International Game Technology (IGT) announced that a lucky player has managed to turn a $5 bet into a life-changing $10.1 million prize at Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Via a social media post, IGT announced that a visitor from California has won $10,159,321 after placing a $5 wager on a Megabucks Gold Forge slot.
Megabucks Big Wins
It may be big, but the jackpot isn't the biggest Megabucks jackpot ever won in Nevada.
Back in March 2003, a guest won $39.7 million at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
In April 2009, Reno resident Rachael Renee Romanick also won $33 million on the Megabucks slot machine at Terrible's Rail City in Sparks.
July 2023 Millionaires
Earlier this month of August, the company announced that its Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks slots awarded two millionaire jackpots in July. The combined jackpots have reached over $11.7 million for the month.
- July 7 - $10,488,726 prize on Megabucks Double Diamond Deluxe slot at the Cannery Casino Hotel in North Las Vegas. This is Nevada's second biggest Megabucks slot jackpot for this year.
- July 24 - $1,286,326 prize on Wheel of Fortune Triple Red Hot 7's at Michael Gaughan Airport Slots at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Megabucks by IGT, a progressive jackpot slot game that can be found at several casinos, was first launched in 1986. When you win in this game, you truly win big as it resets to $10 million!
