Jackpot!!!

[matin]

The word jackpot is derived from the game of poker. It dates back as far as 19th-century and the first player to get a pair of jacks won the pot. By the 1940s, jackpot was famous among casino gamblers in Las Vegas. There are different types of jackpots such as slot machines, poker, video poker, keno, blackjack and roulette. A jackpot is the highest possible prize in any game and can range from thousands to millions of dollars.

The largest slot jackpot ever won was the $39,710,826.36. It was won by a man on Megabucks at the Excalibur casino in Las Vegas on March 21, 2003. Other big wins are almost $14 million on the 25-cent Jeopardy slots and more than $11 million on the $1 Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
