February 06, 2013
A Southern California slot player had more than a million reasons to celebrate
as the winner took home an International Game Technology (IGT) California
Megabucks® jackpot for $3,229,365 at Pala Casino Spa and Resort in Pala, Calif.
The Megabucks® player, who wished to remain anonymous, won while visiting the
casino on Friday night. The new multimillionaire was shocked and said, "I almost
fainted!"
"This $3-million Megabucks jackpot is the largest jackpot ever to hit at Pala
Casino Spa and Resort," said Bill Bembenek, Pala Casino Spa and Resort's chief
executive officer. "It is exciting to offer our Pala players so many ways to win
from our fantastic casino games to our $2 Million Cash and Cars Giveaway
promotion every Friday during February."
IGT's California Megabucks® can be played on more than 60 slot machines at 37
casinos throughout the state. Popular Megabucks® titles include Double 3x4x5x®
Pay, Megabucks Wild Sapphires® and Double Diamond Deluxe®.
"What a fantastic night for the lucky Megabucks® winner as IGT delivers again on
its Dream Big Win Big promise this weekend at Pala Casino Spa and Resort," said
Susan Cartwright, IGT vice president of Corporate Communications. "IGT
Megabucks® has paid out more than $5.6 billion in jackpots and transformed the
lives of so many players by making them instant millionaires. Congratulations to
this lucky winner on their life-changing win!"
IGT launched Megabucks® and the MegaJackpots® progressive product line in 1986,
and has since produced dozens of major winners with jackpots ranging from just
over $1 million (when one million dollars was the system's base jackpot) to the
world record slot jackpot of more than $39 million, won in March 2003 at the
Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
