A visitor from Texas was at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday when she tried her luck on a slot by the Las Vegas terminal’s A Gates. It was a very lucrative decision.

She won $643,434.41 on the slot machine. The payout was on a Wheel of Fortune Triple Double Emeralds machine.

It’s manufactured by IGT.

The woman was simply identified as “Brittany.”

News of the win was posted Tuesday by the airport on X, formerly known as Twitter. The post included a photo of her standing by the winning slot machine.

No details on what she plans to do with the cash. Nor did the airport specify how long she was at the slot machine before it paid out the jackpot.

Previously, other Harry Reid passengers also received big payouts on Wheel of Fortune slot machines at the airport.

Recently, on June 29, one passenger won more than $1.3M, and on July 25, another visitor won $1.2M.

$1B in Slot Revenue

Over 36 years, the slots at Harry Reid (previously named McCarran International Airport) have generated more than $1 billion in revenue, according to Michael Gaughan’s Airport Slot Concession. The Las Vegas-based firm operates the slots at the busy airport.

The airport slots generate about $39.8 million in gross revenue each year. That leads to about $34.4 million in average revenue for the airport.

In total, there are 1,430 slot machines at Harry Reid Airport. The slot play helps to offset airport costs.
