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.

Mr. Money Bags is a throwback: a 3-reel, single-payline cabinet from Video Gaming Technologies (VGT) dating back to 2001, running on VGT's Live-Call Bingo system rather than a standard random number generator. Land the cigar-smoking businessman wild alongside a winning line and the payout doubles automatically. A signature "Red Screen" event can appear at random, turning the screen red and handing out a run of no-cost re-spins. The cabinet is also tied to a linked wide-area progressive, the Easy Money Jackpot, which made news in 2016 with a payout north of $600,000.
Mr. Money Bags looks like a classic mechanical-reel machine -- three reels, one payline, denominations running from a quarter up to $25 a credit, played three coins at a time -- but underneath it runs on VGT's Live-Call Bingo determination system rather than a traditional slot RNG. VGT built its Class II gaming machines this way for jurisdictions where bingo-style games are permitted where standard slot RNGs are not, a distinction that matters for the regulatory category the machine falls under even though it looks and plays like an ordinary reel slot to the player.
The machine's signature symbol is a cigar-smoking businessman, and landing him alongside any winning combination on the single payline automatically doubles that payout. A separate feature, nicknamed the Red Screen bonus, can appear at random during play: the screen briefly turns red and awards a run of no-cost re-spins scaled to the win that triggered it. It's a chance event built into the game rather than something that becomes more or less likely based on how a session has gone so far.
Mr. Money Bags is linked to VGT's wide-area Easy Money Jackpot, a progressive shared across multiple casinos. It made national gaming-industry headlines in December 2016 when it paid out $631,634.29 to a player at Comanche Red River Hotel Casino in Oklahoma before resetting to its $250,000 starting value -- a reminder that the linked jackpot on this cabinet is a real, documented prize pool, not just marketing copy.
