January 1 – The game of slots continues to be hugely popular both online and off. While we regularly read about great wins at online slot casinos, especially on progressive slot games, it was also heartwarming to read about a massive win in a Mississippi casino over the Christmas holidays.
Taryn Tyler visited the the appropriately named GoldStrike Tunica Casino in Mississippi to celebrate her birthday with her best friend after Christmas.
Drawn to the exciting Wheel of Fortune slot game at the land-based casino, the Arkansas native decided to try her luck with $20 worth of coins and proceeded to play. Inserting 25c each time to try her luck on the spin, Tyler didn’t have to wait long for Lady Luck to shine her way and in a little while she was facing the astonishing fact that the life-changing amount staring back at her was truly hers.
On Friday evening, International Gaming Technology technicians and casino management confirmed to the player that the $900,000 was hers for the taking. “I had no idea I had won the big one,” said a stunned Taryn Tyler. “The woman at the machine next to me had to tell me that I had won!”
Asked what she is going to do with her winnings, Tyler didn’t hesitate for a moment. “I’m going to buy a new car, a Lexus to be exact, and save the rest,” she said.
While this is the seventh Mega Jackpot win in the Mississippi in 2008, thankfully Wheel of Fortune slot fans needn’t travel to the state to try out their favorite games. Most reputable online casinos offer players the chance to enjoy all types of slot games from the comfort of their own homes, putting them in line to win $900,000 and more!
