Mississippi Man Hits Two Jackpots in One Weekend

Kevin Baker from Mississippi won jackpots on two separate slot machines at the Beau Rivage casino in the Gulf Coast region. Baker, who lives in Biloxi and visits the casino often, received $156,476.27 when he hit a jackpot on the Magic Treasures Gold machine last Thursday (October 29), betting $100 per spin.

Less than 72 hours later, on Sunday, November 1, Baker was back at Beau Rivage. He hit a $143,898.87 jackpot during a round on the Lightning 10-Year Storm machine, where he was betting $10. The total of the two payouts came to $300,375.14.

According to a report by the Sun Herald, the two payouts were the 47th and 48th slot prizes of over 100,000 dollars this year in the Gulf Coast region. Beau Rivage has hosted 30 such six-figure payouts. The largest slot jackpot in the region this year was also at the same casino, a $1,132,124 win on the Wheel of Fortune machine on January 5.

This year, the 48 slot jackpots in the Gulf Coast have paid a total of $8,537,373, with an average of $177,861.93. Starting January 1, 2026, the threshold that requires a slot attendant to come and make the payout was raised to $2,000 from $1,200. The change was made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Casino.org reported in August 2025 that a player hit 389 slot jackpots in a single day at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. Hard Rock confirmed the incident.
