Minnesota Casino Players Hit Life-Changing Jackpots

Minnesota is home to 38 casinos, with the biggest ones being Mystic Lake, Treasure Island, Grand Casino Hinckley, Black Bear Casino, and Grand Casino Mille Lacs. All of them have been paying out big jackpots lately.

Whenever I go to a casino, I usually play blackjack, and the most I’ve won is a few hundred bucks. But according to CDC Gaming, most people prefer slot machines, and I’m starting to get why. Most of the big jackpots we’ve reported this year have come from slots, including the two recent winners featured below.

 2024 Jackpot Winners at Minnesota Casinos

Let’s look back at some lucky winners this year. The biggest jackpot of the year was reported back in April when one incredibly lucky person won over $400,000 at Black Bear Casino near Duluth.

That wasn’t the only big win at Black Bear—earlier this month, a $3 bet turned into a $175,000 payout for another player.

Treasure Island Resort and Casino in Welch has had its share of winners.

Earlier this year, TI congratulated a woman who scored a cool $64,000 during the March Madness tournament. In June, TI celebrated five lucky winners, including one who took home nearly $120,000. And last month, another player walked away with an impressive $150,000 jackpot.

Mystic Lake Casino has been handing out its share of big wins too.

They congratulated four major winners back in September, and just recently, they announced another massive payout—check out how much the latest big winner at Mystic Lake took home below!

Why Do Minnesotans Love Slot Machines?

800gambler.org says, “Playing Slots Releases Dopamine. This chemical heightens their sense of euphoria. It allows them to feel the same way they do after exercising or making love, and they want to experience this feeling again and again, no matter how many losses it takes from them to achieve it.”

Mystic Lake Casino Congratulates New Jackpot Winners

The Casino, located at 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd NW in Prior Lake, recently shared an update on social media congratulating 4 lucky people.

One of those people won $6,600 and another walked away with over $11,000. Both of these are great prizes and will definitely make for an awesome holiday, but the other two winners hit it big in a way that could truly change their lives. One took home over $129,000, and the other won even more, with a payout of over $184,000.
