LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A lucky Las Vegas guest is taking home the big bucks… half a million dollars, that is.

According to the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, a guest from Texas who was in town for the Spray Foam Convention hit a $511,449 jackpot on a Buffalo Grand machine.

The lucky guest played for approximately 11 minutes before he won the jackpot on his second bonus round. According to Westgate, he inserted $100 and was betting $3.75 per spin.

Nineteen rounds (and $71.25) later, he won the big jackpot.

He’s not the first to win big in Las Vegas this week. A player at Caesars Palace hit two jackpots less than 5 hours apart from one another, a total win of $710,000.
