me and my $40 didn’t hit! but i did watch an older woman sit there for 2.5 hours and when her $100 was done, she put in another.. and another… and then another. $400 total went down to 30 credits and i felt my turn was getting closer. then she hit 777 and won $600… kept playing until she got it down to $400 and FINALLY cashed out. luckily for the line of people behind me, my turn lasted all of 30 seconds, i didn’t even hit once. it was fun sitting with all of the people in line though, the couple in front of us let us go ahead of them because after almost 3 hours, we only had 20min before we had to head to the airport – very nice people and it was great meeting all of them.

Somebody’s gonna win it, might as well be you!

Please win this thing!

Please do! Or just win it, and we’ll be doing a story about you!

If it’s still around in March, I’ll post another story about my visit to this machine!

I was there back in March 2013, and after reading about the lore that is
Lion’s Share, I told my best friend (Sandeep) that we had to find and
play the machine, just to give it a whirl. We tracked it down on 3/22
around 8:45pm and it was open! We each put $20 in and agreed to split whatever we got
if we finished up. After 5-10min we were down to around $5-10 left, but
had a couple decent hits and got it up to $110! After a total of an
hour of playing, we got it down to $80 and decided to cash out,
effectively doubling our money ?? I remember taking a few pictures of it, so I looked them up just now, and the machine’s jackpot was $2,301,022.58 when we were finishing up. I’ll be back there in a couple months, and with a couple extra people, I think if it’s open we’ll all put in $20 in again and see what happens. Maybe it’ll be the perfect 30th birthday present (since that’s when I’ll be there!)

Wow, Robert, a true Lion’s Share fanatic. Thanks for the information, and appreciate hearing your thoughts.
