Well you can say she is lucky and got even more luckier. She had won in the past 16k and now this. Yes she is a regular going to the casino once per week, but other are more frequent customers than that, and havent won anything that big in their lives, not even the 16k Ger visits paid up after all

Some people are more emotional when something happens in their lives, even if they receive good or bad news. It's like a shock for them and then it happens that they will collapse. The amount is very large for everyone and the joy of the moment makes you to touch the floor if you are not a strong person.

The question here is how much money she had spent before she won the 16k and then how much money of that 16 she lost in order to win the half million. Not that this must be the only possible scenario though. She may have won even more. But usually small wins are going back to the casino from the regular players

You can look on internet for details about how often Jackpots are won in slot games. If you're looking for operators you can find this thing, if the Sua government has no restrictions about this. Usually Americans have some restrictions on accessing some sites but jackpot winners in slot games i think they can see.

There are jackpots that have never been won in a slot. So they keep building in. And the highest the jackpot is, then the more people play, in order to hit it. And usually this happens with the slots that have higher buy ins, in order to trigger the feature. So besides the play in the rest of them, i think everyone is keeping an amount at the end for the big ones. At least this is what i do, in my rare casino visits

Huge congratulations to the jackpot winner! US$562,262.61. That's a substantial amount of money. What is this woman going to do with that kind of money? Is she going to start playing high-stakes slot games? I wonder how old she is.

It happens everywhere. Not only in america. Crime no doubt gets worst as the time goes. So protecting winners of this magnitude is a must. You get lucky for a moment in your life winning a life changing amount of money,\ and then all of a sudden becoming a target? Its really awful.
She's a weekly regular. My congrats to her but I have a feeling she already spent this kind of money there through the years overall. Who knows, if she is smart she will never go back, nothing will ever top this hault for sure.

I do not think she spent so much money in these slot games. If he is a rational person did not play a lot of money but if he is a gambler with addictive gambling then she gave up many things, to waste money in the casino. Anyway now she has to spend that money for her life not in casinos.

Article states she is a regular there. It means she is playing there frequently. Addict or not, every slot machine/game etc. is -EV so that is why I am sure that she is loosing more than not.
