Casino Guest Hits $109K at Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino
A player from Arizona was staying at a Nevada casino hotel when good luck struck and they flipped their first $25 wager into a six-figure payout

Another day, another jackpot has dropped. This time, the Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino has shared the good news of a player making it big earlier this month. While the casino took a while to impart the details, as the original win occurred on May 2, and the property only shared the news this week, the win is still one that will go down in the history of the casino.
The player placed a single $25 wager and managed to flip it into a $109,731 payday to be precise playing the Dragon Cash Bonus Reels Grand progressive game. The player hailed from Arizona, but no further details were provided as to who he or she may be or how they spent the rest of their time at the property.
As to the Pahrump Nugget Hotel and Casino, located at 681 Hwy. 160, the property is 45 miles away from Las Vegas, but continues to be a busy, albeit small operation. With its 69 guest rooms and top-class amenities, plus casino gaming floor, travelers are often tempted to bunk off before heading into Vegas.
In the meantime, jackpot won outside of Las Vegas are still an important contributor to Nevada’s gaming gross revenue, at a time of soaring performance for the industry across the country.
