Little River Casino Resort | 2,000+ Slots, Table Games & Fine Dining

I was just killing time on a Wednesday afternoon, had maybe an hour before I needed to pick up my daughter from school. Started playing the progressive machine near the sports bar—wasn't even expecting much, honestly. Then all these lights went off and I heard the bells ringing. My hands were shaking so bad I could barely press the button to call the attendant. I kept saying 'this isn't real, this isn't real' over and over. We're putting half toward her college fund and using the rest to finally fix up the deck that's been falling apart for three years.

I'd been coming to Little River every month or so for blackjack—loved the dealers there, they're really good people. Was having an okay night up a little, down a little, and then I got into this incredible streak. Split aces, hit 21 four hands in a row, dealer kept busting. The guy next to me was buying me drinks and cheering me on. When I finally stepped away from the table, I counted my chips and could barely beleive the number. Paid off the car loan and booked a trip to see my brother in Arizona for the first time in five years.

I'd been playing in their monthly tournaments for about two years, never made it past the third round before. This time felt different—I was reading the table really well, making good decisions, not getting frustrated when I folded. Got down to the final table and my heart was pounding so hard I thought people could hear it. When I went all-in with pocket aces on the final hand and won, I actually stood up and walked away for a minute because I needed air. Used it to start the restaurant my wife and I have been dreaming about for a decade.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, just having fun, not really thinking about winning big. I was playing red and black combinations, kind of randomly picking numbers that meant something to us—our address, anniversary date, that kind of thing. Landed on a number I didn't even remember betting on and suddenly the whole pile of chips was mine. We both froze for like thirty seconds, then I started crying happy tears. Used it to take the whole faimly on a vacation to Disney that our kids have been asking for.

I'm not usually a big slots person, but Buffalo Gold was the only machine open that had my denomination. Sat down with no expectations, just wanted something to do while my buddy was at the craps table. Hit the free spins feature and everything just kept lining up perfectly. The multipliers kept getting bigger and I was just watching in disbelief. My buddy came over and said 'wait, that's your name on that sign?'—I didn't even realize they were putting me on the big board. Helped my mom with her mortgage and bought myself a decent used truck I've needed.

I work construction and I'm usually too tired to go out, but my crew convinced me to come along on a Friday night. Never played Three Card Poker before—they taught me the basics real quick at the table. Bet a little on the pair plus and caught some good hands early, built my confidence up. Then I hit a straight flush and the whole table went crazy. Everybody was slapping my shoulder, the dealers were smiling. Took the money and finally bought the tools I need to start doing my own side jobs.
