Within 36 hours of that 300th jackpot, two other lucky players hit mega-wins on WMS machines at other locations for a combined total of nearly USD 5 million in jackpots.
The second winner hit a jackpot of USD 953,220.95 on The Wizard of Oz Emerald City slot machine at Aquarius Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. The third jackpot was at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut on the Monopoly Luxury Diamonds slot machine for USD 2,593,251.74.
Dean Ehrlich, WMS Senior Vice President of Global Gaming Operations, said: “We are always thrilled to pay casino patrons larger-than-life jackpots, and we’ve had the opportunity to pay over USD 188,000,000 to winning players in the last 10 years. WMS is very proud to be a part of these life-changing moments.”
The first jackpot on a WMS wide-area progressive was on October 16, 2004, at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The casino patron won $221,503.71 on a WMS Monopoly Sevens game.
