A lucky gambler hit a massive $1.4 million Wheel of Fortune jackpot at The D Las Vegas on May 4, 2022.<\/p>\n

With a jackpot this big, it’s best not to round down.<\/p>\n

The jackpot was for $1,437,768.17.<\/p>\n

Insert nocturnal emission joke here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Big-ass slot jackpots are what Las Vegas is all about!<\/p>\n

As this news is super fresh (we shared news<\/a> of the jackpot first, of course), there’s not much information about the player who hit the Wheel of Fortune jackpot.<\/p>\n

Here’s a pic of the magical Triple Double Diamond machine, shared in a Tweet<\/a> from The D Las Vegas confirming our scoop.<\/p>\n

\"\"
So easy. Just line up the three thingies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a $1 denomination machine, with fives lines, so that means the player bet $5 to win the $1.4 million. That’s a solid return on investment.<\/p>\n

Another player won a $1 million jackpot on Wheel of Fortune at The D’s sister casino, Circa, on Nov. 14, 2021.<\/p>\n

It’s fun to keep tabs on who tips what<\/a> on such big wins, and by “fun,” of course, we mean “mortifying.” Mortifying because most people tip zilch on million-dollar jackpots. Cue the sad trombone.<\/p>\n

When a player wins on a WAP (wide area progressive), they get to choose between a lump sum or annuity, after taxes are withheld (usually 27% of the win).<\/p>\n

In the case of a $1,437,768.17 jackpot, that’s $388,197 off the top.<\/p>\n

If the player chooses an annuity, they’ll get yearly payments, and a check for the first payment up front.<\/p>\n

The slot manufacturer (in this case IGT) pays these big progressive jackpots, not the casino.<\/p>\n

You can find all the current jackpots<\/a> on IGT games at their official Web site. Reminder: Megabucks is sitting at $12 million. Time to get that sucker.<\/p>\n

Winning a million-dollar-plus jackpot on Wheel of Fortune (or any machine for that matter) is every slot player’s dream, and the dream is alive and well in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
