Tourist Turns $60 Bet into Nearly $2 Million Jackpot at The Encore Las Vegas
Luck was on one visitor’s side this weekend in Las Vegas. An anonymous player at The Encore walked away a millionaire after turning a single $60 wager into an incredible $1,935,806.31 win.
A $60 Spin Changes Everything
The life-changing win came while the player was enjoying Buffalo Power Pay, a popular Aristocrat slot title. The jackpot struck in the early hours of Sunday morning, around 1:45 a.m., when the casino floor was relatively quiet — a perfect moment for a surprise windfall.
While $60 is a bold wager by most standards, this international visitor’s confidence paid off in spectacular fashion. They are not a local resident, but they’ll certainly be leaving Las Vegas with unforgettable memories and a significantly heavier wallet.
Las Vegas — Still the Land of Big Wins
Though impressive, this jackpot is far from the only headline-grabbing win on the Strip this year. In April, another guest at Caesars Palace had a remarkable four-hour run on the Dragon Link slot series, landing four jackpots that totaled $1,486,000.
That player’s streak began with a $280,000 win at 10:50 p.m., followed by jackpots worth $287,500, $228,500, and finally a massive $690,000 at 2:02 a.m., leaving casino staff in disbelief.
Vegas Magic Never Sleeps
Stories like these continue to prove that Las Vegas remains the global capital of luck, where even a single spin can rewrite a visitor’s fortune. For some, the city’s bright lights and buzzing slots are more than entertainment — they’re the backdrop to life-changing moments.
