Want to see all the times we've almost won the Megabucks? You know, just for fun?
Casino Royale
December 21st, 2025.
A lovely day for some Megabucks chasing at the most Royale Casino in Las Vegas.
Ok that's a good sign.
I have this theory that whenever one of the symbols shows up on the screen, it's possible for them all to circle back around and land on the payline within the next few spins.
So of course I was willing to play a few bucks.
I'm not mad, just pre-emptively dissapointed.
And then a few spins later, motherf*cker.
Quick note: if you ever make your wife this mad by not winning the Megabucks, but almost winning the Megabucks - it's best to just back away slowly. Very slowly. Incredibly slowly. So slowly your movements become imperceptable.
$3 bet, jackpot eligible.
But sure, $15 instead is just great.
Who wants $336,651 a year for the next 30 years anyway?
Thanks Casino Royale. You probably need the money more than we do, appearantly.

Valentine's Day.
Notice the text that says "Megabucks with 5 Megabucks on the Reels"
$3 bet, jackpot eligible.
She's (understandably) not happy.
4/5 needed for the Megabucks.
In school, that would be 80%.
That's a B (in more ways than one).
A passing grade.
Can't we at least get something on that??
First she was mad, now she is sad.
We always say you know you're lucky if you can win on Wolf Run.
I guess we weren't lucky that day.
Fountainebleau

$3 bet, jackpot eligible.
Enchanted gambling totem, engaged.
I don't think I have any other photos of this one because I'm pretty sure I just got up and walked off b/c I was so pissed right after.
Think we got like 1 symbol short of winning the MB during the bonus.
I was not a happy camper!

A normal day of light gambling, like any other...
Lucky gambling totem engaged.
I certainly am...
A micrometer below the payline - now I didn't bet $3.00 this time, so I don't think I would have gotten it anyway, but still, tell me that ain't some bullshit!
Sure, $1.25 instead is just great. Thank you OYO Hotel and Casino.
Park MGM
April 2nd, 2021.
Should just call it $10 million dollars or nothin'!
Plaza
February 14th, 2026.
Valentine's Day.
$3 bet, jackpot eligible.
Came up an inch short at the Plaza.
Isn't that the story of my life??
