Our squad faces jackpots, losses, and everything in between as Santa Claus bestows gifts upon YouTube’s hottest influencers. Vegas Matt and Pompsie didn’t make the nice list this year, as both influencers received the financial equivalent of a coal lump.
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Respin, a weekly article series that brings readers on an immersive ride through North America’s most popular casinos. Our team spends hours viewing and analyzing YouTube footage before selecting the most exciting moments to share with you.
Lady Luck HQ’s quote-on-quote “life-changing” Buffalo Link jackpot stole the limelight this week.
1. Lady Luck HQ’s Life-Changing Jackpot Leaves Us Speechless
Lady Luck was at the Hard Rock Tampa with her family when an unexpected victory took them by surprise. While she began her journey to the jackpot on Huff N’ More Puff, she lost $2,000 on $90 spins. Around 10 minutes later, she decided to chase the $130k grand prize on Buffalo Link.
She started off with $4,000 and placed ten $100 spins before her Christmas wish was granted in the form of a long bonus round. Continuous retriggers allowed Lady Luck to play 36 free spins worth $100 each, and her luck got even better once she unlocked a fruitful “Hold & Win” feature.
By this point, she’d already won $10,790. Just two spins later, another “Hold & Win” bonus gave her $2,100. Only a few minutes after that, she pocketed $2,200 from her third bonus round. She couldn’t stop landing bonuses as an additional $14,000 jackpot graced her bankroll.
Unbelievably, her best handpay of the night was a line hit worth $32,400. While she initially won $1,200, Buffalo Link’s 27x multiplier shot her profit margins through the roof.
2. Vegas Matt Begs The Casino Gods for A Lucky Jackpot Break
Vegas Matt and Lady Luck were diametrically opposed this week as his losses turned into her handpays. Never one to back down from a losing streak, he kept digging himself into debt for our amusement. He announced that he’d be swinging for the fences on Wolf Peak.
He started off with $5,000, betting a lofty $80 per spin in hopes of securing a massive slot bonus like Lady Luck HQ. Matt’s bankroll went up and down for ten minutes before he decided to play Dragon Link with his remaining $3,000. This time, he played more conservatively for $50 a spin.
That wasn’t enough to stop him from getting Sando’d one more time as he begrudgingly loaded another $2,500 voucher in the machine. After losing $5,500 on Dragon Link and $10,000 overall he decided it was time to play Gong Gong Lai Fu. Thankfully, he won back $2,250 from a bonus.
However, the stipend didn’t last long as Vegas Matt went home from the casino penniless again.
3. VegasLowRoller Hits Double Major Jackpot Betting $7.50/Spin
VegasLowRoller is living proof that you don’t always need to bet big to win big. He was playing Bingo Frenzy: Stampede Shark for $7.50 per spin when he landed a Double Major Jackpot and took home 194x his original wager. All the action began around the 14-minute mark for Daniel.
He was lucky enough to trigger six bonus symbols, unlocking a profitable “Hold & Win” feature. As he got BINGO on rows and columns of five coins each, they combined to create one coin representing the total sum of his wagers. This cleared space for new symbols with each spin.
He landed not one, but two Major symbols worth $500 each on the bonus grid. By the end of it all, he won $1,455 at the Aliante. Not bad for someone who rarely bets more than $5 per spin!
4. Ruby Slots Brings Home The Bacon Playing Rich Little Piggies
Ruby was filming another episode of “Double Slot Play December” on Rich Little Piggies: World Class to celebrate the holiday season. She started off slow, betting $1.50 a spin on $125 in free play. While it’s nice to celebrate high-rolling victories, we love showing off huge multipliers.
Her first spin resulted in a $26 win, foreshadowing her victories to come. She spun the game’s “Bonus Wheel” four times, pocketing $21.32 and earning seven free games worth $1.50 each.
Like Buffalo Link, Rich Little Piggies has a retrigger option to keep bonuses forever. That’s how Ruby won $164.02, more than doubling the $125 in free play that she started with.
5. Pompsie Slots Gets So Close Yet So Far Away on Dragon Trio
We always like to save the best for last. Pompsie Slots and Greta hit the casino in rare form this week as they dropped $500 on Dragon Trio for our entertainment. Greta was up first. She chose to wager $4.40 per spin on a $0.05 bet denom, and she spent $98 before getting her first bonus.
Eight free spins on expanding reels gave her $39.50 in profits. Unfortunately, the couple weren’t able to land a second bonus round on the game. They cashed out $266.36 and switched to an identical Dragon Trio machine in hopes of landing the jackpot.
They lost their entire bankroll before sinking a final $300 into the game. Pompsie took the reins to max bet $5.76 per spin on a $0.02 bet denom, but this aggressive strategy left them empty handed at the conclusion of their session.
