A visitor from Illinois turned a $4.80 slot wager into a $374,443.83 jackpot at Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino.

The player from Minonk, IL, won the statewide progressive jackpot on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 12.
Low-stakes bet lands six-figure payout
Westgate said the guest celebrated on the casino floor with other patrons and team members after the win.
Cami Christensen, president and general manager of Westgate Las Vegas, said:
“Seeing a guest hit a jackpot like this never gets old. With only three spins, $4.80 turned into more than $374,000. Those unexpected, only-in-Vegas moments are part of what makes the casino floor at Westgate so much fun, and we couldn’t be happier for our winner from Illinois.”
The source story did not identify the winner by name, and it did not specify which statewide progressive network paid the jackpot.
The latest win adds to a recent run of high-profile slot payouts at the resort. In June, a guest from Atlanta won more than $10 million at Westgate on a $5 Megabucks bet.
