Casino Gambling Pays $1 Million to Penny Slot Player
A patron playing pennies in a Wizard of Oz slot machine won over a million dollars on a progressive jackpot. The unidentified player was gambling on a Wizard of Oz slot at Spotlight 29 Casino in California when his last spin of the night hit for $1,086,636.
The retired patron said he had only played for thirty minutes when his wife came to get him to go home. He told her he wanted one more turn, and then bells were ringing and lights flashing.
The Wizard of Oz is the hottest new slot machine around. Produced by WMS Industries, the game has quickly become a player favorite making news from slot blogs to financial columns.
The game is even given credit as representing the WMS innovations that have helped the gaming manufacturer take a bite out of the market share of industry leader International Game Technology.
Billed by WMS as one in the Sensory Immersion Gaming line, the game features Bose Surround sound, top graphics, and interactive bonus games. Movie clips from the original motion picture play throughout the game.
The million-dollar jackpot represents the largest ever paid at Spotlight 29 Casino.
