California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas turned a Hawaiian player into a millionaire Monday after a lucky round at IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slot machine, which awarded the $1.3 million jackpot.
According to a press release from the casino, she made a $5 bet when the jackpot was hit, thus becoming the third Wheel of Fortune jackpot that has been won by a Hawaiian resident at a Boyd Gaming downtown Las Vegas property this year.
IGT’s Wheel Of Fortune slots have also awarded $2 million jackpots in January in Las Vegas. One of them took place on January 10, when a player won $1.4 million at the Gold Spin Triple Red Hot 7s title at Wynn Las Vegas; and the other was on January 21, resulting in a $1.1 million jackpot granted by the Gold Spin Deluxe Super Times Pay game at Fremont Hotel and Casino.
Wheel of Fortune slots has minted over 1,100 millionaires and awarded over $3.3 billion in jackpots since its launch in 1996.
