WOW! After all this time. I have played this a couple times a year for quite a while. I had heard the winner gets the machine itself too!

20 years of dumping money in there. It just paid $2 million. How much money did it "eat" for 20 years before paying out the jackpot?

Depends on velocity of play. I ran the numbers for "always in use, 24/7" and it was close to $95 million. But that is without payouts. I have no idea what the payout percentage is on that machine.

My educated guess is that the machine made the resort somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million in free-and-clear profit.

Is cool that the MGM are trying to arrange for the winners to keep the machine. They are checking with authorities in New Hampshire to see the legalities of them putting it into their house there.

They'll do anything to get that think off their gaming floor. They've wanted to get rid of it for years, but couldn't till it hit.
