Gambler gets lucky with $1.50 bet on slot machine, wins jackpot at Las Vegas casino

A gambler hit a slot machine jackpot with a bet of a dollar and some change at a casino in Las Vegas.

Now, the player is $15,124.04 richer.

The lucky player sat at a Rich Little Hens Founding Fathers slot machine at the OYO Hotel & Casino, the casino said in a Nov. 4 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The visitor bet $1.50, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen until a jackpot message appeared.

“Little Hens = BIG payout! Congrats to Oliver on his $15,124 jackpot!” the casino wrote.

OYO Hotel & Casino is just east of the Strip.

Another gambler also recently got lucky in Vegas.

One visitor bet 80 cents on a slot machine at the Fremont Hotel & Casino and won over $14,000.
