Jackpot is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Elko County, Nevada, United States. The population was 855 as of the 2020 census.[3] Located less than one mile (1.6 km) from the Idaho border on US 93, Jackpot has been a popular casino gaming destination for residents of Idaho and other neighboring states since its founding.
Jackpot is located 47 miles (76 km) south of Twin Falls, Idaho, a city of approximately 50,000. Although officially part of the Elko micropolitan area, Jackpot is often considered part of the Greater Twin Falls region.[4]
In addition to its casino industry, Jackpot has its own schools,[5] golf course,[6] and post office.[7] Its elevation is approximately 5,200 feet (1,580 m) above sea level.
Jackpot observes Mountain Time,[8][9] as well as other Idaho border towns such as Jarbidge, Mountain City and Owyhee, which also observe Mountain Time,[8][9] due to its economic ties with the Magic Valley region of southern Idaho. The Nevada Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration recognize this local unofficial observance.[10][11][12]
