US – IGT makes three millionaires in a week
By Phil - 17 October 2014
International Game Technology and the most-loved slot theme of all time, Wheel of Fortune, continued its millionaire-minting legacy by paying three, million-plus jackpots, totalling more than $4.9m, in a single week.
“No one pays jackpots like IGT,” said Eric Tom, IGT EVP of Global Sales. “Making three millionaires in a single week is truly what sets IGT’s Wheel of Fortune game family apart. It’s all about the entertainment and those life-changing jackpots.”
The triple-hitter week started at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on September 25, 2014. The lucky winner was playing Wheel of Fortune Double Diamond when she hit a staggering $1,193,195 jackpot. Caesars Entertainment enjoys an outstanding reputation for awarding jackpots with the company’s Millionaire Maker powered by Total Rewards program, and to date, has made more than 750 millionaires.
Several hours later in northern Nevada a player had lady luck on her side when hitting a colossal $1,104,875 jackpot on Wheel of Fortune 5X Pay at Club Cal Neva.
The next day on September 26, 2014 in Atlantic City, a player at the Golden Nugget was struck with luck when the winner walked away with an amazing $2,558,888 jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune $5 slot machine.
IGT launched Wheel of Fortune in 1996 and solidified the Company’s leadership in Wide Area Progressive technology. Known as the most successful slot title of all time, the fan-favourite theme has minted nearly 1,000 millionaires and delivered $3 billion in jackpots throughout its illustrious history. IGT has created more than 200 variations of the game that can be found on casino floors in more than 20 countries worldwide.
