For anyone who thinks playing penny slots — as in, literally a penny, one red cent, a stinkin’ Lincoln, some dirty copper, an Abe, what have you — is a waste of time, Hard Rock Bet Casino would like a word.

On Sunday, a player from Plumsted, New Jersey, was playing IGT’s Wolf Run slot. (Hard Rock mentioned only a first name — Justin — like Madonna or Chewbacca.)

He was risking a penny per spin during the casino’s Jackpot Season promotion, which on this day was the Big Sunday Jackpot.

The entire jackpot promotion runs through July, with more than 2,000 jackpots and $1.5 million up for grabs.

Justin was happily spinning away when that penny turned into $70,718. 

That’s 7,071,800 stinkin’ Lincolns for those scoring at home.

7 million times his money

“Big Sunday Jackpot is the understatement of the week, as we just saw a 7,000,000x return off a penny wager. Jackpot Season really is for everyone, where you can win big even on the smallest of bets,” said Grant Williams, Hard Rock Digital’s SVP of casino. “Congrats to Justin, and thanks for playing at Hard Rock Bet.” 

Not a bad haul.

The Big Sunday Jackpot guarantees at least $50,000 to someone playing slots on Sundays from noon to 10 p.m. and continues through July 6.
