A Long Island couple won a $1.78 million jackpot after betting their last $10 on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine.Summary
A Long Island, NY couple, Louis and Sindy, hit a massive $1.78 million jackpot at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. The win occurred on a Monday afternoon when they were down to their final $10 bet on a Wheel of Fortune progressive slot machine. After a few pulls, their winnings grew to $670, but they decided to keep playing. They eventually landed the pay line for the high-limit Wheel of Fortune Double Times Pay 3x4x5x slots, with the signature Wheel of Fortune symbols landing across the reels. The couple, who are retired and moving to Melbourne, Florida, were initially unaware of the magnitude of their win. This jackpot is the largest ever at Resorts Casino Hotel and Atlantic City's biggest bricks & mortar jackpot of the year. The machine was a wide-area progressive, which is handled by the slot manufacturer IGT rather than the casino.
