Gambler Turns 50 Cent Bet into $10,000 Payout at Vegas Casino
The lucky devil did not expect to turn what was by all standards a meager wager into a solid payday

Playing at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino, a gambler turned a $0.50 wager into a solid payday.
The man, who was playing at the Las Vegas Casino, had decided to walk in and try his luck at the Super Buffalo slot machine.
Well, that was the right decision as he won $10,212.73 off his small wager on January 18.
He, though, is not the only person to have won a similar jackpot in recent days with another punter turning a $10,127.82 payday on the Buffalo Dash Cash, burnishing Palace Station Hotel and Casino’s credentials for extending excellent wins to players.
Lucky Number 50
As it turns out, however, $0.50 has been known to be just the right amount for many slot machines, triggering decent payouts. Another gambler was playing at a Las Vegas Casino, having bet $0.50, only to walk away with $11,915.
The lucky gambler was playing the Panda Magic slot machine at Main Street Station Casino Brewery Hotel turning the small bet into a respectable win, and stories like that are heard all over the Las Vegas Strip and beyond.
Pocket change has had quite a few moments at casinos in recent weeks. Another gambler bet $1.76 at the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa on an Abundant Fortune slot machine only to win and walk away with $31,595.20.
