It doesn’t always take a lot to win big.

Last week a slot player at The Venetian turned $5.88 into $2,835,768 by playing the Dancing Drums Explosion slot.

The player, who asked to stay anonymous, matched three Explosion symbols in the Fu Babies bonus, according to a news release from The Venetian.

Several jackpots were won over the weekend from casinos across the Las Vegas Valley.
