Candy Spelling wins $90k on Vegas slotsTalk about the 1 percent: Candy Spelling, the wealthy widow of TV producer Aaron Spelling, just won $90,000 at the slots in Las Vegas, according to TMZ. Yes, the woman famous for having rooms devoted to gift wrap and dolls in her ginormous mansion (which she sold earlier this year) just hit it big. Candy, mom to Tori Spelling, won her latest jackpot on the high stakes slots at the Bellagio, which run from $100 to $1,000 per spin. We say her latest jackpot because this seems to be Spelling’s most recent win. In 2007, the millionairess reportedly won $200,000 on the slots, and in 2008, she's said to have scored another $180,000! All three wins took place at the Bellagio.
It gets better: Just days after her 2007 win, Candy also reportedly won a Prius in her own charity raffle. She told TMZ, "I'm gonna drive it!" TMZ pegs Candy’s fortune as being in the $600 million range, but she may need her Vegas wins. She had to let the infamous Spelling Manor go for a paltry $85 million earlier this year - $65 million under the asking price.

It sounds like she might have a gambling problem!! Not that it would make much difference in her income but she probably had to spend about a million to get the 90k. And to sell her house for half of the asking price, that would be another sign she might be in trouble!!
The organizer, holder, or key charity figures should NOT enter the charity drawing! That's ridiculous.
good for her!
maybe she was low on gas money.
BUT HOW MUCH DID SHE LOSE? BWAHAHAHAHAHAH
I don't fault her for winning...people who can afford to throw away thousands in the hope of winning tens of thousands usually do win...but seriously why is this news? I think we have more important things going on in this country that are more worthy of reporting than this dribble...CNN you disappoint...heading over the MSNBC for real news...peace out!
id slip it to her for 90 grand
figures....
Good for her.
Why is this news?
This is truly lame.
I walk thru he Bellagio and my wallet is $200 lighter. Glad someone one. Still love the O show.
She probably spent a few hundred grand to get that 90...
"Why dont she give us people out of work some money." "in all honesty....she should have donated those items and money to a charity.....she certainly does not need it....shame on her"
From the script of the next great zombie apocalypse movie. "The Walking Liberals". Thanks for the idea Buck and MadCityBabe!
I say, hey, go for it.
Wretched. She should donate it!
She looks stoned in the photo, check out her eyes.
If she is stoned, I am so jealous – even if envy is a pitiful, wasted emotion hahahahahahahahahaha
It doesn't mention how much she spend before hitting her jackpots.
Don't you dare besmirch this lovely woman. And the Bellagio is a wonderful place where even you can be a big winner. I am thrilled for her, now she can afford to upgrade to first class on the long flight back to beverly hills. . . I typed all that with a straight face and then scrolled up to see her photo again, wow what a pig. I wonder if she is sleeping with the troll that guards the bellagio bridge. Or perhaps she IS the bellagio bridge troll. I do not know but I certainly am bored now. I wish something more interesting happened today to comment about.
The article fails to say how much money she wasted on the slots all the other times....likely more than the winnings.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SO QUICK TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR MONEY.
DERRICK.... YOU ARE AN IDIOT
Maybe she could buy herself a life
YAAAWN!!! Cry me a river you stupid bottled blond beeatch. Nobody cares. We real Americans are scrapping by, a concept you would never understand. Go F YOUSELF!!!
Sorry, but winning 90k on 1k slots isnt much.
That is only ninety credits on a 1000.00 per spin game, or 180 if you are playing a 500.00 per spin game..that is very common and really nothing when you are playing on that level.. Its just a shocker to us broke folk... Just take a stroll through the high roller area next time you are fortunate enough to go to the casino..you see it all the time.
She has so much money. She dont need no more. She is a hoard. Why dont she give us people out of work some money. My Govt. Checks are not enuf to support me. Ive been out of work for over a year and the checks are going to stop soon.
She should put the money toward a head transplant for horse head Tori.
This is the dumbest article I ever read. $90,000 slot wins on a $1000 per spin machine are very common. If Michael Jordan wins $200,000 playing $25k a hand blackjack is that news?
She has a lot of money to bet with – odds are she will win because she plays often and a lot
I noticed no mention of how much she has lost over the years. But as the horse players say, one good one makes up for a whole lot of bad ones.
This is a very misleading article ( advertisement). At 100.00 to 1000.00 dollors a spin how much did she lose before she hit the jack pot? Seems top me a 90,000 dolor jack pot is a small reward for a 100.00 to 1000.00 a spin. Dont be fooled by this article. Its no more than a press release by the Ballagio. They comp her room and invite photographers just for the press. Electronic slots are not risk and chance they are programed by employees of the Hotel. They may hit a 90,000 dollor jack pot every half million trys.
I'm sure Candy is always happy to have a little pocket change.
BOY DO YOU LOOK STUPID SEAN..GET LOST.
THAT'S HER HAIR AND NAIL MONEY FOR THIS WEEK. HAAAAAA
How about you all go get jobs and quit whining about not getting hand outs from the rich. LAZY IDIOTS
AND YOUR PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE LAZY IDIOTS...A PERSON WHO HAS A JOB WOULD NOT MAKE A STUPID COMMENT LIKE YOURS..JERK.
Actually, someone with a job is exactly the type of person who would make that comment. Give up on the free handouts thing!
Spending $100-$1000 a spin winning 90k on a spin is nothing. This is essentially equivalent to winning $900 on a $1 machine. A nice win, but likely to be lost again if you keep playing for a couple more hours.
IS THIS THE BEAVER?
Chinning!!!!!
That would be liking the average joe ( like Me) winning 60 dollars on the nickel slots big whoop
No... The rich don't just hand out money to the poor...without getting something in return – like publicity?
She should give the money to people who actually need it
and you should give away everything you own to the starving children – you have soooo much more than they do, right!!
Big win?? Wonder how much she spent to win 90k?? Bleh
Let's see... Ditzy looking blonde worth $600M... I'd guess she spent at least $10M to win the $90,000. Any smart gambler knows not to play slots.
in all honesty....she should have donated those items and money to a charity.....she certainly does not need it....shame on her
You don't know that she DIDN'T donate part/all of it, do you. Say what you want in your defense, but you truly, honestly, beyond a shadow of a doubt know - and neither do I. The difference is that I don't care. It's her money. She can win it and spend it any way she wants. And, yes, I'm envious. Any of us could use a fraction of that for, say, food? A trip? Band Aids...who knows. 🙂
Are you serous? What business is it of yours what she does with her money? Perhaps someone less wealthy than you should make some recommendations as to how you should spend your cash? Wealthy people like Candy feed the ecomomy. Her Vegas trips and the money spent on losses, hotel rooms, transportation, food and drink, entertainment, and myriad of other expenses support job opportunities for hundreds of people. The taxes on her winnings alone, tens of thousands of dollars, go back to the federal goverment to help support the nearly half of all Americans who don't pay $1 in taxes. Without big winning, big spending whales like her, more good, hard working people in numerous industries would be looking for jobs.
shame on her? who are you to judge? Since when it is shameful to be rich? Envy is a pitiful emotion.
Envy is natural, shame is toxic.
...the rich get rich and the poor have children...ain't we got fun?
she is playing a slot machine where the min bet is $100..she is losing alot more then she is winning.
Kill me now. She needed ninety grand to go with the hundreds of millions she already has.
I bet she gave Tori 90 cents out of that.....its because she loves her daughter soooooo much.....
Get a grip, she could have spend hundreds of thousands over the years, and even if she didn't what are you going to do about it? Envy and jealously terrible thing.
Whats up with all the smug, self righteous people shaming others for being envious? Judging others who judge others is redundant.
