One of the bigger news stories out of Memphis last Thursday as reported by News Channel 3 was a $3.5 million hit at a penny slot machine at a Tunica casino in Mississippi.
According to a report posted on PlaySlots4RealMoney.com, Gold Strike Casino’s progressive penny slot machine Cher finally gave up her $3,595,950.94 jackpot on a $4 bet. The winner requested to remain anonymous other than the fact that it was a man who resided in Memphis.
Real money gambling with pennies may seem like a waste of time for anyone looking to hit it big playing slots, but that theory has been proven wrong with this latest jackpot hit. The very nature of progressive slo t machines in any casino anywhere across the country or around the globe is to create the opportunity for jackpots to build. This one made its way to $3.5 million one penny at a time. Gold Strike Casino is actually located in Robinsonville, MS. As part of the Tunica Casio Resorts complex, it is a short drive from the Memphis area and it attracts quite a few visitors from across the Mississippi river on a year-round basis. Owned and operated by MGM Resorts, based out of Las Vegas, Gold Strike offers an expansive 50,000 square foot casino floor with an wide selection of slot machines, video poker and all the most popular table games.This highly popular gambling resort offers a full-service hotel complete with an indoor swimming pool, spa and fitness center. Also on-sight is the Millennium Theatre as an entertainment venue for concerts, shows and special events.
Some of the hottest acts touring the southeast corner of the country perform regularly at the Millennium and this summer’s lineup includes acts such as Tracy Lawrence, The Spin Doctors, Pat Benatar and Michael McDonald. One of the biggest stars of country music is scheduled to appear this fall with Trace Adkins taking the stage at the Millennium Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 27.
Gold Strike also offers Stage 2 Nightclub as the place to party all night long. This venue offers live music with a state-of-the-art sound, light and video system. It has become one of the hottest night clubs in the area that is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Live entertainment starts on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. to 11. p.m. Friday and Saturday night offers live entertainment starting at 9 p.m. and going all the way to 2:30 a.m.

A 24-hour dining option is Pickles & Jam featuring a variety of fresh, made to order menu items.The big jackpo t at Cher slots machine may no longer be up for grabs, but if you find yourself in the Memphis Areas anytime soon, be sure to make that trip across the river to Gold Strike Casino to try your luck at striking it rich at one of the top Mississippi casinos for real money gambling.
