$39.7 Million – Excalibur Casino, Las Vegas (2003)
A 25-year-old software engineer from Los Angeles achieved the biggest casino jackpot ever won by hitting $39.7 million on a Megabucks slot machine at the Excalibur Casino.

$27.6 Million – Palace Station, Las Vegas (1998)
A retired flight attendant hit a $27.6 million jackpot on a Megabucks slot machine at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino, making it one of the largest slot machine payouts at that time. Her initial plan was to only spend $100 at the slot machine, but she ended up spending $300 and was on her way to wagering her third hundred-dollar bill when she unexpectedly won back more than $27 million.
€17.8 Million ($20.1 Million) – PAF Online Casino (2013)
A Finnish player won the largest online casino jackpot ever recorded by hitting the Mega Fortune slot jackpot on the PAF online casino. The win was even recognized by the Guinness World Records.
