A $5 bet triggers a $10,1 million jackpot in Las Vegas.
About a month ago, a gambler won a $1,3 million jackpot on a slot machine at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. And the "City of Sin" was the stage for another lucky person, who took home more than $10 million by triggering the reward on a slot machine at the Aria casino with a bet of just $5, reports SuperPoker.
Last Wednesday (9), a player from California ventured into one of the Megabucks machines at the Aria casino and could hardly wait for the outcome of his story. Investing just US$ 5, he saw the jackpot hit, winning no less than US$ 10.159.321, according to a tweet from IGT Gaming.

Although unusual, this wasn't the first time someone won a $10 million jackpot in Las Vegas this year. It's worth remembering the case of the gambler who turned $40 into $10,5 million on one of the machines at "Boyd Gaming's Casino," as reported by BolaVIP poker.
According to the article, the player pocketed exactly US$10.488.726 by successfully aligning three Megabucks symbols, a move that triggered the machine's accumulated prize. According to news sites, it was the lucky winner's first visit to the location, and he reportedly said he would use the prize to buy a house for his mother.
