The newest lucky traveler recently won $1,286,324 on a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> Triple Hot 777<\/em> slot game, the airport announced in a tweet on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The IGT-manufactured machine is located in the airport’s Terminal 3. The win was a progressive jackpot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The payout led to several congratulatory posts on the airport\u2019s Twitter page. One poster, named \u201cJoe Cal,\u201d commented, \u201cWill you guys save some jackpots for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another lucky traveler who was in Harry Reid\u2019s Terminal 1 in late June won $1.3-plus million in a slot payout.<\/p>\n

\n

On June 27<\/a>, the mystery player won $1,330,133.04 on the IGT Wheel of Fortune Triple Double Emeralds<\/em> machine, located in Harry Reid\u2019s Terminal 1 Esplanade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It appears last month\u2019s winner was on their way home when stopping to try their luck on the machine.<\/p>\n

$1B In Revenue<\/h2>\n

Over 36 years, the slots at Harry Reid (previously named McCarran International Airport) have generated more than $1 billion in revenue, according to Michael Gaughan\u2019s Airport Slot Concession<\/a>. The Las Vegas-based firm operates the slots at the busy airport.<\/p>\n

The airport slots generate about $39.8 million in gross revenue each year. That leads to about $34.4 million in average revenue for the airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In total, there are 1,430 slot machines at Harry Reid Airport.\u00a0The slot play helps to offset airport costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe slot machines located inside Harry Reid International Airport not only provide Las Vegas visitors \u2026 the opportunity to spend a few minutes at one of our slot machines while they wait for their flight, but \u2026 the revenue generated also helps lower the operating costs for airlines at the airport and those lower rates trickle down to tourists who plan on visiting Las Vegas,\u201d Patricia Ross, general manager of Michael Gaughan\u2019s Airport Slot Concession, said in a statement last October.<\/p>\n

Prior Payouts<\/h2>\n

In March 2022, a traveler from California, identified as \u201cWilliam J<\/a>.\u201d won $328,655 on a slot at Harry Reid. He also was playing a Wheel of Fortune<\/em> machine.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 25, 2021, a woman identified as \u201cMegan H.<\/a>\u201d of Flower Mound, Texas, won more than $302,000. She also was playing a Wheel of Fortune <\/em>slot in the B Concourse. In July 2020, \u201cKaoru H.,\u201d a woman from Torrance, Calif., played a Wheel of Fortune 4D<\/em> penny slot, located inside the airport\u2019s C Concourse. After landing, she tested her luck with a $5 spin on the slot and won $873,511.<\/p>\n

The largest jackpot believed to have ever been won at the Las Vegas airport was in 2005. That is when a player won $3,961,585.14.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only Harry Reid and Reno-Tahoe International Airport provide US travelers the chance to play slots. No other US airports offer this amenity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
