LAKE CHARLES, LA – One lucky Houstonian won big at the Golden Nugget Lake Charles Casino and is now IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slot’s 1,000th winner for a jackpot of over one million dollars. Within its first year of opening, Golden Nugget Lake Charles Casino is excited to announce that exactly $1,071,984 was awarded to one of their guests while playing IGT’s Wheel of Fortune dollar Triple Double Emeralds™ slot machine on Thursday, September 24.
The winner was vacationing at the newest, most luxurious casino on the Gulf Coast when they hit the Triple Double Emeralds jackpot within the first 20 minutes of play. The patron was playing the maximum bet on a $1 Triple Double Emeralds™ machine shortly after 10:30 a.m. when they hit the progressive payout. The new millionaire is still unsure how they will spend the money, but says they plan to celebrate with friends and family.

The magic of the Las Vegas casinos is not that there you can win a lot of money. The magic is that how exactly you can win a lot of money. For example, you can bet on a roulette a million dollars for red and win a million dollars. Not bad, but you can bet one dollar on the slot and also win a million-dollar jackpot. Of course, jackpot odds are much lower. So, the more pleasant is the prize!
Another story with a huge jackpot hit in slots of Las Vegas. And not one story, but two at once! It became known that at once two players in different places played on the Wheel of Fortune slot and both hit the big jackpot. One of the lucky ones who played in the establishment of Arizona, Charlie's Decatur, bet a dollar and hit the jackpot in the amount of $1,670,000. Great luck! The second win happened at the casino Wynn Las Vegas on the famous boulevard, where the player bet 25 cents, got into the bonus game Triple Hot Ice and won $343,000.

A lot of money, by the way. And the casino owners are very happy for the players. Why? They do have to part with big money, don't they? No, they don't. Such huge winnings are the best advertising for casinos, and it does not matter, real slots or slots in online casinos. Big winnings news stimulates players to play even more, even more often. All are firmly convinced that if someone is lucky with a dollar bet, then they will be lucky too. It often happens: players are inspired by someone's success, they play more and quite unexpectedly win. It is well known that the overwhelming majority of jackpots are hit by beginners, but not by professional players who spend years at gaming tables and slots.
By the way, the progressive jackpot is very convenient for the casino advertising campaign. The matter is that the winning pool of the progressive jackpot for months and sometimes for years is formed by the players themselves by contributing a certain percentage from each of their bets and from each of their losses. So, in essence, the casino does not lose its money. The accumulated amount is redistributed from the pockets of millions of players into the pocket of the one. There is some poetic justice in this story!
