LAS VEGAS, Mar. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Smiles were abundant at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Fla., when a lucky player hit a life-changing $1,303,247.52 jackpot on IGT's (NYSE: IGT) legendary MegaJackpots® slot machine, Wheel of Fortune.

The fortunate player, who wished to remain anonymous, was casually playing $5 Wheel of Fortune Double Diamonds, when the most-loved slot machine of all-time sounded, signaling a big jackpot win. When the winner realized he had won the million-plus jackpot, he was overcome with a feeling of gratitude, acknowledging the extra money will allow him to "help his kids a little more." The winner stated that right before placing the winning-wager, he looked to his wife and advised that he was going to win for her - and well, he did!

IGT launched the MegaJackpots progressive product line in 1986 and has since produced thousands of winners with jackpots ranging from $1 million to the world-record slot jackpot of more than $39 million.

MegaJackpots games, including Wheel of Fortune slots, are created by IGT, a leader in the design, development and manufacture of gaming machines and systems products in casinos worldwide.
