LUCKY N.Y. PLAYER WINS $216,306 WHEEL OF FORTUNE® SLOT MACHINE JACKPOT AT SENECA ALLEGANY CASINO & HOTEL SALAMANCA, N.Y. – A Western New York man recently won a progressive jackpot of $216,306 at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. The lucky pull came at 9:39 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9, on a MegaJackpots® Wheel of Fortune® 3x 4x 5x $0.50 slot machine – one of 2,000 overall slot machines on the gaming floor. The player, identified as Randy H. of West Seneca, N.Y., placed a maximum bet of $1.50 and hit the 3x, 4x and 5x Wheel of Fortune® symbols on the payout line. The progressive amount is linked to games at multiple Native American-owned casinos in the Northeast region. According to Gus Tsivikis, general manager at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel, the progressive jackpots available through International Game Technology (IGT) add to the excitement – and even larger jackpots are available to be won on property. “These IGT progressive games combine entertainment with a chance to win big jackpots, and our ability to link similar games at Seneca Allegany Casino with neighboring tribal casinos offers life-changing moments not available at racinos or smaller casinos,” Tsivikis said. “We congratulate Randy on his big win, and it’s a reminder to guests that jackpots can happen to anyone at any time.” MegaJackpots® games including Wheel of Fortune® slots are created by International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT).
