Warnders first celebratory call was to one of his two brothers to say, “I beat you!” The brothers had an ongoing friendly competition about who would achieve the status of millionaire first and Wayne wanted them to know he was the victor in the most memorable and exciting way.

“We are delighted to once again acknowledge a big winner and share in their tremendous excitement,” said Keith W. Henson, vice president and general manager of L’Auberge. “We have created a truly unique and total gambling experience at L’Auberge with unmatched guest service conveniently located so that players can win big close to home instead of travelling to Las Vegas.”

“The entire staff is excited to celebrate another instant millionaire at L’Auberge. L’Auberge is the place to play; our slot payouts average over 250-million every year,” said Vice President of Casino Operations Gary Stella. He adds, “L’Auberge offers its guests winning hospitality and a gambling escape unlike any other in the region.”

The Wheel of Fortune® jackpot is paid when a player plays the maximum bet and lines up all three winning symbols on the appropriate pay line. After the jackpot is verified, the Wheel of Fortune® meter is reset at $100,000.
