The Sensation Of The Week In California: How To Turn a Penny Into $1.6 Million

A Californian hits a Jackpot at Valley View Casino

Some people may think it is impossible to win in a casino, but in some cases such a statement is refuted. One of the living proof of such fact is a man from California, who turned a penny slot spin into a seven-figure score last week.

A player, who identified himself as Robert .S. played the IGT Wheel of Fortune Ultra Wheels penny slot machine at the Valley View Casino in the country hotel in north San Diego. He struck the jackpot and won more than $1.6 million. Ever since this happened, the attention of the media has been shifted to him. During the interview, he shared that he could hardly believe that it has happened to him.

“I’m still in shock,” stated Robert. “I couldn’t sleep for two days. I was up tossing and turning and thought they would call me and say the machine malfunctioned.”

Moreover, Robert said that he is not going to gamble with his newfound wealth. He intends to invest this winning and use it as an additional income source for his upcoming early retirement.

Last month, a player from Oregon got a similar result from a slot machine at Chinook Winds Casino by turning a penny slot spin into $1.585 million
