Wins, wins and more wins were on the agenda for our team of overzealous influencers this week. We’ve got some new creators on deck as the casino industry makes room for another wave of YouTubers, but one thing’s certain – there’s always something happening in Las Vegas!
Welcome to The Respin, a weekly article series that captures the hottest moments at the hottest casinos nationwide. In a project that’s the first of its kind, our team dedicates several hours each week to browsing YouTube and exploring new trends. This week, the Slot Hunters lead the way.
1. Slot Hunters Win 420x Their Wager Hunting the Big Bad Wolf
The Slot Hunters’ humorously named “Best of the Worst Tournament” had another contestant at the Margaritaville Casino this week – little did they know that Huff N’ Even More Puff would be a golden ticket to gigantic handpays. They put $1,000 into the machine and chose to bet $10/spin.
After losing a grand total of $1,372 on Mo’ Mummy and Eureka Blast a few days prior, they were here to turn the tables. They lost another $350 before landing five hard hats during a lucky spin, triggering six free games. They earned a total of 6 mansions for the Big, Bad Wolf to blow down.
He huffed, puffed, and left $788 in the wake of his destruction. Still, their night was far from over! At the 10-minute mark of this video, the Slot Hunters spun the Bonus Wheel to unlock the Super Mansions Feature. This time, a full screen of mansions revealed a far more generous jackpot.
Six Mini Bonus symbols, a Minor Bonus, and the remainder of their grid delivered a $4,295 win.
2. Mr. Handpay Spends $1,250 Per Spin In Hopes of Winning Big
Ever since The Big Jackpot won a million-dollar Grand Jackpot on high-limit Dragon Link back in December 2023, countless high-rolling YouTubers have tried and failed to replace Raja’s record.
Mr. Handpay was up at bat this week as he attempted to win $1.2 million on Dragon Link: Panda Magic. Had he been successful, he’d hold the record for the largest jackpot ever awarded on the game. He made it clear that he meant business as he added a $28,000 voucher to the machine.
He warmed up with $100 spins until he landed his first bonus, during which he collected $3,800 after obtaining 11 of the 15 bonus orbs required to win the Grand prize. As he continued filming, he upped the ante from $100 to $625 to $1,250 a spin before going back to his original bet size.
Needless to say, he left the casino penniless after getting taken for the equivalent of a brand-new Toyota Corolla.
3. Mr. Mike Slots Secures The Biggest Grand Jackpot Of His Life
Mr. Mike Slots isn’t always balling at the casino like his (admittedly) more popular peers, but he added another notch to his belt this week after landing the biggest grand jackpot of his life on Mo’ Mummy. He was betting $100 per spin at the Peppermill before he won a five-figure prize.
He jokingly remarked that he’d “found his sugar mummy” after his recent lucky streak on the game, which culminated in an epic handpay. After losing his first $3,000 in less than two minutes, he added another $10,000 to the machine in hopes of turning his luck around.
Mr. Mike was $6,157 in the hole when he landed a bonus that would put his name in the history books. As Mo’ Mummy continued growing in size, he gave Mr. Mike a handpay worth $16,475.
4. Vegas Low Roller Visits Japan For New Gambling Experiences
Vegas Low Roller might be a frequent flier in Las Vegas, but he took all those airline miles and put them towards a plane ticket halfway around the world. This week, Daniel found himself in Tokyo, Japan surrounded by colored strobes, J-Pop music, and high-tech Pachinko machines.
It’s nothing like your typical trip to the casino, but this pinball-inspired arcade game isn’t all that different from playing slots. Vegas Low Roller added 500 yen to the machine, which gave him a total of 500 balls to play with.
His objective was to get the balls in the middle and land three matching numbers. Although Dan didn’t have much luck with Pachinko, he did have the experience of a lifetime in another country.
5. Vegas Matt Earned All His Money Back From a Crushing Sesh
Vegas Matt was chilling at the casino with his son E.J. when he unexpectedly turned up the heat on Big Hot Flaming Pot. The dynamic duo added $3,000 to the machine and spent $57 per spin. It didn’t take very long before they had to add another $3,000 cash voucher to continue playing.
This time, they exercised a little more caution by dropping their bets from $57 to $52.80 a spin. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to save their bankroll. With more than $6,000 in losses, Vegas Matt brazenly put another $4,000 at stake. Finally, a bonus round earned him back $3,232.50.
We won’t spoil the full video, but he took a serious blow to his wallet at the end of the night. He turned his luck around with a one-and-done baccarat wager, earning back the $5,000 he lost.
