A Wisconsin women identified only as ‘Rhonda L’ hit a $1.4 million-dollar jackpot playing a progressive slot machine at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas on Tuesday morning. She was playing Scientific Machines’ Million Degrees slot machine when she hit nine spots on the reels to collect a grand total of $1,453,640.47 on the winning spin. Reading the PlaySlots4RealMoney.com post, it is hard to tell who was more excited with the big win, Rhonda L or Derek Stevens as the owner of the Golden Gate. His first tweet after the big win was, “Someone just hit the largest jackpot of my career. It happened @GoldenGateVegas 20 minutes ago. Driving in now, info and pic coming up. #NeverHadAMillion$Jackpot.” By early that afternoon, he took to Twitter again with, “Excited for Rhonda L from #Wisconsin! She just won $1,453,640.47 @GoldenGateVegas this morning. 9 Spots on @ScientificGames #MillionDegrees#FirstMillion$Winner! #DowntownLasVegas.” This second tweet was accompanied by a photo of Stevens and Rhonda L standing next to the winning machine. The lucky Wisconsin native was in town for a bingo tournament and killing time playing slots when she hit the jackpot.
When anyone wins a large jackpot at any casino, it works to create excitement for the real money casino industry as a whole. Slot Machines make up anywhere from 60 to 80 percent of a casino’s overall revenue according to industry figures. That percentage tends to be higher at Las Vegas casinos located downtown such as Golden Gate and the Freemont with a greater mix between locals and tourists playing slots.
