$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Mesa resident Rigoberto Munoz on May 19 won $1,332,819.44 on the dollar Wheel of Fortune slot machine at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort.
To receive a payout this large on a slot machine is extremely rare, according to a release.
“I was just about to leave and decided to put another $100 bill in there,” Mr. Munoz said in the release. “Then I hit the wheel of fortune, the big one. I’m really excited and can’t believe it — I’m still pinching myself. I have no words.”
A husband and father, Mr. Munoz has been a cardholder at the casino since last November.
Owned and operated by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, the new 166,341-square-foot We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort has gaming, a variety of specialty fine and casual dining restaurants, and live entertainment. The attached AAA Four Diamond hotel has 246 guestrooms and suites, 25,000 square feet of meeting space, the Amethyst Spa & Boutique, and two resort-style outdoor pools.
