Ghouls! Goblins! Cold slot machines!

October brings out the seasonal scaries, as people turn their attention to the mystique of Halloween.

Here's a breakdown of Vegas Matt's biggest slot machine wins so far in October 2026. (Note: SBR only tracks slot wins shown on the main Vegas Matt YouTube channel)

Vegas Matt's 5 biggest wins 

5. Free is Always Good ($11,000)

• Date: October 2
• Machine: Phoenix Link Sensei Master
• Bet: $500/spin
• Win Type: Free Feature (Hold 'n Spin)

Any Vegas Matt regular is keenly aware of how often the crew loves to play a progressive until the free feature hits. Often, the resulting bonus is a big fat fail, but the team enjoyed a modest victory back on Oct. 2, when it rode the free Sensei Master feature to a tidy 22x win. Most people would be fine with that, but you can probably understand why Vegas Matt wanted something bigger.

4. Nothing Mini About That ($12,500)

• Date: October 7
• Machine: Phoenix Link General Tso
• Bet: $500/spin
• Win Type: Hold 'n Spin

Matt usually takes a dim view of mini jackpots – but when they start adding up, he's a little more accepting of them. This and the third item on the countdown are proof of that, as the VM crew racked up four minis in the General Tso hold 'n spin for a solid 25x payout on their $500-per-spin dart throw. It was the second-biggest jackpot on an otherwise hum-drum day of massive spins.

3. Nothing Mini About That, Either ($13,000)

• Date: October 2
• Machine: Phoenix Link Sensei Master
• Bet: $500/spin
• Win Type: Hold 'n Spin

Sensei Master, like many of the other notable Phoenix Link games, will stack jackpots in one hit. And thus, the "triple mini" is the most sought-after of minis, and one that Vegas Matt and Friends enjoyed in their Oct. 2 foray into the deep end of the high-limit room. The team racked up four minis in total for a solid 26x victory. It was a payout that would end up as a distant second that day.

2. Making Them Count ($18,000)

• Date: October 7
• Machine: Phoenix Link General Tso
• Bet: $500/spin
• Win Type: Hold 'n Spin

Hitting only eight of the 15 squares in a hold 'n spin is generally considered an L in the bonus department. But this particular result didn't hurt at all, as Vegas Matt churned out a 4x-or-higher return on six of the eight Phoenixes - including a double mini, a triple mini, and a minor bonus. You know he wishes the board had filled out a little more, but a 36x return on just eight hits is a great return.

1. 2x Marks the Spot ($104,850)

• Date: October 2
• Machine: Phoenix Link Sensei Master
• Bet: 500/spin
• Win Type: Line pay (within bonus)

This win is the only thing keeping the Vegas Matt foursome in the black for the year. Connecting on a Sensei Master bonus just over 18 minutes into their October 2 video, the quartet hit paydirt on the third of six bonus spins, racking up seven 2x wilds in perfect alignment for what was easily their biggest score of the month.

The video is worth checking out just for the the two karate men who continue punching in tandem the whole time the jackpot dollars roll in - just skip ahead to the 18-minute mark and it's HI-YA!
