Linda and Walter Misco of Chester beat the odds on the most famous slot machine at the MGM Grand.

On Friday, Linda Misco suggested her husband try his hand at the Lion’s Share – the last of the casino’s 50 original progressive slot machines.

The growing jackpot was untouched for more than 20 years until Walter Misco, a 66-year-old retired businessman, took his chances.

When he hit the $2.4 million prize, he had a priceless moment with his wife, he said.

“I walked her over here to show her the machine so she didn’t have any idea until she looked at the machine. I’m afraid I can’t tell you the exact words that she used, but it began with ‘holy,’” Walter Misco said.

The Lion’s Share is by far the most popular of MGM’s slot machines.

“This game probably gets played about five times more than our average game on the casino floor,” said Justin Andrews, the executive director of slots at MGM Grand. “Our staff gets asked every single day, multiple times a day, where this game is from. People who haven’t played it before.”

People pulled the lever every 5 seconds, every single day using lucky charms and lucky moves.

“Oh, we try to change it up -- one, two, three pull or one, two, three spin,” Masami Imai said.

The Miscos had the golden touch. Now they’ll be able to put their five grandchildren through college, they said.
