Mr. Money Bags

Mr. Money Bags is a 3-reel, single-payline VGT cabinet dating back to 2001, running on VGT's Live-Call Bingo system instead of a standard RNG. Land the cigar-smoking wild next to a winning line and your payout doubles automatically. The wide-area Easy Money Jackpot linked to this cabinet has paid out over $600,000 in a single hit -- and the Red Screen bonus that can trigger it is pure chance, not something worth waiting out.
