My bottom line at the casino: I want to win! Don t we all? I m a casino player and I know that while I don t always expect to win I sure hope I will. We all love seeing people who have won. I love seeing someone win a huge jackpot in the casino and the next best thing is reading and seeing their photos here in the Southern California Gaming Guide. Every month the publisher receives many reader s phone calls and letters (yes you write letters!) telling her how much you want to see all kinds of winners: jackpots big and small on slots at the tables and winners of big casino promotions.

These lucky and happy casino players won big in the past three months. And yes I know you want as many details as possible. So I ve included a few of the back stories of some of these very lucky players. As you read on I bet you will visualize yourself a big casino winner whose photo could be on these pages or on one of the most-read pages of this paper the Winners page. Like many Southern California Gaming Guide readers you probably look at page 34 every month the Winners page and hope you ll be holding an over-sized check or smiling in front of a slot machine or an awesome luxury car imagining just how wonderful you will feel when you become a big casino winner. Southern California casinos have big winners all the time. Some players love to let people know they ve won while others keep their good news to themselves. So factor in the number of players who won and were camera shy. The number of recent winners so far has been incredible. Winning a big jackpot is every casino players dream. Most casino players dream of winning the "Big One" (or something close to it): the casino jackpot that will change their life or certainly make life a lot more fun with many more choices. Being a jackpot winner can happen anywhere anytime at the casino on a standalone slot a thrilling wide-area progressive a casino-wide progressive for players using their players club cards at a slot or poker tournament or at bingo or during an exciting casino promotion. And what s big? Well big is a relative word especially in the world of casino wins. For the purpose of this feature a big win is $10000 plus but $1200 would be a thrilling win to me. Let s take a look at some of the big slot winners to start. Thrilling Slot Jackpots At Barona Resort & Casino players (who weren t camera shy) won amazing slot jackpots. Ch uck won $45000 on a $1 slot and Victor won $24069 also on a $1 game. At Valley View Casino & Hotel Carol 2 / 5
