Atlanta gambler was playing a mere three minutes when a $5 bet turned into $10.2 Million
The jackpot falls just short of Westgate's biggest ever in their 57 year history
An unnamed gambler won a jaw-dropping $10.2M Jackpot playing the Megabucks Wolf Run Eclipse game with just $5 at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino on Tuesday (June 16). Even more impressive perhaps, the jackpot was hit in just three minutes.
All that is known about this customer is that they reside in Atlanta, Georgia.
The property confirmed the win and says it is one of the biggest jackpots they have ever awarded.
Westgate is a 57-year-old property located just off The Strip.
The largest jackpot previously awarded at the Westgate was $10.7 million, won by a 78-year-old woman from Utah on a Megabucks slot machine in March 2015.
The most recent million dollar jackpot won here occurred last August with a $1.008 million payout on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
Wolf Run Eclipse is available online in both real-money and free-play/social casino formats at FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars in states where online casinos are regulated.
The Megabucks Wolf Run Eclipse version found at the Westgate is a linked progressive jackpot version. IGT introduced it in 2025 with the possibility of triggering the Megabucks jackpot through the wheel bonus or symbol combinations.
