The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is on fire ahead of Sin City’s busiest sporting weekend. A guest walked away with a $1,140,529 jackpot, the third Venetian jackpot to exceed seven figures in two weeks.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal cited a Venetian spokesperson who confirmed the anonymous guest hit the jackpot playing a $1m Dragon Link machine. According to the spokesperson, the player turned a $125 spin into $1.1m on Tuesday morning.
broke the Strip casino’s record by winning $3.8m
The guest’s win on the Aristocrat Gaming-manufactured device takes the Venetian’s major jackpot tally to more than $6.4m since November 5, the day another anonymity-preferring guest broke the Strip casino’s record by winning $3.8m playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em with a rare Spade Royal Flush.
Two days later, an Illinois guest won $1.5m playing Face Up Pai Gow with a straight flush. Both the winning hands that unlocked the Mega tier of Venetian’s Millionaire Progressive system came from table games, while Tuesday’s jackpot was won on a high-limit Dragon Link progressive slot.
While jackpots from slot machines often exceed seven figures, Tuesday’s win combined with the Venetian’s headline-making table game paydays gives the Strip casino great PR ahead of this weekend’s F1 Grand Prix.
