A gambler recently struck it big in Las Vegas, but he wasn’t on the famed Strip. He landed his casino jackpot at Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, located five miles to its east.
The lucky player, identified as Paul in a picture shared by Sam’s Town on X (formerly Twitter), invested $1.76 at a Jackpot Extreme Carnival slot machine and was rewarded with an impressive $10,712.88 jackpot.

Jackpot Carnival Extreme features the Extreme Clown Bonus, which has two levels and can multiply your winnings by up to 50 times. The Extreme Hammer Bonus adds more excitement to Cash-on-Reels. You might also see the familiar Buffalo or Power of 88 Free Games appear on the screen.
List of Big Winners Growing at Sam’s Town
There’s a reason Sam’s Town claims on its website to be one of the largest and luckiest casinos on the Boulder Strip.
Another gambler, a man named Robert, was visiting Las Vegas from the UK and hit the Lightning Cash Grand Progressive Jackpot at Sam’s Town. He walked away with over $51,000 in prize money. No word on how much he invested before winning big.
This win follows closely on the heels of another triumph at the same casino, where a woman won $11,459 on a $1.20 bet at a Magic Treasures Dragon slot machine, while another bettor turned $2 into more than $10,000 on the Fu Dai Lian Lian Phoenix machine.
So, needless to say, Sam’s Town is on a heater, and it’s hard to argue with its claim.
What is the Boulder Strip?
The Nevada Gaming Commission uses the Boulder Strip gaming market to segment the casino industry in Las Vegas. This area gets its name from the Boulder Highway.
The Boulder Strip market relies more heavily on slot machines compared to Downtown Las Vegas, with its casinos primarily catering to local residents.
The Nevada Gaming Commission has stretched the definition of the Boulder Strip so that it includes not just the Boulder Hwy., but all of the casinos in the city of Henderson.
In addition to Sam’s Town, some of the resort and casinos you’ll find along the Boulder Strip include:
- Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa
- Sunset Station
- Boulder Station
- Fiesta Henderson
- Arizona Charlie’s Boulder
According to the American Gaming Association, the Boulder Strip ranks as the 10th highest-grossing casino market in the United States, just ahead of Reno. In fact, three of the top 20 gaming markets in the U.S. are in Nevada.
But if you prefer to have a live dealer casino experience without leaving home, you can do so online. Most states are beginning to offer live dealer online casino games, with the exception of Delaware, which has a limited selection of operators because its online gaming is managed by state lotteries.
