(KTNV) — A Las Vegas couple turned a $3.75 bet into a big win at El Cortez Hotel & Casino this week.
The pair of locals are now $829,606 richer, according to a casino spokesperson.
The jackpot was won on a Buffalo Diamond Extreme slot machine on Monday, March 4.
In a release announcing the jackpot win, an El Cortez spokesperson noted the hotel-casino is "one of the last remaining casinos to still offer almost 100 coin-operated slot machines."
"Las Vegas locals consistently vote El Cortez best locals casino, best playing slots, best table games, best players club and best downtown hotel," the casino spokesperson stated.
Opened in 1941, El Cortez remains one of the oldest resorts still operating in Las Vegas.
