超级金是最流行的老虎机游戏之一，并且有一些玩家通过定期发挥超级金游戏而变成百万富翁。在赌场世界，已经有许多老虎机超级金游戏的神话和传说。这些神话和传说，有些是真实的，有些纯属猜测的。
2001年，一个22岁的玩家决定在犹他州一家赌场里尝试一下他的运气，他选择了老虎机超级金游戏。他可能只是希望给自己减压，所以他只投注了2个硬币。然而，让他绝对震惊的是，他击中了一等奖 – 790万美元！但他只能带走10,000美元的安慰奖，因为他没有投注最大数量的硬币！
关于超级金的另一个传闻，有一个匿名的25岁青年通过发挥渐进式老虎机游戏赢得了近4000万美元，但同时他也遭遇了一场人生悲剧。有人说，他在一次飞机失事中死了，有人说他在一场车祸中死了，还有的甚至声称，他在拉斯维加斯因为食用过量棕榈死了。这些传闻的结果有一个基本点是相同的，就是那个年轻人有一天赢得了这笔巨款，但不久就死了。总之，他经历了一个真正的残酷扭曲的命运。然而Snopes.com表示，这个围绕超级金游戏的传闻是假的。
还有另外一个关于超级金的传闻，很多人说这是真实的故事。一个叫辛西娅周杰伦布伦南的37岁的鸡尾酒女招待，创下了3500万美元头奖6个星期后，就惨遇了一场车祸中，结果四肢瘫痪，她的妹妹则在此次事故中丧生。她们是在等绿灯的时候被一个醉酒的司机撞倒。

Megabucks is one of the most popular progressive slot games out there and regularly turns casino players into instant millionaires thanks to million dollar payouts. There have been many legends and myths connected to the Megabucks slot game and here are a couple which I found fascinating. Some are true, and some are speculations.
- In 2001, a 22 year old player decided to try his luck on Megabucks at the State Line Hotel and Casino in Utah. Probably hoping to save himself a buck, he played with 2 coins instead of the prerequisite three to put himself in line to win the jackpot. Imagine his absolute horror when he lined up all the necessary symbols to take home the massive first prize – $7.9 million! – but could only walk away with the $10,000 consolation prize because he hadn’t played the maximum number of coins!
- Another Megabucks legend has it that an anonymous young man of 25 won nearly $40 million playing the progressive slot game, and from the moment he did tragedy struck. At this point, the legend changes depending on who is doing the telling. Some say that he died in a plane crash, others say he died in a car accident and some even claim that he overdosed at the Palms in Las Vegas. The basic rumor remains the same, however – that the young man managed to win a huge sum of money one day and then died the next. A truly cruel twist of fate. Snopes.com, however, has dismissed the legends surrounding this particular Megabucks tale and state that they are false.
- A tale which many say is true is that of a 37 year old cocktail waitress, Cynthia Jay-Brennan, who hit a $35 million jackpot and tragically got involved in a car crash that left her a quadriplegic only six weeks later. Jay-Brennan’s sister was killed in the accident, which occurred when they were hit by a drunk driver while standing at a red light, waiting for it to turn green.
