Wheel of Fortune Jackpots
Las Vegas and other locations have seen several Wheel of Fortune slot machines recently paying out large jackpots to lucky players.

He apparently was at the airport either waiting for or exiting a flight. He decided to play a Wheel of Fortune slot in the B Concourse. The airport did not say how much the spin cost.
