$6,000 Welcome Bonus
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — One Hawaiian visitor to Las Vegas collected a life-changing prize at a southern Nevada resort Wednesday.
An anonymous guest from Hawaii is going home $1.5 million richer after hitting a jackpot at the California Hotel & Casino. The big win occurred on June 12 at a Wheel of Fortune slot machine when a $5 wager turned into $1,569,632.91.
“The winner attributed his tremendous luck to a red envelope he carried in his pocket during his visit, symbolizing good luck, prosperity and happiness,” said the news release from California Hotel & Casino.
The Wheel of Fortune slot machine has proven popular, with many jackpot announcements having been attributed to that particular brand, including a $643k win, a $1.3 million jackpot, and a $1.2 million win, all at Harry Reid International Airport.
