Megabucks hits for $12.1M at Strip casino

For the fourth time this year and third time in the Las Vegas Valley, a Megabucks machine has crowned a new millionaire.

A slots player won $12,185,766 on Megabucks Spitfire Multipliers Triple Red Hot 7s, according to an IGT Gaming spokesperson.

The winning spin hit Wednesday at Excalibur. It was the second-largest Megabucks win in Nevada this year, IGT said.

In April, a Reno woman won $14 million at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, the largest jackpot in that city’s history. That win was followed by a Las Vegas man’s $10.4 million win at the Cannery in July and a California visitor’s $10.1 million win at Aria in August.

More fun at MGM properties

Another MGM Resorts property was profitable for another gamer Saturday.

A slots player at Mandalay Bay won $1,384,493 on Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Triple Gold.

No other information was immediately available.
