Massive $492,743 Wheel of Fortune Jackpot Win

Another lucky gambler strikes it rich in Las Vegas. “What Happens in Vegas Stays In Vegas”? Well, sometimes!  A guest at the MGM casino was playing the Wheel of Fortune Triple Hot 7 slot machine by IGT with only one quarter. He spins the wheels only five times. Suddenly, the player sees he hits the $492,763.64 jackpot. That day, IGT congratulated the lucky player on twitter by saying, “Congrats to the lucky #IGTJackpots player who won a massive $492,743 Wheel of Fortune jackpot at @parkmgm! #ParkMGM”



In the next story, an anonymous woman from Pennsylvania was visiting the Stratosphere casino in Las Vegas. Last Sunday, she was playing the Tarzan slot machine at the Strat Link Slot Lounge with only one penny.  After playing for some time, she increases her bet to two dollars.  After that, she hits the jackpot for a $64,829.61 win. Will a lucky streak continue in Las Vegas this week? Well, if it does, we will report it!

In the next story, the sports betting industry in The United States of America has been growing bigger and bigger. The notorious DraftKings Sportsbook in New Jersey may be going public in a reverse merger according to Gambling 911 Dot Com (those are the numbers 911).   It seems that  DraftKings is in talks to do an IPO with a blank-check acquisition company called Diamond Eagle.  

 

Lastly,  The Las Vegas casino giant, MGM seems like the was to sell more of their property their own on the Las #Vegas Strip.  It seems they reported a quarterly loss due in part to an impairment charge related to its sale of Circus Circus.   Now, they may be looking to cash out on more of their properties on the Las Vegas Strip. Jim Murren, the $MGM CEO and Chairman, had his quarterly conference call with investors.  While announcing third-quarter earnings, he says that a similar real estate sale for the MGM Grand may be take place by 2020.
