The casino announced the big win this week with lucky player Walter, a local to Yonkers, earning a prize from IGT\u2019s &#8220;<em>Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars<\/em>&#8221; slot game. The lucky player wagered just $20 and earned a jackpot prize totaling $925,488! <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"life-changing-wins-are-a-regular-occurrence\">Life-Changing Wins are a Regular Occurrence <\/h2>\n<p>The casino in Yonkers is known for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/blog\/biggest-casino-wins-in-las-vegas\">delivering life-changing wins<\/a> on a regular basis. Empire City is one of the larger casinos in the United States and has the biggest gaming floor in venues operated by MGM Resorts. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ed Domingo<\/strong>, the GM of Empire City, commented on the win, stating the casino is always excited to see one of its customers earn a life-changing prize. They congratulated Walter as he joins the long history of guests hitting jackpots close to $1 million at the property. <\/p>\n<p>The jackpot was a big win, but it is not the largest prize waiting to won at the casino. The casino now has a prize of over $1 million on the same slot game, Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars. The prize has already reset and reached new heights, waiting to be hit by one lucky player. <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Now that&#39;s a JACKPOT!! &#x1f4b0; &#x1f4b0; &#x1f4b0; <br \/>Congratulations to this lucky player that cashed in on Sunday for $925,488 playing the Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars slot machine with a $20 bet! &#x1f3b0; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CABJQt4lhj\">pic.twitter.com\/CABJQt4lhj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Empire City Casino (@EmpireCCasino) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmpireCCasino\/status\/1586357187038904325?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"big-wins-at-empire-city\">Big Wins at Empire City <\/h2>\n<p>The Yonkers casino is known for offering big prizes to players, including jackpots worth over $1 million. The most recent million dollar winner took place in July 2021, with <strong>Domingo Rodriguez<\/strong> earning just over $1 million by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/games\/slots\/real-money-slots\">playing a slot<\/a> at the casino. <\/p>\n<p>The biggest win ever recorded at the property was hit by a player named <strong>Theresa P<\/strong>. She earned just over $2.9 million in prize money. Interestingly enough, Theresa visited the casino again, and hit a jackpot of over $1.4 million just a few months after the first big jackpot win. <\/p>\n<p>Along with huge jackpot prizes, Empire City often hosts contests that visitors can take part in. Just recently, a player won a 2022 <strong>Chevy Silverado<\/strong>, a vehicle with a value of over $50,000. The player was a MGM Rewards member and took part in the October Trunk or Treat promotion. <\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if 2022 will end with a lucky player claiming the new IGT game prize or if the total will continue to climb for many months before a new winner is named. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary Walter is from Yonkers and won after betting $20 on Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars The IGT game produced the biggest win so far at the casino this year.
