New Jersey Man Wins Jackpot Worth Over Half a Million in Atlantic City

On average, Casino Properties generate around $60 Billion per year of revenue from Slot Machines. The odds for you to win any money playing the slot machines at the Casino are one-in-5,000 lever pulls.

For comparison, your odds of winning any money on Video Poker is 98 percent, and winning money at a Craps Table inside a casino property is between 63-83 percent. While it is one in about 34 million odds you will hit the grand prize jackpot on a slot machine, this continues to be one of the most popular casino games each year.

But one person has won a jackpot worth more than half a million dollars this month at one of the Atlantic City Casino Properties.
