The Club Serrano member made a $3 bet and had under a dollar left on the machine when they hit it big, according to a news release. Then, in the early hours of Thursday, the player returned to the slot machines to make a US$2,500 (about C$3,400) bet. In their most remarkable jackpot yet, the player won US$692,500 (nearly C$940,900). The odds for the Dragon Link game − manufactured by Aristocrat Gaming − are not posted outside of the machine. The player likely had a portion withheld for taxes as the casino is required to withhold 24% of winnings when the jackpot is more than 300 times the bet, according to H&R Block. In August, a visitor from California won $10.1 million on a $5 bet while playing Megabucks Gold Forge Slots at the Aria hotel-casino. IGT notes that the jackpot was hit on Oct. 18, and it marked the fourth time a Megabucks jackpot was hit in Nevada this year.
