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.

VGT's linked wide-area 'Mr. Money Bags Easy Money Jackpot' paid out $631,634.29 to a player at Comanche Red River Hotel Casino in Devol, Oklahoma on December 16, 2016, then reset to its $250,000 starting value. The press release doesn't say which of the eight linked VGT titles was actually being played when it hit.
The Red Screen bonus triggers on about 1 in 5 winning spins (roughly 20%), is random rather than 'due' after a losing streak, and awards up to about 5 no-cost re-spins that scale with the size of the win that triggered them.
Landing the Mr. Money Bags wild -- the cigar-smoking businessman -- alongside any winning combination on the single payline automatically doubles the payout.
