Resorts World NYC has announced its first-ever $1 million jackpot winner after a lucky New York City resident won big early on Thursday morning.
The casino, which became the first full casino in New York City last month when it launched live table games, announced that a guest scooped a $1,009,357.41 grand prize while playing the Aristocrat Million Dollar Dragon Link progressive slot machine, becoming the first player in the casino’s history to top $1 million on a single slot machine.
The winner, a New York City resident who works in Manhattan and wished to remain anonymous, hit the game’s jackpot during the machine’s free spins bonus feature by filling the screen with all 15 coin-like symbols shortly after 1 a.m. on May 14.
