VALLEY CENTER, Calif. (KGTV) — A Valley View Casino visitor recently hit the jackpot, walking away with nearly $200,000 from a slot machine.
A Maryland woman said she thought she was leaving the casino Friday thousands of dollars richer after hitting the jackpot on the slot machine — but a typo by the casino staff left her with. The casino’s not trying to get out of paying. Your best bet is to go grab a meal at the casino’s restaurant and start calling banks to find a good rate on a CD. If you’re a big winner, you’re incredibly lucky. That depends on the slot machine, of course, but all of them pay out on a relatively infrequent basis.

Jason says the win came less than five minutes after he sat down at the machine.
“When I realized I won, I was shocked. I didn’t know how I won or how much, but first I thank the Lord above,” said Jason. “I love coming to Valley View, my brother brings me here every time I’m in town, which I really enjoy.”

According to Casino.org, slot machines have one of the highest house edges in a casino, making it more challenging for a player to hit a jackpot, since every spin is an independent random number generation from the last.
