A lucky casino patron has won a seven-figure jackpot after firing up the reels of a slot machine at a Mississippi casino. This was one of the biggest jackpots the property has awarded in recent history.
The Player Won $1.1M Off a $3 Bet
On January 6, Beau Rivage Casino, a gaming property in Biloxi, Mississippi, announced that an extremely lucky visitor had won a progressive jackpot of a jaw-dropping $1,132,274. The spectacular win was scored on one of the casino’s Wheel of Fortune “penny machine” slots.
What made the jackpot win even more special was the fact that it was won on a $0.01 denomination with a wager of just $3. Reports said that the winner was sitting before the machine for only 16 minutes before hitting it big. This exciting development proved once again that one does not need to be a high roller to win big at a casino.
Further reports suggested that the winner was a visitor from Baton Rouge who is a regular Beau Rivage player.
The Casino Congratulated the Winner
Beau Rivage Casino officials congratulated the winner, saying that their success was worth celebrating.
Congratulations to our lucky guest on an incredible $1,132,274 JACKPOT on Wheel of Fortune, won on a $0.01 denomination with just a $3.00 bet! You never know when the next big win will hit! Will you be next?
Beau Rivage Casino statement
Facebook followers of Beau Rivage Casino also commented on the development, with many congratulating the winner on taking a seven-figure sum home. One user jokingly added that the next time they are visiting Beau Rivage Casino, they will be bringing a ton of pennies.
Another user joked that they chose the wrong vacation to kick off 2026 and should have gone to Beau Rivage Casino instead.
More Casino Visitors Won Big During the Holidays
The anonymous Beau Rivage Casino winner isn’t the only player to hit it big at the turn of the year. A few days ago, an anonymous Quincy man who was playing at Encore Boston on New Year’s Day secured a prize of $1,620,335 off a single bet at the Royal 9 Baccarat progressive jackpot.
Elsewhere, a Seminole Casino Coconut Creek guest scooped up $1.3 million from a Dragon Link slot machine at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Florida just in time for Christmas.
