In February, IGT machines experienced a significant payout month, reaching a total of $13.6 million in jackpots, the highest since August 2023. Key contributors to this record were two major wins: a $12.4 million Megabucks jackpot at Virgin River Casino in Mesquite on February 16 and a $1.3 million win at Bellagio on February 10 on a Wheel of Fortune machine. According to an IGT spokesman, the February Megabucks jackpot was the largest since a $14 million win in Reno in April 2023, which was one of four Megabucks jackpots exceeding $10 million that year.
