Tiny Bet Scores Mind-Blowing Jackpot at Minnesota Casino
Do you plan ahead before going to the casino? I typically bring $100, expecting to lose it, but my main goal is to have fun and make it last as long as I can. I’m obviously not in the high-stakes crowd, but I really enjoy playing blackjack, and I’m usually good enough to keep my money going for hours. Sometimes, I even walk away with more than I started!
I enjoy sitting at the $5 table, placing small bets while soaking in the atmosphere, sipping drinks, and having fun. My best night was when I won $800, which felt amazing! Recently, one incredibly lucky gambler had an even bigger thrill by turning a tiny bet into a massive fortune at a Minnesota casino.

Recent Jackpot Winners in Minnesota:
I play blackjack pretty much exclusively when I go to the casino, but according to CDC Gaming, most people prefer slot machines. People enjoy the bright, noisy machines because they’re super easy to play and offer the chance to win big.
We've recently shared stories about three winners at Mystic Lake, Treasure Island Resort and Casino had a major winner who took home $151,000, and Black Bear Casino made headlines in the spring when someone won over $400,000. Today we’re celebrating a lucky person who placed a $3 bet and won a huge jackpot!
Tiny Bet Wins Big at Minnesota Casino
Black Bear Casino is in Carlton, Minnesota and features 1,800 modern video slot machines, a 12-story hotel, fine dining options, a concert venue, and an 18-hole golf course with a driving range.
I stayed at Black Bear once before running Grandma’s Marathon, and I had a great time. That night, I turned my $100 into $400, which was exciting, but it’s nothing compared to the latest big winner at the casino.
The casino, located just south of Duluth, recently congratulated a lucky guest on social media: “One lucky player hit the jackpot with a $3 bet and walked away with an incredible $175,000 on the Buffalo Lightning machine!”
