DING-DING-DING — that’s the siren call of your jackpot dreams coming true at the push of a button. It can be that easy to become a jackpot millionaire in Las Vegas and it has.

Over the years, hundreds of people in Las Vegas have had their wildest dreams become reality as they walked into a casino a hopeful player and swaggered out a millionaire baller. More players have won $1 million+ slot jackpots in Nevada than anywhere else.

A big part of that millionaire bonanza is progressive slot machines. Progressive slots are linked machines with jackpots that grow as players across the country put money in and spin. Signs with the jackpot amounts are usually right above the machines and you can watch the jackpot rise steadily as a small percentage of all money played feeds the total.

Two of the most popular progressive slot machine games are Wheel of Fortune, based on the popular game show, and Megabucks. Megabucks has paid out more than $1 BILLION (yep, not a typo) in jackpots since it hit casino floors in 1986. Not to be outdone by Megabucks, Wheel of Fortune has created more than 1,000 millionaires nationwide and has paid out $3 BILLION in jackpots. OMG is this for reels? Sorry, bad slot machine pun. Seriously though, that’s a lot of dough.
