One winner is Michael Takes, who is from Cascade, Iowa. He was playing Let It Ride<\/em> at The LINQ Hotel + Experience. He won at 1 am Thursday with a mega progressive jackpot.<\/p>\n

\n

It paid $1,041,779, according to a company tweet. He had been playing for about 90 minutes before he won.<\/p>\n

Takes plays the game \u201cevery once in a while,\u201d Caesars Entertainment said in a statement. Takes revealed his plans to purchase a fishing boat with some of the money. Other funds will be put toward retirement savings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Big Poker Win at Caesars<\/h2>\n

On Wednesday night, Edward Marx of Spring, Texas, won $473,455 in a mega progressive jackpot at Caesars Palace. He was playing Pai Gow Poker.<\/p>\n

Marx played for about three hours when he won with a seven-card straight flush. He said he plans to save his winnings.<\/p>\n

He came to Las Vegas for a long weekend, the company statement added. He has played the same game previously. Three times he got a six-card straight flush.<\/p>\n

Both Marx and Takes are Caesars’ Rewards members. Members receive offers for gaming and credits. There are other benefits at hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and retailers.<\/p>\n

Prior Jackpots<\/h2>\n

Last month, a man who works as a painter won almost $2.4 million on a slot machine at Washington State\u2019s Tulalip Resort Casino<\/a>. That hit is reportedly a record for the tribal casino and is believed to be a record for the entire state.<\/p>\n

\n

Jose Lopez of Lynnwood, Wash., won $2,369,748.95 on the slot. He took a chance after his girlfriend, who was with him on the casino floor, encouraged him to take a spin, according to KCPQ<\/em>, a Seattle TV station. Lopez previously won $20,000 at the casino. He frequently plays there, the report said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The recent jackpot was won on a Golden Charms<\/em> slot machine.<\/p>\n

One California traveler won $328,655\u00a0 last month while playing a slot at Las Vegas\u2019 Harry Reid International Airport<\/a>. He is one of several big winners at the airport over recent years.<\/p>\n

The visitor was identified as William J. from Van Nuys. He chose not to reveal his last name.<\/p>\n

He apparently was at the airport, either waiting for or exiting a flight. He decided to play a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> slot machine in the B Concourse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
