

On this one occasion I spun my 7 free spins and won £2.25

I didnt like the game the spins were on (captains treasure IIRC) So went onto a familiar looking slot, Spiderman

As we all know the Spiderman slots have the progressives, it was minimum 0.05 pence per ling, so £1.25 to spin all the lines, I though bugger that i'm just looking for some fun, so went down to playing only 5 lines, so 25p per spin.

I sat spinning away, getting little wins, and around my 6th or 7th spin some kind of animation came up, but I was clicking spin so quick I didnt realise, Upon looking at my balance it had shot up to well over £900

Bemused I contacted support, and they told me I had won the super hero jackpot at £982.84

I was shocked, it was my biggest ever win online at the time.

Reality set it, and I thought about maybe I wasn't able to withdraw due to it being bonus money, or the fact I had never made a deposit at this casino,

So I contacted support again, and was delighted to hear that yes I would be able to withdraw once I had finished wagering the original wager from the original 7 freespins which was just £15.67 left to go.

I sat and counted my spins and made sure everything was correct, I then went back to live chat and asked them if I could withdraw and they replied 'yes' :D

They advised me I could register a card and make a deposit then withdraw the funds that way, or I could supply them with details so they could send a cheque,

I opted for the cheque, as it was fee free, and I didnt want to maybe get stuck with a first deposit bonus to wager aswell.

So all in all a most pleasurable experience, Not the biggest jackpot, But by the time I withdrew I withdre £1000

Cheque arrived at my door 4 days later.

:D

well my story to let know it I occurred in December of last year, is that I was playing at jackpot capital that for me is one of my favorite casinos where I'm constantly playing, by those days use a 100% bonus which provide some Friday and that it is only by random to different players pack includes a free chip $20 but unfortunately because it had lost quickly.
subsequently to this use a deposit via neteller for $20 and use a minimum bet of.50 cents in the game returns of rudolph had not 3 mins when I got the feature rudolphs rampage where I got three gifts most 15 free spins at the end of this round of bonds got a balance in favor for $625 which was greatly pleasedthen I got a cashout of $500 with this bonus.
those days out of the gym time, heading to my house I found a puppy abandoned which was with an apparently broken leg, (tell them that here in mexico unfortunately people abandon their pets on the street which is very bad) as it scooped her up and take him to the vet and then with some of that money that wins you cure him today dog lives with me and is very happy at my side in fact likes much the sound of the video slots of the casino thanks to the entire team of lcb forum for this post and all I wish you Happy Easter!
pd: presto les my dog "pantufla" saved with casino cash... "

You are a kindhearted man Sir! You should win this for the amazing refuge of that animal!

On September 1st. of 1989 me and my ex-husband ( boyfriend at this time ) and his mom and her friend all went to a indian bingo / casino in california. They had a must go coverall of $15,000.00. The buy in on that night was rather higher than other nights , not cause of the jackpot but because of the day of the week it was. It was a friday night and the beginning of a 3 day weekend. Labor day was on monday. At that time they had 2 different jackpot games. Each game was a 3 part paying game. Me and my ex both got 4 packs a piece , there are 6 bingo cards on each sheet in a pack. so each game me and my ex would have to mark 24 cards. no problem for either of us. I think his mom got the same amount of packs.  Me and my ex had  just started playing bingo about 6 to 8 months prior.  We first went with his mom to same indian bingo / casino on our first time. Even though  me or my ex did not win on our first time , we were hooked on playing bingo. Me and my ex we played all over. there we alot of local bingo halls every night of the week.  some of them in the other towns which were no more than 15 minutes up to 40 minutes away. At this indian bingo / casino we had to travel about 50 minutes max. It was in a location where there was nothing else around. The nearest town of maybe 500 people was about 15 minutes away.  Probably alot bigger today. They had lots of buses filled with bingo players. Most players there came on a bus and traveled hours to get there. From the indian bingo / casino to the bay area ( San francisco ) was probably pushing a  hour and 45 minute  drive. My ex's mom always left early. We would get there right before or sometimes right after they opened the doors. We sometimes drove ourselfs and that night we drove just the 2 of us and meet his mom there. She saved our seats.  His mom always sat  at the end of the table in the back cause she always talked to the floor clerk that worked that area. When me and my ex got to the register to get our packs , i was going first , my ex asked the person if they had any 8000 series books. The clerk reached down and got the other books with that series numbers on them. My ex had become well known with most of the workers there (  social butterfly he is..lol and everyone likes him. ). The first jackpot game to be played was the  " must go " of $15,000.00. Which i think was the 4th game in the pack to be played. During the game i was just marking my cards and as i was getting closer , i was not nervous until i only needed just 1 number. When a player has a bingo everyone in there knows before the ball is called. I needed I23 and was staring at the monitor for the caller to put in the next number , and BAM  there it was I23. We gave the floor clerk my paper and looked around to see if we could see if anyone else had a bingo to but it's really hugh inside there but we were pretty sure no one else did.  After that game i could not play my cards , i keeped seeing different numbers and was all confused. They paid me in cash.  I gave $400 to the floor clerk , $1,000.00 to his mom and $500 to his mom's friend ( she went all the time ). On our way back to my dads house ( that's where i lived and ex lived in next town  ) i saw my oldest brother...LoL  on the highway.  This highway is not a road i would of ever thought of seeing anyone i knew..LoL.  I tried showing my brother the money but it was really dark.  We went to my dad's house so i could tell my dad and my oldest brother he showed up at my dads also about 15 minutes later and i showed him also. he said he couldn't see what i was trying to show him as we passed by him..lol. anyways i gave $2,000.00 to my dad , i gave some to my oldest brother ( i think only $100  )  the next morning i put $9,000.00 in bank and  went to bingo again , me and my ex. That indian bingo / casino was the place where i first got my first bingo ever  ( O75 ) and my first jackpot ever ( I23 ). I now live in the state next to it and have not been there since around 1994. I will never forget that place. ( I did not know if we could say the name of  the casino or not. )

Thank you very much for contest. 

It was on rainy Sunday about 2 years ago when I've lunched Super sevens slot in Casino club online. I was playing for 20 minutes with my balance going up and down when jackpot of a little more than 800 eur hit me (bet per spin 1.35) This is my only progressive jackpot win.

My bigest win in land base casino was on 5 dragons. Me and my friend were driving from birthday party and he had an idea to stop at casino for quick spin (we were a little bit drunk  and it was five in the morning). After 10 minutes I've won 2.336 eur from free spins bonus (don't remember bet because of the drinks )

We had a great laugh next day, that maybe we should start visiting casions under the influence of alcohol

My only significant real money progressive jackpot experience is different from most because I was awarded a prize for losing, not winning... That's right, I was part of an online poker hand that resulted in me winning the biggest share of the (now defunct) B2B network's bad beat jackpot, which was over €5000 at the time, back in 2006 Unfortunately, I don't have the exact monetary figures or hand history but I still remember the key bits.

I was just finishing up Unibet Poker's welcome bonus and had sat down at a six-handed €1/2 FL table, which wasn't the norm for me as I prefer full ring action. Anyway, I hadn't been there long when I got pocket jacks on the button. Obviously a strong hand, especially short-handed, but I think I called a raise rather than reraising myself preflop. The flop came and bam! Two jacks and a king - it couldn't get any better for me (or so I thought).

Not wanting to scare anyone out of the action too soon  -  three or four of us were in the hand - I again smooth called a bet and raise before me. The turn came and it was a second K; great for me, as I was sure at least one of the other players had a king in their hand. It was time to stop playing nice now, so this time I raised when the action came to me, eventually capping. Having forced the other player(s) out, it was now just me and the opponent I figured had a king...

River came and I can't remember what card it was - not that it mattered anyway. The other player and I exchanged rapid raises and it was at this point that I first started to doubt whether I truly had the best hand. After capping again on the river, it was time for the final showdown and the moment of truth... My flopped quad jacks had in fact been outdrawn on the turn by the other player, who had been holding KK!

Even as my mind was processing what had just happened and my heart was pumping with excitement, my eyes caught a brief notice on the screen announcing that the bad beat jackpot had been won at the table and listing the winners, with my name being first as the largest recipient. Almost instantly, my balance was updated and just like that, I was a few thousand euros richer

P.S. I won't go into detail about what happened after that because it wasn't as pleasant as what went before, but I did eventually manage to withdraw all my winnings.

My biggest ever win could not have come at a better time as i was made unemployed last august and to put the icing on the cake it came from free money.
I sometimes deposit at eurogrand casino and occasionally get email with free no strings attached bonus money from them, last november i received £20 and set to work on my favorite slot on their site spin2million$, i was up and down like a yoyo and decided to give the new marvel progressive slot the avengers a go, 7 spins in at only £1 a spin i hit the progressive and got the extra power which paid £1600, the feelings magic aint it I spoilt my girlfreind to a new wardrobe and treat the kids and gave my mam some money, it was a great xmas to say the least! 

Thanks again for this contest LCB - it sure seems that there has been less than the 64 potential winners, because only around 30 entries? - so dare i ask what happens to the remainder prizes that don't get used ??

Such a shame that not many more posted in this thread , I enjoyed reading all these stories too, and a few of them stick out above others too and in my eyes deserve the top prize

woohoo!!! 

if ur right DreamRJ, that means that all of us who posted our stories get a prize then!!! 

YaY!!!

TYVM 4 da great contest LCB

i thoroughly enjoyed reading everyones stories

Nothing happens to the remaining prizes. If there are not enough entries vs prizes then the prizes go unclaimed there is no doubling up if that is what you are wondering.

ok sorry, i just didn't know, was just curious but thanks for the reply and the contest

As the closing deadline approaches and the competition winds down, I'd like to thank not only LCB for running this contest but also my fellow participants. I've read through everyone else's stories and been amazed by the big jackpots, entertained by the funny anecdotes plus humbled by the generous way people shared their winnings with others

Yep another fantastic LCB contest! Just a shame more people never took part though Their loss!

I agree with bigdk, thanks again for this great contest

I completely agree with all my fellow LCB’ers!      What a great contest (as always) and a great big THANK-YOU to LCB!


I too read all the pot of gold stories and they were super.  Each was one was different and unique and I really enjoyed reading them.


And Thanks Dream RJ for the heads-up about the number of entries.  I would of never thought to count them.  Oh, and nice try on the double-up!        Just kidding of course!   


It will be fun to see which stories make the top spots and I can’t wait until the next contest!  Good Luck to all those that participated and Thanks for the good reads!   

:P i wasnt trying anything, i was just asking a question. because i never saw a contest on LCB where there was remaining prizes left over, that was all
