The largest slot machine payout is $39,713,982.25 (£25,361,761) won by a 25-year-old software engineer from Los Angeles after putting in $100 (£64) in the Megabucks slot machine at the Excalibur Hotel-Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on 21 March 2003.
The man was in Las Vegas visiting his family and to watch college basketball's "March Madness" tournament. He said he had put in about $100 when he turned his head away for an instant. When he looked back, the winning symbols had lined up and he was $39 million richer. The progressive Megabucks jackpot is generally paid out in equal amounts over 25 years, although winners can negotiate other payoffs. The system links dollar slot machines in 157 Nevada casinos.
