Top 10 land-based jackpots of 2019
10. $923,165
A man from California was playing the White Hot Diamonds slot at San Pablo Lytton Casino in California on 5 February.
While using the three-reel slot, the local resident was getting ready to leave just as he hit a jackpot for $923,165. The lucky winner said that he intends to use the money to pay off his mortgage.
“You can come to San Pablo Lytton Casino any day and leave a millionaire,” said Michael Gorczynski, General Manager of San Pablo Lytton Casino. “Stop by. Start winning.”
9. $931,640
Any trip to Las Vegas can turn into an expensive one, but not if you end up hitting a $931,640 jackpot.
A Hawaiian resident at Main Street Station Casino Brewery and Hotel did just that when she played a Madonna slot machine on 7 October.
The winner landed four Madonna symbols and a wild around 6p.m. at the Boyd Gaming property. Imagine finding you won nearly $1 million when you first thought you were taking home a little over $9,000. She had to tell the slot attendant that she thought the payout was only $9,000, but was thrilled when she learned the true amount.
?? Major jackpot at Main Street Station! ??

8. $935,176
On 21 September, Clint was headed to the movie theater at Aliante Casino Hotel and Spa in North Las Vegas and stopped by the casino for a few brief spins on a 25-cent slot machine.
The southern Nevada resident dropped $20 and parlayed a $1.25 spin on Wheel of Fortune, which turned out to land a jackpot for $935,176.
Winning that hefty amount just might have the popcorn tasting a little better at the movie for Clint.
