The next best thing to hitting a million-dollar jackpot in Las Vegas is hearing about somebody else hitting one.<\/p>\n

Distant second, but still.<\/p>\n

A lucky high limit video poker player snagged a $1 million jackpot at Cosmopolitan on Labor Day, Sep. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

\"\"
So many zeroes, it’s like the gratuity line on a Raiders restaurant tab.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The jackpot was hit on a Ten Play Draw Poker machine. The game was Triple Double Bonus Poker.<\/p>\n

The winning hand was four aces with a “kicker.” (That’s four aces with a 2,3 or 4). Making the win even sweeter, the hand was dealt.<\/p>\n

The jackpot was won with a $1,250 spin.<\/p>\n

At the time of the win, the player only had $35,000 in credits left, so they were cutting it close!<\/p>\n

Seriously, though, high rollers live in an alternate reality the rest of us can only imagine.<\/p>\n

\"Cosmopolitan
If you’re looking for the high limit room at Cosmo, just follow the sparkle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to Cosmo, the win marks a new record for the largest, non-wide-area progressive at the Strip resort.<\/p>\n

A “wide-area progressive” (shortened to WAP in the casino industry), is a system that links slot machines across many casinos to generate large jackpots. Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks are examples of WAPs.<\/p>\n

WAP jackpots are paid by the machine manufacturer, while “local” progressives (sometimes called a “bank”) are paid by the casino. Local progressives are usually tied to an individual game.<\/p>\n

\"\"
There are probably more magical words than “jackpot handpay,” but we can’t think of any.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While a million-dollar win is great, it’s not really the best perk of playing in Cosmo’s high limit room.<\/p>\n

That would be the free cookies. The pandemic messed with the high limit cookies for a bit, but they’re back, individually wrapped now for greater sensitivity and protection.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The real jackpot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No word yet on what the player tipped for their million-dollar win, but we trust it was more than $200<\/a>. Ahem.<\/p>\n

The prospect of winning a big jackpot is why Las Vegas exists. Sin City was built upon two things: Optimism and short memories.<\/p>\n

Congrats to Cosmopolitan’s big winner, and we are in no way resentful for their good fortune! At all.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
