Lucky casino player spends $60 on slot machine — then wins much more in Las Vegas

People from all over the country — and the world — flock to Las Vegas to enjoy the nightlife, the entertainment and to try their luck at casinos.

One international traveler got their money’s worth when they hit a jackpot at the Encore at Wynn on July 14.

The lucky player put $60 into a Buffalo Power Pay slot machine and hit the $1,935,806.31 jackpot, according to a news release from the Wynn and Encore Las Vegas.

They won the big prize at 1:44 a.m., the hotel said.

The Wynn and Encore are two hotels with curved bronze-colored towers on the northern end of The Strip.

In March, a player landed a $1,037,828 jackpot from a slot machine in The Palazzo casino at The Venetian Resort, McClatchy News reported.

They wagered $25 on a Dragon Link game when they won.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
