But for a slots player who recently won this amount in Las Vegas, the $14.3 million has simply provided a way for him to give back to charity.<\/p>\n<p>The man, whose name hasn&#8217;t been released, was playing Megabucks slots at Vegas&#8217; Rampart Casino. After spending just $20 over a five-minute span, the mystery man hit a jackpot worth\u00a0$14,282,544.<\/p>\n<p>Giving few details on himself, the guy only discussed his plans to donate almost all the winnings, while taking the rest of the money and building a new church for his religious group. Currently, they&#8217;re holding services in a high school gymnasium because they don&#8217;t have enough money for a building.<\/p>\n<p>The only way anybody will be able to identify this true Robin Hood of slots is from his picture (above). Jennifer Smith, a spokesperson for Rampart City, said that the player is in his late 50s and doesn&#8217;t gamble very often. However, he made an exception this time because he and a friend were visiting Sin City.<\/p>\n<p>The only one who offered a quote in the matter was the casino&#8217;s manager,\u00a0Michael Gaughan, who took this opportunity to pump up his gaming establishment.\u00a0\u201cWe pay large jackpots all the time, and just today we are paying $14 million to a lucky local,&#8221; said Gaughan. &#8220;We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting jackpot. It doesn\u2019t get any better than this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t get any better for the charitable causes who&#8217;ll be benefiting from this man&#8217;s generosity either. Many people have this stereotype of gamblers being degenerates that only care about their betting fix. However, this stereotype is far from the truth, as the most-recent Robin Hood of slots shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For most people, winning a $14.3 million slots jackpot would mean lavish cars, a huge mansion and unforgettable vacations.
