Howard G of Suffolk County hit a record breaking jackpot after betting $20 on Wheel of Fortune® Triple Stars® slot and winning $1,473,503 million at Empire City Casino. The lucky hit took less than five spins by the Long Island resident on Sunday morning October 25th on the Wheel of Fortune® Triple Stars® slot game located right by the valet entrance of the casino. The game is not linked to a wide area progressive but can only be won on two games in Empire City.
The lucky winner thought it was only a matter of time before he hit it big as he had been playing at Las Vegas and Atlantic City as well. He plans to secure his and his wife’s retirement with the life changing sum. Speaking on behalf of the win, Howard G exclaimed, “I told everyone I knew I was going to hit that jackpot; my co-workers, family, and friends,” said Howard. “I was determined. It was part of my routine. I play my slots, then hit the blackjack tables, and always try for the (Wheel of Fortune) jackpot before I leave. This time, I started at the jackpot. And it worked!”
“I play at casinos in Vegas, Atlantic City and Biloxi, but I truly feel most comfortable at Empire City,” added Howard. “Not only do I love the gaming variety, but the staff is accommodating and friendly – they were so happy when I won!”
The record jackpot surpassed the previously held record by almost one million dollars which was hit by Manuel Esteche of Port Chester for $571,000 back in February 2015.
