The fortunate player was enjoying the Wheel of Fortune slot game and after a $3.75 bet won the game’s $415,733.03 jackpot
Many gamblers dream of winning a massive jackpot with a little bet. While that’s not what happens most of the time, there are cases of fortunate players who turned a tiny wager into a six-figure prize. This is precisely what happened to one Hard Rock Hotel and Casino visitor in Atlantic City, New Jersey, who scored a whopping jackpot of more than $400,000.
Wheel of Fortune Pays a Big Jackpot
The popular hospitality and gaming destination confirmed the win late last week. One incredibly lucky player who enjoyed the Wheel of Fortune slot game placed a $3.75 bet. To their surprise, the winner scored the game’s jackpot for a staggering $415,733.03 payday.
In New Jersey, jackpot winners can remain anonymous if they wish. With that in mind, Hard Rock Casino Atlantic City did not release the name of the fortunate winner. This otherwise means that their identity may forever remain hidden.
Still, the casino confirmed that the incredibly lucky player placed a wide-area progressive bet on the Wheel of Fortune slot machine with a $0.25 denomination. Hard Rock Casino Atlantic City congratulated the winner on their impressive jackpot hit and wished luck to all future guests and winners.
More Players Win Jackpots in Atlantic City
The impressive six-figure jackpot comes after three other jackpots were hit back in September at Hard Rock Casino Atlantic City. Around the beginning of the month, the casino confirmed a Dragon Link winning spree that saw the games payout three five-figure jackpots in only two days.
One of the wins was a sweet $50,800 jackpot, while the second was of a similar amount, $51,000. To top it off, the third win saw a fortunate player secure $59,750, again from the popular Dragon Link slot game.
In other related news to the region, a visitor of Ocean Casino Resort collected a hefty win in mid-September. The player won a $1.46 million jackpot after placing a tiny $20 wager on Aristocrat Gaming’s Dollar Storm Caribbean Gold Link.
Elsewhere in Atlantic City, the debate on banning smoking in casinos across the city continues. Recently, Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald warned that a careless ban on smoking may impact the jobs of some 3,500 workers across the city.
