Yes, you can find legendaries in the slot machines. I have found three to date. All low level, because that is the only time my new characters play the machines - to get eridium for upgrades. Your chances of finding one are very low though. 3 legendaries with over 50 characters, and one very large number of spins of the wheel between them.
Tommy Glenn Carmichael was born in the mid-1950s during a time when technology was starting to advance more rapidly. Even as a child, knowing how and why a piece of technology works the way it does interested Tommy, which is probably why he decided to open a television merchandise and repair shop in the 1980s.
His shop was located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and it was called, “Ace TV Sales and Service.” Tommy’s business was an instant success, as it was the first of its kind in Tulsa, but as more and more stores like it started to open up, Tommy soon was losing too much revenue to stay afloat.
His business was breeching a shutdown around the same time that his third divorce was being processed. In addition to that, Tommy was still doing community service for his earlier convictions of drug possession. His life was falling apart right before his eyes but he was determined to turn things around.
Tommy’s friend from High School, Ray Ming, showed up to save the day.
He was certainly right! In the trunk was a miniature slot machine and a classic cheaters tool: a top-bottom joint.
Carmichael took the machine apart and started to learn the mechanics of the slot machine, so that he could truly understand how to use the top-bottom joint to his advantage. After many hours of practice, Tommy was finally ready to try out his new methods on a casino in Las Vegas.
Since it was his first time, Tommy decided to use this strategy on one of the nickel machines, somehow managing to win thirty-five dollars in just a matter of minutes. He then moved on to other machines in various casinos across Las Vegas, winning nearly ten thousand dollars in one weekend.
The man who just won $2.4 million from a slot machine in Las Vegas can't believe his luck.
Walter Misco said, 'It came as a real shock.'
Walter and Linda Misco, horse farmers from New Hampshire, were the winners of the jackpot who caused the bittersweet ending for a legendary slot machine at the MGM Grand Hotel, known as the 'Lion's Share.'
The machine is so old, it even has the old-fashioned 'one-armed bandit' handle.
As the Lion's Share jackpot grew and grew over the years, every gambler was drawn to this machine.
One frustrated player from three years ago said, 'Two point two million, baby! Come on get there!' and then 'Awww!' when he did not win.
It was estimated that the Lion's Share was played every five seconds for the past 20 years, which works out to be more than 126 million bets before the big pay day.
'There were always five or six standing in line to play the machine,' said Misco.
Even Misco had to wait his turn, but it was worth the wait.
Now, the Lion's Share has roared for the last time, and it has been retired. The horse farmer who tamed the Lion hopes to take it home.
'I can't wait to see that machine in my living room!' said Walter.
