Norman Reedus went to Las Vegas to speak at the Variety Entertainment Summit at CES 2018. After his work was done, Reedus tried his hand at some games of fortune, and fortune smiled upon him after he won a jackpot on a The Walking Dead-themed slot machine.

Everyone has a Vegas story, and AMC Networks’ Senior VP Jim Maiella tells a good one. He says that Reedus hit the jackpot on his first turn: “[Reedus] walks into a Vegas casino Tuesday, drops one coin into a [The Walking Dead] slot machine and hits for $800, on the Daryl Dixon character. Celebrity recognition gaming technology is the unheralded star of #CES2018.”

As with other popular franchises, gambling fans enjoy these particular machines because they’re entertaining and they offer more than just your standard slot machine. The bonuses give players the chance to win extra money during “bonus” wins, and in this case the bonuses are themed to The Walking Dead with the “Wild Attack” and “The Horde” being some of the themes. When it comes to Norman Reedus’ big win, he won on a Daryl Dixon bonus.
