A resident of Jersey City, New Jersey, has won $200,000 (approximately 18.83 million rubles) playing the Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasure slot machine developed by Light & Wonder. The winner has chosen to remain anonymous.
Initially, the woman thought she had won $20,000 (about 1.88 million rubles). However, after double-checking the amount, she gasped in disbelief and fell into shock.
While she is still uncertain about how she will spend her newfound wealth, she noted that it will definitely be something useful and worthwhile, with a new home being one of the potential purchases.
The woman mentioned that she had not had much luck playing at brick-and-mortar casinos, which led her to try her hand at online gaming. She believes that other players also have a chance to hit the jackpot but emphasized that one should only gamble with disposable income.
In December 2023, a New York resident, Pedro Montanes, won $225,470 (around 21.2 million rubles) playing the Land O’Loot LuckyTap game, having placed a modest bet of $90 (about 8,473 rubles). Pedro played on the same site as the Jersey City woman.
Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasure is a five-reel, three-row slot machine from Light & Wonder, featuring an Eastern theme, four types of jackpots, and 243 paylines. The Jersey City woman was fortunate enough to win the largest possible amount.
Light & Wonder is an American manufacturer of slot machines for both land-based and online casinos, founded in 1973 under the name Scientific Games. The company is headquartered in Las Vegas.
Notably, 15 people won a total of $1.5 million at Atlantic City casinos in just one day.
