A passenger identified as Anthony won a $3.3 million jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Harry Reid International Airport after placing a $10 bet in the C Gates, New York Post reported. Airport officials announced the win on social media Monday. The airport is one of only two commercial aviation hubs in the United States that allow terminal gambling.
The other is Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Michael Gaughan’s Airport Slot Concession operates more than 1,400 machines across the terminals. The $3.3 million prize is subject to a 24 percent federal tax withholding.
Nevada does not tax personal income or gambling winnings. The airport has recorded several large terminal jackpots in recent years. In May 2025 a traveler won $1.
A visitor from San Diego won $1.4 million on another occasion, and a $1.3 million jackpot was recorded in 2023.
