When the last dumpling landed, the word “GRAND” popped up…. I could not believe it, and immediately started ugly crying. In public haha.
The first thing that popped into my head was my dad. He’s going through chemo, and needs a lot of dental work done that we can’t afford. I’m absolutely still in shock!!!!!! On $1.76, with $6 left in the machine!!!

Hitting a Grand on a $1.76 bet is already insane, but the story behind it makes it even heavier. Really glad the timing worked out for something that actually matters. Wishing your dad strength and a smooth recovery. Enjoy that moment, you earned it.
Thank you so much, your comment really means a lot. My dad was diagnosed last fall with pancreatic cancer, and he has still been making daily trips to see my mom, who suffered a stroke and became disabled a year ago.
Words can’t even describe the amount of pain my family has been through, so this is just such a blessing. It really, truly is, and couldn’t have happened at a better time.
That’s awesome! Congrats. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much, that really means a lot!! ❤️
That's awesome! I was playing Hot Pots on New Year's Eve 2 weeks ago and right before midnight my late Father's favorite song "Save the Last Dance For Me" was playing and the same Hot Pots bonus hit!
It nearly hit the Grand and I would have Looked Up and shouted "THANKS DAD!" as the Ball Dropped if it had, but I still had a great time and won a lot that trip! So I know exactly how you feel! Congrats!
The timing of your dad’s music and bonus is incredible, and I’m happy you got to experience a magical moment like that too. Hopefully the grand pops soon for you too!
Congratulations!
Thank you!!
That's such a nice win, congrats!
Every time I'm one dumpling away from the grand, I notice that when the reel spins, I never even see a dumpling appear in the box.
Thank you!!! And that’s what I actually noticed too! Whenever this game is one away from the grand, I never see a symbol. This time, a few of my spins HAD a symbol when it was one away. I remember sitting there seeing that and literally side eyeing the box, thinking “that’s f*cking weird” haha.
Fantastic! Which casino?
Encore in Boston!!
Hell yeah! Great luck
Congrats!
Congrats!!

Insane win! I love this game
Congratulations!!!
holy shit that's amazing. and one of those times it goes to someone who needs/deserves it. congratulations!
What a win legend 😍 Congratulations!!!
Wow 1 congrats 2 sorry to hear about your pops in 04 I lived with my grandma and she had breast cancer and dealt with chemo though it was her right breast 6 months check up it was in her left breast after chemo for both 6 month check up she still tested positive it was in her brain the whole time make sure you stay on top of the doctors
Im so sorry about your grandma. That is horrible, to not even catch the cancer location. Women’s healthcare is so bad sometimes…. I go with him to his appointments and help advocate for him, and help him when he forgets to mention something. We are lucky to be near some of the best hospitals in MA.
Congrats on the jackpot. Prayers for your family.
This gave me the chills. So happy for you. Sending you and your family all my best.
Thank you so much!! ❤️ I feel you on the chills… I’m not kidding when I say I ugly cried at the machine. It’s absolutely beyond surreal, I’m still in shock.
That is unreal on a 1.76 bet. I hope it helps your family a lot.
Happy for you, that's really exciting!
I watch a lot of slot streamers and frequent casinos and my bf and I had decided it was impossible to get a Grand on this game because we have never seen it! Many times one away, but never does it hit. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congrats! Fun machine too.

Congratulations. It’d also help to afford it if you stop sending money down the drown gambling though, just a thought
