A player at Saracen Casino Resort won a new record jackpot for the state of Arkansas. On Tuesday, officials with the casino announced that a guest from Hot Springs won the platinum $924,562 jackpot while playing International Gaming Technology (IGT)’s new Whitney Houston-branded slot machine.

“Saracen was the first casino in Arkansas to install Wide Area Progressive slots, machines in which the jackpot grows alongside machines across the United States, including the Las Vegas Strip,” Matt Harkness, General Manager of Saracen Casino said. “Previous multi-state jackpots have been won at Saracen before, but this shatters all previous payouts.”

Tony Sofran, IGT Vice President of Gaming Operations Premium Product, expressed his excitement for the big win on the Whitney Houston slots. “A jackpot of this magnitude, on a game as spectacular as Whitney Houston Slots, creates a uniquely memorable casino event and is a hallmark of an IGT wide-area progressive game,” he stated.

IGT released the Whitney Houston slots in June earlier this year, across US casinos. At the time of release, IGT said that the game was bringing the “Voice of a Generation” to a growing list of properties, delivering an experience that, according to the company, is sure to captivate Whitney Houston fans and slot enthusiasts alike.

IGT’s Whitney Houston Slots was created in collaboration with The Estate of Whitney E. Houston and Primary Wave Music, resulting in a casino game that ‘authentically’ captures the talents and energy of the global superstar. The game features hit songs such as “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “So Emotional,” and “How Will I Know,” which are brought to life through a synchronized audio and video experience on the SkyRise cabinet.
