Not because I think I'm gonna hit it, but because it's easily the loosest slot I've played on the strip. A good way to rake up those MLife points.
I think the same about the Sigma Derby.
Just wondering if the progressive jackpot on the last remaining Lion's Share slot at MGM is still unclaimed?
I just called and spoke to Maureen in High Limit Slots who assures me that the Lion's Share slot machine has not yet hit.
I wouldn't play it, though, it's waiting for me to get there should I ever come to Vegas, so you'll probably lose money...j/k
Maureen was very nice, by the way. She was extremely cheerful, upbeat and knew which machine I was referring to immediately.

It is only a matter of time until this breaks and they cannot get parts. I play it every time I visit, if I can get on it.

Last time I was there it was having a hell of a time accepting a lot of my bills. Apparently they haven't (are unable to?) updated the bill reader. In the end I guess that ended up saving me money...

MGM should have a stash of old currency just for that machine it sounds like. :)
And when it hits, do you think they'll get rid of the dinosaur?

I'm sure they'll get rid of it. No casino wants a slot that requires an employee to pay out winnings (which Lion's Share does).
What is the max bet on this machine?
Max bet is: 3 X $1 = $3

It's only there as they have to pay out the jackpot to conform to the Gaming Board regs.
As soon as it hits, that thing will be wheeled away.
If you don’t know about the Lion’s Share slot machine at MGM Grand, you should probably skip this blog post. You don’t want to get sucked into its “Vortex of Allure,” which, we should note, would make a great band name.
Lion's Share Slot Machine Las Vegas Small
The Lion’s Share slot machine has reached near-legendary status over the years. The machine was one of 50 such machines rolled out when the MGM Grand opened in 1993. Now, it’s the last of its kind.
The Lion’s Share is a progressive slot machine, and due to gaming regulations, the MGM Grand can’t remove it from the casino until it pays the big jackpot, currently clocking in at $2,334,838.64, give or take.
You will be ours someday, Lion’s Share. Oh, yes, you will be ours.
The Lion’s Share slot machine sits just outside the high limit slot area at MGM Grand, and is rarely vacant.
This blog has personally invested several hundred bucks in trying to snag not only the progressive jackpot, but also Vegas immortality.

Beyond its storied history, the Lion’s Share machine is unique in that the winner will get the jackpot and the slot machine itself.
The Lion’s Share has become a bit of an annoyance for the casino. When it breaks, custom parts have to be fabricated from scratch. Also, there’s no ticket-in/ticket-out, so every time customers cash out, they have to be paid by hand. Every time, no matter the amount.

Of course, the hand-pay thing isn’t too big a deal because this machine is excruciatingly tight!

Still, few who know the story of the Lion’s Share slot can pass by without making a little investment. Good luck with that.
