if you play from time to time some jackpots slots, maybe you will have luck to hit something, no matter how big jackpot it is! but ofcourse this is for players who play on this kind of slots and can pay on bigger stake, not just small one's! somehow I dont think that you like this kind of slots or to play on stakes that this players are!

I will always say that these players deserve it, it is not easy to be able to play slots at high stakes, sometimes there will be days when you will lose a lot of money, that is why this is for brave people.

well if you look on that way, then most of gamblers deserve to win this kind of jackpots, because lot of them or at least half play on big stakes or 10, 20 per bet, so when you look at your words, then every of them deserve to win! ofcourse how then would casino earn money! thats why we have few of winners per year at some casino, local, online, no matter which!
an interesting and heartwarming but sad story! he thought he would play a slot machine in memory of his girlfriend to honour her memory and he played like her! I'd like to think that the Good lord and or his girlfriend took care of him like that, even though everyone knows full well that it won't bring his girlfriend back! I hope he gives his girlfriend's family some of the winnings! I cannot be disputed that he deserved to win that Jackpot!

maybe the spirit of his friends helped him to win or who knows. There are still paranormal things that have helped people in difficult situations and this proves that it is possible for any of us to experience something paranormal in our lives. Not necessarily a win at slots, but something serious that can save our lives, for example. Anyway, good luck for good money.

You could say it's a sad story with a happy ending. However, on the other hand, no amount of money will bring this girl back to life, and it will not give him relief from grief and sadness. Definitely his game was due to the fact that he wanted to forget about this difficult situation and did not expect himself to win. Well, these things usually happen when you least expect it.

if there were nice jackpots in the slot games and not necessarily with winnings of millions, it would be excellent. There would very often be players who would win and people would play in large numbers. I hope this happens because this solution would bring more players to play.

there are many people with sad stories, but this is part of the fate of humanity, because we all have one or more tragedies at some point in our lives. That's it and he has to continue his life with this win...
I hope he gives his girlfriend's family some of the winnings!
