Two Caesars Palace Las Vegas visitors recently left the Las Vegas Strip casino much richer. One mystery player won $489,649 on the Red, White and Blue slot manufactured by International Game Technology (IGT) on Friday morning.

A few hours earlier, another unidentified player at Caesars Palace won $240K while playing video poker.

Both winners are Caesars Rewards members. Caesars Entertainment didn’t provide details on either of the jackpots at its Caesars Palace property.

The same gaming venue has seen many other recent jackpot winners.
