Elvis Megajackpots Hit at Imperial Palace

Last night, she won $199,195.99 on an Elvis MegaJackpots Instant Winners quarter slot

“I usually don’t play slots because I never win, but after losing at blackjack, I thought I’d try,” Hovhannisyan said. Since the only machine on which she says she ever won a few bucks was an Elvis slot -- and that was three years ago – that’s what she decided to try.

“I just wanted to see the bonus ‘play’ come up, and when I saw ‘Elvis’ in the third window I hit it again,” Hovhannisyan said. The machine wouldn’t do anything, so she thought it was broken – and didn’t even see that she had three Elvis symbols until her husband pointed it out. Then she was in shock.

Hovhannisyan says she won’t touch the money for six months – until she “comes down,” but there is something she’ll do when she gets home.

“I’m going to decorate my room with pictures of Elvis,” she chuckled
