Her $4 wager on the penny-denomination Wheel of Fortune slot machine in the casino's Gotham Palace at 8:57 p.m. pulled down the first six-figure jackpot of the year at the Yonkers casino, according to a release from Empire City Casino.
Last year, a dozen six-figure jackpots were hit at Empire City, including a near $1 million score by Linda H. of Thornwood who hit for $961,411 on the Wheel of Fortune on Nov. 13, the release said.
A still-growing $1.1 million jackpot, which would be the second largest in history, is up for grabs on yet another Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Empire City. Howard G. of Suffolk County, Long Island, scored Empire City’s record-breaker, a mind-blower worth $1,473,503 on the Wheel of Fortune Triple Star slot machine on Oct. 25, 2015.
