In our final edition of The Respin before Christmas (and our penultimate edition before New Year’s Day), we’re highlighting jackpots that came directly from Santa Claus’ gift bag. If we got half as many handpays as our favorite influencers, we’d be relaxing somewhere on a yacht.
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Respin, a weekly article series that captures Las Vegas’ most exciting moments. Our team spends hours researching the hottest influencers and videos on YouTube before parsing out bite-sized chunks of casino goodness.
Lady Luck comes in first place on SlotsFan’s “interesting” scale for the second week in a row.
1. Lady Luck HQ Morphs Machine Maladies Into Miracle Jackpots
Lady Luck’s latest slot endeavor was inspired by a random casino-goer’s predictions concerning Huff N’ More Puff. She decided to place ten max bet spins worth $180 a piece, sacrificing a total of $1,800 in her quest for the jackpot. This prediction turned out to be true – on a different game.
Lady Luck and her hubby Miran spun through Piggy Bankin and Diamond Queen, blowing a few thousand dollars to no avail. They took things to the next level on high-limit Dragon Link, where the dynamic duo placed massive wagers starting at $100 and going up to $250 per spin.
Their bold strategy paid off. Despite the game’s screen glitching at the last second, Lady Luck took home $5,700 and $7,100 from two separate bonuses. They didn’t snag the $50,000 Major they came for, but there’s always next year.
2. Ruby Slots Downsizes Her Bankroll With Forty Bucks in Vegas
In stark contrast to Lady Luck’s borderline-reckless gameplay, Ruby Slots is a certified low roller.
While some influencers spend $250 per spin without thinking twice, Ruby Slots takes a different approach to see how far a mere $20, $40, $50, or $100 can stretch in Sin City. This week, Ruby found herself at the El Cortez in Las Vegas with only $40 in her pocket.
Island Rising was first on the chopping block as Ruby set her bets to $0.80 per spin. The rules were simple – Ruby allocated $40 to each game on her itinerary. She leaves the game instantly after collecting her first bonus, saving her cash for the next machine with unknown possibilities.
Island Rising delivered a $34.50 bonus win, prompting Ruby to move onto Jackpot Carnival. It’s always nice to see old-school games in the spotlight, and Ruby’s first $0.75 spin delivered $10 in bonuses. At the end of the day, she made $40 last for nearly 40 minutes of exciting gameplay.
3. Vegas Matt Returns For A Second Beatdown on Phoenix Link
Vegas Matt was sore after losing $15,000 this week, and he wasn’t leaving the casino without a sizable jackpot to get him back in the green. He jumped into the action on Phoenix Link: Queen Chiu, securing a $1,250 bonus handpay almost immediately.
He spent several hundred dollars betting $40 per spin until a bonus with twelve free spins gave him the lucky break of a lifetime. Matt was up by more than $10,000, but he gave $7,000 back to the casino as 30 minutes of action-packed gameplay shaved his final profit down to $3,500.
That didn’t stop Vegas Matt from grabbing $1,000 in chips for a fatally optimistic blackjack hand. As soon as the dealer revealed his down-facing card, it was an immediate loss for Vegas Matt.
4. The Big Jackpot Spread The Love With $21,000 in Giveaways
The Big Jackpot was so stoked to win $42,000 that he gave half his earnings away to the fans who consistently watch his videos. It all happened after Raja chose to play million-dollar Dragon Link in hopes of repeating his seven-figure payday on the same exact machine in August 2024.
While he wasn’t quite as lucky this time around, he landed the Major while playing $250 per spin on a $25,000 bankroll. Early wins foreshadowed The Big Jackpot’s major victory to come, but all the heart-racing action took place at the 37-minute mark.
Once that Major Jackpot ball dropped, Raja walked away $42,483.09 richer than before.
5. NG Slot Shatters Old Records on Mo’ Mummy With $500 Spins
NG and BOMBA Slots joined forces for an epic collaboration as the high-rolling pair decided to shatter yet another jackpot record on Mo’ Mummy. In just under an hour, their relentless $500 spins nearly bankrupted the casino following a full-screen bonus win.
NG landed 24 free games worth $500 a piece to feed Mo’ Mummy. As he grew in size, so did the duo’s looming payday. Eventually, the mummy collected 55,000 credits for a bonus win of $108,650. If it weren’t for a series of less notable wins, NG would’ve spent nearly $50,000 on this game. While we wouldn’t suggest trying this at home, it is fantastic entertainment.
