A lucky local resident hit a jackpot on Monday at Reno, Nev.\u2019s Grand Sierra Resort and Casino. The mystery player won $1,258,232.29 on a slot spin.<\/p>\n

Reno, Nev.\u2019s Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, pictured above. A player at the property recently won $1.2 million on a slot machine. (Image: Grand Sierra Resort and Casino)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The money was won on a Buffalo Diamond<\/em> slot machine, KTVN<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. The person wagered $4.<\/p>\n

We are so thrilled to see one of our local guests win this life-changing money,\u201d Shannon Keel, Grand Sierra Casino\u2019s president and general manager, said in a statement. \u201cWe are proud to call Northern Nevada home and are pleased to know the winnings will be helping someone in our community.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The player wished to remain anonymous. No details were released about the winner. Nor is it known how long he\/she was playing before hitting the jackpot.<\/p>\n

Aristocrat Leisure<\/a>, the game’s manufacturer, is an Australian-based company. It provides mobile and casino games, in particular slot machines. It offers gaming content, too.<\/p>\n

July Jackpot<\/h2>\n

Last July, Grand Sierra Casino paid out a major jackpot to another lucky slot player who won $1.4 million, KOLO<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

The casino identified the player as \u201cKathryn J.\u201d She hit the jackpot while playing a Wheel of Fortune Triple Red Hot 7s<\/em> slot machine made by International Game Technology<\/a> (IGT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winner said she would use the money to travel and pay some bills. She was described as the wife of comedian Justin Rupple, who performs comedy and impressions.<\/p>\n

IGT is a UK-based gaming technology company. It provides back-end services and solutions for lotteries and sportsbooks and manufactures slot machines.<\/p>\n

Gambling Expanding<\/h2>\n

The Reno-Sparks region is seeing expanded gambling. Olympia Gaming opened the $120 million Legends Bay Casino<\/a> at The Outlets at Legends shopping center in Sparks in August. About half of Legends Bay\u2019s 80,000 square feet is used for gaming.<\/p>\n

That includes 650 slot and video poker machines and table games, such as craps, roulette, three-card poker, ultimate Texas Hold \u2019em, and keno.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Legends Bay also has a Circa Sports sportsbook. It is the company\u2019s sixth sportsbook in Nevada.<\/p>\n

Casino Proposed<\/h2>\n

In addition, a new hotel-casino was recently proposed for a 20-acre parcel near the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.<\/p>\n

\n

As envisioned, it will feature a 65,000-square-foot casino floor. Some 1,250 slot machines, over 40 table games, and a sportsbook are planned for the location. The hotel will include 201 guestrooms and 48 suites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before construction can begin, Reno city officials need to approve the project. For now, it is being called the Firecreek Crossing Resort-Casino<\/a>. The developer is San Diego-based Elevation Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Overall, Reno reported $728.4 million in gaming revenue in 2021. That’s the most revenue in a single year since 2007, the Nevada Independent<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

The expansion of gaming follows the closing of a well-known Reno gaming property. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Harrah\u2019s Reno was permanently shuttered. It was repurposed into Reno City Center, a mixed-use facility that no longer offers gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
