Trainwreck Jackpot

Tyler ‘Trainwreck’ Niknam won an astounding $14 million while playing slots on Twitch, but he quickly warned viewers about the perils of gambling, stating they wouldn’t win and that he was still broke.

Train is the most popular Twitch gambling streamer. He occasionally wins huge sums of money in short spurts, but he consistently loses more than he wins and makes an effort to be open about it. On March 11, it happened again during his stream. Train won $14 million, his largest jackpot to date.

Nonetheless, he utilized the occasion to remind fans that he’s still down and that gambling can wreck people’s lives.

He yelled in awe; “Bro, it came! Oh my god! Finally, Holy f**k. We were just talking about it. I’m shaking, bro. It just came. Just like that. Out of nowhere. I was not expecting it like that. My hands are shaking.”

He did, however, warn viewers of the situation’s reality by airing a film in which he advises, “Do not gamble. Do not start. You won’t break even. You won’t win. You will only go into debt and ruin your life.”

Train also states in the video that regardless of how much he wins, he is “losing” and “down millions.” It’s something he’s talked about before, and it’s something he feels he can’t emphasize enough. 

He’s also paid to play, which is how he makes ends meet. For Train fans, it was a bittersweet occasion. On the one hand, they were ecstatic to see him win so much money, but the fact that he’s still millions in debt serves as a sharp reminder of how much he’s lost.
