A lucky gambler in Las Vegas has struck gold, winning a jackpot of almost $2 million dollar. The guest was visiting Wynn Resorts’ Encore Las Vegas on the famed Las Vegas Strip and playing a slot by Aristocrat Gaming.
According to an official release from Wynn Resorts, the guest was firing up the reels of Buffalo Power Pay, an American wildlife-themed game. At around 1:45 am on Sunday, the guest hit the slot’s jackpot, securing them a $1,935,806.31 payday.
The winner, who remained unidentified in the official press release, won the jackpot on a $60 wager, Wynn Resorts reported. As of the time of this writing, no additional information is available.
Another Bison-Themed Slots Enthusiasts Won Jackpot Prizes
In any case, the Encore Las Vegas player isn’t the only recent gambler to emerge richer from playing a buffalo-themed title. BetMGM’s Borgata Online brand just handed a huge jackpot to a customer who was enjoying the Entain-developed Bison Fury.
An exclusive to BetMGM’s brands, Bison Fury is an exciting title best known for its 1,000 ways to win, thrilling bonus and progressive jackpot.
According to BetMGM, the player won $417,404 on a $18 wager. What made this victory so special, however, is the fact that it was the same player’s second jackpot in nine months. The aforementioned win was scored in May but in August 2023, the player had won an additional $1 million playing Bison Fury.
The lucky gambler thanked BetMGM and Borgata Online for giving them this opportunity and changing their life.
