Lucky Friday the 13th Winner Snags $1 Million IGT Progressive Jackpot
By Shane Addinall Aug 16, 2021 Big WinsOne astounded player found out just how lucky Friday the 13th can be when her favourite IGT slot machine turned her into an instant millionaire! Where do you stand on gambling and superstition?The origins of the myth that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day of the year has been lost to annals of time.
Some put the blame for the ominous date at the feet of Philip IV of France who arrested hundreds of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307. Others look to the trickster god Loki who crashed a banquet in Valhalla, becoming the 13th guest. He then tricked the blind deity Hodr into killing his own brother with a mistletoe-tipped arrow.
Whatever your stance on Friday the 13th the fact that it only comes around once per year does mean that anything of note that occurs will bear a certain significance.
It Doesn’t Always Stay In Vegas
One lucky Texan, Nora Davila, will definitely remember where she was on Friday the 13th 2021, and for all the right reasons. Make that one million right reasons.
You see Nora was visiting Las Vegas on vacation and in the early hours of Friday morning found herself playing a few games of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Double 3X4X5X Pay slot.
Clearly, the tricksters who haunt the halls of The Venetian Casino were out in full force this year and decided to have some fun with their unsuspecting guests. Nora saw her $2 spin transform into a life-changing $1,021,166 progressive jackpot win, making her an instant millionaire.
Venetian Jackpot Wonderland
What Nora didn’t know at the time was that she was not the only player to stumble into an exceptional jackpot win at The Venetian Resort last week.
Not three days earlier another lucky patron, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was playing a different IGT slot machine, the Wheel of Fortune Red Sevens, and turned a $5 bet into $1.5 million!
Much like the Mega Moolah and WowPot Online Slots by Microgaming, Wheel of Fortune Red Sevens is also a progressive jackpot slot where lining up the game's Wheel of Fortune symbols triggers its maximum jackpot payout.
