Some people wait a lifetime to hit a grand jackpot on a slot machine. Allen Kessler has now managed it twice in little more than two years, and his latest win came from the smallest wager you can make in a casino.
The "Chainsaw" scooped $13,156.16 while playing the Money in the Bank Bacon Blvd slot machine at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, where he's attending the Borgata Fall Poker Open.
Kessler is at the BetMGM casino for the Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker, but found time away from the poker tables to try his luck on the slots. That decision paid off handsomely, with Kessler landing the game's Grand Jackpot after filling all 15 positions during its Hold and Spin bonus.
And judging by his reaction from the video he uploaded to his Chainsaw Slots channel, even Kessler couldn't quite believe what he'd just pulled off.
"Oh my God, that's impossible. I was just playing around, 80 cents," Kessler exclaimed.
Kessler Goes the Whole Hog at Borgata
The Money in the Bank Bacon Blvd slot machine delivered a result that Kessler certainly wasn't expecting when he sat down to play.
After entering the Hold and Spin bonus feature, Kessler managed to fill all 15 available positions with symbols. That triggered the game's Grand Jackpot, just like when a Las Vegas gambler turned a $50 spin into a $5 million jackpot last month.
The result also provided a welcome financial boost during Kessler's Atlantic City trip, especially after he admitted to being "stuck so much money this week."
"That is incredible. I've never even seen that," he added, still struggling to believe what had just happened.
Remember When Kessler Won $1.2 Million?
Of course, this isn't Kessler's first encounter with a Grand Jackpot. In fact, his latest five-figure windfall looks relatively modest compared with what happened in July 2024.
Back then, Kessler hit a $1.2 million jackpot on a Buffalo slot machine at Thunder Valley Resort & Casino in Northern California.
That win came during a marathon 12-hour session in which Kessler had reportedly lost around $12,500 before striking gold. Unlike his latest 80-cent spin, he had been spending $125 to purchase bonus features.
The seven-figure payout also presented Kessler with a decision of either collecting $805,120 immediately or receive $60,505 annually for 20 years.
Kessler turned to his followers on X for advice, prompting a lively debate where more than 5,200 people voted in his poll, with around 90% favouring the lump sum. In the end, Kessler took the $805K.
