In my younger days, I worked on a cruise ship. The #BestJackpot story ever for me (even though I didn't win) was when we were docked in Halifax, Canada. There was a really nice casino there, probably 1/3 the size of Winstar but very clean and had all of the new games. A lot of the crew would go there while we were in port. A fry cook from Indonesia who made about $800 per month working on the ship decided to play $50 on a $1 machine. He was down to his last $3 when, all of a sudden, he hit a $38,000 jackpot! All of the indonesians that worked on the ship partied like crazy in the crew bar that night and the big winner quit his cook job and caught a flight back home from the next port. #BestJackpot
