The mystery visitor is from Texas. It was the first time he had ever been to Resorts Casino Hotel.<\/p>\n

He was playing an IGT<\/a> Wheel of Fortune 4D Collector\u2019s Edition<\/em> progressive slot when he won $1,265,086.80.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s payout was the largest jackpot so far this year at Resorts Casino Hotel. It also represents the first jackpot of more than $1M won at the property since September 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resorts Casino Hotel opened in 1978. It has more than 1,300 slot machines and numerous table games.<\/p>\n

$727K Won in Michigan Casino<\/h2>\n

A Michigan man recently won $727,270 on a slot machine at the Gun Lake Casino<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s a record payout for the Wayland, Mich. gaming property.<\/p>\n

The guest, simply identified as \u201cJohn,\u201d who resides in Grandville, Mich., won the money on August 25.<\/p>\n

The progressive payout was from an Ultimate Fire Link Explosion<\/em> machine made by Light & Wonder.<\/p>\n

Here at Gun Lake Casino, we were thrilled by the payout to the lucky guest from West Michigan of over $727,000,\u201d<\/strong> casino general manager Jose Flores said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gun Lake Casino opened 12 years ago. It\u2019s owned by the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (Gun Lake Tribe).<\/p>\n

The gaming property has more than 2,500 slot machines, 47 table games, and a poker room.<\/p>\n

Gun Lake Casino broke ground last year on a $300M, 15-story hotel tower and six-story Aquadome. That\u2019s a domed pool and entertainment complex. It\u2019s scheduled to open in March 2025.<\/p>\n

Win Just Shy of $10K<\/h2>\n

A Palace Station Hotel and Casino<\/strong><\/a> guest recently won $9,999.99 on a slot machine at the off-Strip property in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The unnamed player won the payout on August 29.<\/p>\n

The person came up with three lucky seven symbols on a Double Gold <\/em>slot machine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s made by WGS.<\/p>\n

Orleans Casino $94K Payout<\/h2>\n

A mystery player won more than $94K while playing a slot machine at the Orleans Hotel & Casino<\/strong><\/a> in Las Vegas last month.<\/p>\n

The Boyd Gaming property announced the win on August 29.<\/p>\n

It was on an IGT Triple Hot Ice<\/em> progressive slot machine. The player had wagered $5.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Details weren\u2019t provided.<\/p>\n

The Orleans has more than 2,600 slot machines. It also features video poker and video keno machines, as well as table games and a poker room, plus a keno lounge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
