Yonkers, New York – A jackpot on the Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars slot machine at Empire City Casino has ballooned past the $1 million mark, which would make it the largest jackpot to be won at the casino, Empire reported today.

Cherie Czerniowski, who oversees slot operations at Empire City, announced, “This is not a wide area progressive as seen at most properties. This jackpot can only be hit here at Empire City.”

The jackpot has guests coming from various points to try their luck, she said, particularly with several recent record-breaking scores at the Westchester casino. Manuel Esteche of Port Chester hit ‎for $571,000 in February, breaking the previous record jackpot of $509,000 won in November by Moosue Stefern of Bergenfield, New Jersey. Ella of Brooklyn won the third largest jackpot in Empire City’s history with a $222,459 score in February.

A group of seven other six-figure jackpots for patrons of Empire Cit are also up for the taking, including the $226,213 Betty Boop’s Love Meter.

“There are plenty of jackpots to go around at Empire City, with dozens over $50,000 and hundreds over $10,000,”added Czerniowski. “But the million dollar jackpot will be a true life-changer.”

Empire City Casino, one of the largest entertainment and gaming destinations in the northeast, features 5,300 slots, electronic craps, roulette, baccarat and and year-round harness racing & International simulcasting.
