Linda’s hit eclipsed former runner up Manuel Esteche’s $571,049 by almost $400,000. “I hit a $4,000 jackpot on ‘the Wheel’ last year, but nothing like this.”
“Wheel of Fortune is my favorite game because of their generous jackpots and I like the idea of spinning the wheel,” said Linda. The popular Wheel of Fortune slot machines, designed by International Game Technology PLC (“IGT”), are located just a few hundred feet from the casino’s valet entrance. Another $988,000-plus jackpot is still up for grabs on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Empire City. Linda’s score was the 12 th six-figure jackpot of the year. There’s no shortage of jackpots at Empire City.
