Allen Kessler Hits Big Jackpot With an 80-Cent Spin

Allen Kessler won $13,156.16 with an 80-cent spin on the Money in the Bank Bacon Blvd slot machine at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. His winnings were the machine's Grand Jackpot prize.

Kessler was at BetMGM casino for the Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker tournament. After stepping away from the poker tables for a while, he turned to the slots and filled all 15 positions with symbols during the Hold and Spin bonus feature. This triggered the Grand Jackpot.

Kessler did not hide his surprise in a video he uploaded to the Chainsaw Slots channel. "My God, this is impossible. I was just playing, 80 cents," he said. Kessler, who said he had lost a lot of money this week, saw the win as an important boost during his Atlantic City trip.

It was also noted that Kessler hit a $1.2 million jackpot on a Buffalo machine at Thunder Valley Resort & Casino in Northern California in July 2024. That session lasted 12 hours, and he won after losing about $12,500. This time, however, he was not playing with an 80-cent spin. That day he had put $125 into the bonus features.
