What is the biggest win you've had at the casino? Me i was $1000.
My sister and brother-in-law went on holiday to Europe for six weeks and I volunteered to look after their five cats (Diddle, Hongi, Fluff, Pippin & Piglet), while they were away. They lived in the country, about 30 minutes from New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland.
I needed to have a quick look at a computer reference book, so went online and saw that the Auckland Public Library had a copy. I decided to go there on a Sunday, because there would be less traffic. The library opened at midday on Sundays and there was a parking building close by.
Half way between the motorway exit and parking building I found a free park, about a 10-15 minute walk to the library. Between my free car park and the library was the SkyCity Casino. It was about thirty minutes until the library opened, so I decided to go in for a quick “look”.
Note: This was in 2003 and you could still use cash (notes and coins) to play, without Id-cards etc.
After “investing” $50 on the
slots, it was close to Midday, so decided to leave for the library. On the way out, I checked my fob pocket and found a $2 coin. I put that in one of the closest slots to the exit and selected 1x10. Nothing happened. Pushed the play button again and nothing happened. I was on a $1 machine,
😳. Selected 1x1 and then heard an automated voice “The jackpot’s been struck, the jackpot’s been struck”. I thought some lucky “so in so” has won a jackpot and pressed the 1x1 play, to finish off my big $2 investment. Nothing happened and I then realised it was me, who had won the jackpot.
😵
I cannot remember the exact amount, but it was worth just over $5,000.
