World Record Slot Jackpot Hits at Excalibur in Las Vegas
The largest slot machine jackpot in gaming history -- $39,713,982.25 -
-was won today on a Megabucks(R)machine at the Excalibur Hotel-Casino
on the Las Vegas Strip.
The winner, who requested anonymity, is a 25-year-old software
engineer from Los Angeles. He had been visiting family members in
Las Vegas and keeping track of college basketball's "March Madness"
with some friends. His uncle had told him about the Megabucks(R)
total and suggested that he play it. He said he'd played about $100
on the machine when he turned his head away from it for an instant.
When he looked at the machine again, the winning symbols had lined up.
The unmarried winner's birth date contains three sevens and an 11, so
this big win may have been in the cards for him. "I'm still stunned;
it doesn't seem real yet," the winner said. "But both of my parents
are still working, so some of this money will be used to fund their
retirement."
"This MegaJackpot(TM) is nearly $5 million more than the previous
worldrecord slot jackpot amount of $34.9 million," said John Sears,
vice president of MegaJackpots(TM) for IGT, the creator of Megabucks
(R). "This one goes into The Guinness Book of Records."
The $34.9 million jackpot, now the second-largest ever, was hit more
than three years ago at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas on Jan. 26, 2000.
In its 17-year history, Nevada Megabucks(R) has produced 58 major
winners,whose combined winnings total more than $425 million.
Megabucks(R) is a 3-coin dollar progressive slot machine that was
launched in Nevada casinos in March 1986. The Nevada progressive
system connects 691 slot machines in 160Nevada casinos to a top
jackpot that builds from a base amount of $7 million.The top jackpot
is paid in annual installments, upon verification of the win.
