For most people, a trip to the casino is a form of entertainment where the dream of a life-changing win is part of the thrill.

Let's look at a few legendary tales of astonishing casino victories.

The record for the biggest-ever slot win was set in Las Vegas in 2003 at the Excalibur. A young programmer from L.A. put some money into a Megabucks machine to kill time before a game.

His incredible run caused some casinos to change their high-roller policies, and he was eventually banned from many establishments.
