Gambler bets 88 cents on slot machine — then hits jackpot at Las Vegas casino
A gambler walked away from a Las Vegas casino with a jackpot prize after betting some change. The player sat at a Money Gong slot machine at the Durango Casino & Resort, the casino said in a May 11 post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The visitor bet 88 cents, hit spin and watched as the symbols flashed across the screen until a jackpot message appeared. 'Congrats to the lucky guest that just turned .88 into a $15,312.57 win on Money Gong,' the casino wrote on X. The Durango Casino & Resort is about a 10-mile drive southwest from the Las Vegas Strip. Other gamblers also have won big prizes at Vegas casinos recently. One player bet $25 on a Dragon Link slot machine at Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel and won more than $16,000. Another gambler won more than $20,000 at Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall off a Pinball Double Gold slot game.

Milan woman arrested; accused of cashing counterfeit savings bonds
A woman from Milan is in the Scott County Jail after police say she cashed several counterfeit United States Savings Bonds at banks across the Quad Cities. According to the criminal complaints, the defendant, identified as Dannatta Binion, 37, knowingly cashed a counterfeit U.S. Savings Bond at TBK Bank on Jersey Ridge Road in Davenport on October 18, 2024. Binion cashed the counterfeit bond for a total of $2,073.60. The bond was returned as counterfeit to TBK Bank on December 10, 2024. Binion allegedly deposited four counterfeit United States Savings Bonds at TBK Bank on Kimberly Road in Davenport on October 28, 2024, for a total of $8,294.40 or $2,073.60 per bond. All four bonds were returned as counterfeit to TBK Bank on November 20-21, 2024. All the bonds were marked as issued on June 19, 1992, which is consistent with the dates on other counterfeit bond cases in the area. The bonds were made out to Binion with an address where she lived in 2016. That would have been impossible to have printed on the bonds in 1992. The complaint says Binion opened the checking account with TBK Bank the same day she began to cash and deposit the counterfeit bonds. She is accused of cashing similar counterfeit bonds at other TBK Bank locations in Bettendorf and Milan. Binion admitted in a post-Miranda interview to cashing and depositing the bonds. A warrant was issued for Binion's arrest on March 18, and she was arrested on March 25 on seven counts of felony forgery and two counts of felony second-degree theft. She is being held in the Scott County Jail on a combined secured and cash-only bond of $10,000 while she waits for an initial court appearance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
