Who says you cannot bet small to win big? Recently in Las Vegas, a patron won a seven-figure jackpot playing penny slots. The real money casino gambling capital of the world is no stranger to huge payouts on small wagers, but that is why it is Las Vegas.
Which Casino In West Michigan Pays Out Its Third-Biggest Slots Jackpot?
A lucky Michigan resident was playing a .25 slot machine at that casino and hit a jackpot worth close to a quarter million dollars. The game was Wheel of Fortune and the actual winnings were $239,257.73. This was the third-largest jackpot Gun Lake Casino has paid out since opening its doors for business in 2011. The winner is from Portage, Michigan and they chose to remain anonymous following the big win.
“I felt good about the day and then it happened. It was unfricken-believable. I cannot wait to share with my friends and family. I have so many trips in mind that I cannot wait to go enjoy.”
Jose Flores is the vice president and general manager of Gun Lake Casino in the western part of the state. He was also quoted in the post by stating:
“There is a great buzz around the property with all of these recent wins. We are focused on providing an incredible entertainment experience for all of our guests. And, celebrating wins like this adds to the excitement.”

It also houses a poker room with 14 tables. Gun Lake also has a 225-seat dining venue along with a 300-seat buffet restaurant. There are a few bars and lounges with some offering live entertainment.
The owners of the casino property are the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians.
Some of the comments to the post on MLive did not necessarily share the winner’s or casino’s excitement. One person responded:
“Casinos are always promoting winning. Isn’t this false advertisement? Or is the caveat that it’s not long term winning? There’s nothing good about these scourges of society.”
Another reader asked if the casino paid for the article or was this just free advertising. They went on to ask, “how is this news?”
One progressive comment stated, “They need to install some pin ball machines and teach the dealers some card tricks.”
