John is one of three guests who have won nearly $4.2 million in the last three years on our CA$HOLA slot machines. Our previous CA$HOLA winners walked away $2.9 million and $430,000 richer!  We love it when our players win big,� continued Maestle.

Moments after John hit the $877,752 jackpot, he was congratulated by the Wheeling Island staff and several guests stopped by to celebrate his win.
