Seneca Casino announces $546,389 winner
A recent visit to Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino turned into a trip of a lifetime for a Southern Tier resident.
Lisa Hargraves of Bath, located in Steuben County, won a $546,389 jackpot at the casino on Saturday, July 29. Hargraves was playing a $1 Wheel of Fortune Ultimate Sevens slot machine by IGT when three “Wheel of Fortune” symbols appeared on the payline. That triggered the Wide Area Progressive jackpot, and a memorable moment for Hargraves.
The machine at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino is part of a Wide Area Progressive network, which links machines at casinos across a large geographic region with a combined prize pool, creating the opportunity for large jackpots.
“The excitement of a guest experiencing such a memorable moment at our property is indescribable,” said Linda Hitchcock, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino general manager. “It’s obviously a great moment for the guest, and it’s exciting for our entire team as well. Sharing that experience with a guest who has just won a large jackpot and having Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino instantly become such an important and memorable place in their lives sends a surge of excitement throughout the entire property.”
Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino has been creating memorable moments for guests for nearly 20 years. The Southern Tier’s premier gaming and entertainment destination opened on the Seneca Nation’s Allegany Territory in Salamanca in May 2004. Today, the resort features more than 1,400 of the latest and most exciting slot machines, over 25 table games, outstanding dining, thrilling live entertainment, and a 413-room, AAA Four Diamond Award-winning hotel.
