Slot machines themed after the CNBC show “Billion Dollar Buyer,” starring Golden Nugget Casinos chairman and CEO Tilman Fertitta, are being introduced at the company’s casinos.
Players have the chance to strike a deal with the Billion Dollar Buyer and win up to 10,000 credits with the three-reel, five-line Double Jackpot Triple Blazing 7’s slot machine.
“I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the show and having an impact on these small businesses,” Fertitta said. “Starting a business is always a gamble, and I had to find a way to commemorate this experience at my casinos.”
