A Clark County resident won a casino jackpot valued at nearly $750,000 playing a slot machine at Ellis Island Casino and Brewery.
The 30-year-old hit the jackpot Saturday night while playing Aristocrat Leisure’s “Buffalo” game, according to Christina Ellis, director of marketing for the casino.
The woman asked to remain anonymous. The actual valued of the prize was $747,243.68, Ellis said. The woman was treated to a free dinner afterward.
It is the largest win at Ellis Island in more than a decade. In 2005, a 38-year-old man won $1 million playing Wheel of Fortune, Ellis said.
