LAS VEGAS— In an astonishing turn of luck, a local Hawaiian resident’s dreams came true at the California Hotel & Casino on Tuesday, August 6 with a massive Wheel of Fortune slots jackpot.
The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was playing IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slots just after 9 p.m. when she placed a $1.75 bet. After the player triggered a bonus event, the Wheel of Fortune pointer landed on a progressive jackpot of $891,775.72.
This marks the second major Wheel of Fortune slots jackpot at The Cal this summer, following a $1.5 million payout won by another Hawaiian visitor in June.
