As Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc across Florida, YouTuber and rapper Jason Jensen, who goes by “Greatness Reinvented,” found refuge at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. There, his unfortunate situation took on a silver lining as he won nearly $150,000 on a single spin.
Early Tuesday morning, around 7 a.m., Jensen was playing the Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming for high stakes: $1,250 per spin. One of his spins activated the Hold & Spin bonus, awarding $146,250.
But that wasn’t the end of his winning streak. According to his Instagram, Jensen won around $250,000 that day alone and added another $40,000 the next day. Full of confidence, he told his followers that he would try to win half a million. However, he hasn’t posted any updates since, so it’s unclear whether his luck ran out.
Greatness Reinvented is a rapper and a social media personality who built his brand around acts of kindness. His posts include distributing free food and money and “spreading blessings.” His YouTube channel has over 850,000 followers and 240 million views. Meanwhile, his Instagram page has nearly a million followers.
The Dragon Link slot Jensen was playing features in a high-profile lawsuit by Aristocrat against its rival, Light & Wonder. Dragon Link came out in 2016 and rapidly became a hit at retail casinos. Light & Wonder released Dragon Train this year, with similar features including the Hold & Spin that led to Jensen’s big win. However, Aristocrat has accused Light & Wonder of copying its game’s proprietary mathematical design and a preliminary injunction from the court has forced Light & Wonder to pull Dragon Train from the market until it reworks the math.
Over a Dozen Major Winners at MS Casinos This Year
While Mississippi does not offer online gambling, such as sports betting or online casinos, the state has a thriving retail casino industry that draws many visitors. Unsurprisingly, many walk away with hefty payouts.
Jensen’s win marked the seventh jackpot over $100,000 at Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. It was the fifteenth major win in South Mississippi casinos since March, ranging from $50,000 to two wins of over $1.2 million. Like Jensen, both six-figure jackpots were won on slot machines at Beau Rivage. One player also won on the Dragon Link slot but on a $1 denomination with a $25 minimum bet. Meanwhile, the other stuck luck on Wheel of Fortune Triple Gold Gold Spin, playing with a $1 wager.
