A visitor from Hawaii won over $1 million Friday while playing a slot machine at a downtown Las Vegas casino.

The gambler won just over $1.1 million while playing a Wheel of Fortune machine at the Fremont casino, according to Boyd Gaming, which operates the property.

The player requested to remain anonymous.

The gambler hit the jackpot after playing for only about 10 minutes while betting $5 per spin, the gaming company said.
