A woman from Oahu, Hawaii walked away with an $11million jackpot after placing a $3 bet on a “penny” slot game at Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. The guest tried her luck on an IGT Megabucks Wynn Wheel machine on the evening of Sunday 21st Aug 2016 when she hit the jackpot of $10,777,270.51. To be precise. All for a $3 spin! Well probably not 1 $3 spin, but certainly not $10m worth of $3 spins!
Unfortunately for her, at least $1m will be going straight to the taxman in Hawaii as the state charges 11% tax on casino winnings.
Megabucks Wynn Wheel is a custom game built specifically for Wynn Las Vegas. The game features owner and developer Steve Wynn’s portrait alongside custom video reels.
