A slots player at the South Point figures to enjoy her stay at the Las Vegas casino, especially after hitting a jackpot worth six figures.

The player, who was identified by the casino in a news release as Rhonda from California, won $954,263.11 Wednesday night on a 25 cent Wheel of Fortune Progressive machine.

According to tweets from IGT, this marks the biggest jackpot hit on an IGT slot machine in the Las Vegas Valley since April 14 when a player won a $13.2 million Megabucks jackpot at Sunset Station in Henderson.
