'With 2020 being such a difficult year for everyone in Las Vegas, we couldn't be more thrilled to have a loyal and local player hit this jackpot,' said marketing director Christina Ellis, with Ellis Island. Robert Taylor hit the jackpot at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas last month but due to a slot machine glitch, he walked away unaware of his big win. 'It's not every Tuesday that you walk into your favorite local spot and leave with almost $1 million.'Įllis Island's spokesperson says the last time it saw a win this large was back in 2017 when a player hit a $747k jackpot, also on a Buffalo Grand machine. 'I've been playing at Ellis Island for years now and am absolutely in shock with this win,' said Frys.
