Las Vegas: Off-Strip Casino Guest Hits $10K Jackpot on $2.50 Bet
The fortunate winner took home $10,883 after hitting a jackpot from the Dragon Link Panda Magic slot game

Every gambler’s dream is to win big. However, cases where fortunate people turn tiny bets into five, six or even seven-figure payouts undoubtedly bring enormous excitement. This is exactly what happened to several lucky gamblers who visited one off-Strip casino in Las Vegas recently.
Dragon Link Panda Magic Pays a Big Jackpot
Gold Coast Hotel and Casino is located west of the Las Vegas Strip, and it offers a range of gambling activities as well as hotel accommodation. Recently, one of the visitors of the off-Strip casino named Travis K., won a hefty jackpot after placing a bet of less than $5.
To be exact, the incredibly fortunate winner placed a $2.50 bet for a mind-blowing $10,883 jackpot, Gold Coast Casino announced this week. The visitor tried his luck at the fan-favorite Dragon Link Panda Magic slot game. To his surprise, after his tiny wager he collected the slot game’s grand jackpot.
Gold Cost Casino confirmed the win on Wednesday after posting on X, formerly Twitter: “Travis has the magic touch! Congratulations to Travis on his $10,883 jackpot win at Gold Coast Casino!” Undoubtedly, Travis will always remember his most recent visit to the popular off-Strip hotel and casino, especially considering the hefty jackpot he collected.
More Lucky Visitors Take Home Five-Figure Jackpots
At the beginning of the month, another Gold Coast Casino visitor hit a five-figure jackpot. At the time, a person who played on Light & Wonder’s Huff n Even More Puff scored a $10,035 win. Before hitting the jackpot, the lucky gambler placed an $8.00 bet.
After that, a visitor who played on Dragon Link Golden Gong secured another hefty jackpot. On October 9, Gold Coast Casino confirmed that a fortunate player won $17,914.36 from the popular game on a $10 bet.
More recently, last week, two visitors scored jackpots after playing Dragon Link Genghis Khan and Aristocrat’s Buffalo Gold Collection. The player who won from the former game took home a sweet $15,256.31 jackpot, while the gambler who enjoyed the second game scored a $12,529 payday.
Besides slots, Gold Coast Hotel and Casino offers a range of table games, bingo and keno. Visitors to the off-Strip hotel and casino resort can also enjoy its Gold Coast Race & Sports Book, among other non-gaming amenities.
