Talk about a big win at Wynn.
A gambler got lucky at a slot machine in a Las Vegas casino. Now, they are more than $1 million richer.
The person hit the jackpot while playing a “Wheel of Fortune” slot machine at Encore at Wynn.
After placing a $9 bet, the unidentified player hit the spin button and watched the wheels go. When they were done, the “Call Attendant” message appeared across the screen, next to the jackpot total of $1,183,314.91
International Game Technology shared the news in a Facebook post and on its X (formerly Twitter) account. IGT is a gambling company that manufactures slot machines.

Wynn Golf Also Attracts Gamblers
The Wynn and Encore are two hotels with curved bronze-colored towers on the northern end of the Strip. It's also where you'll find the Wynn Golf Club.
Tom Fazio designed the course with dramatic elevation changes by moving over 400,000 cubic yards of earth. In 2019, Fazio and his son Logan renovated the course to accommodate the expansion of a casino and hotel, adding eight new holes and refurbishing the other 10. The par-70 course includes six par 3s, with the scenic 18th hole's green nestled at the base of a roaring waterfall.
