Man tracked down in Arizona 2 weeks after leaving Vegas not knowing he hit $229,000 slot machine jackpot

Nevada gambling regulators say their investigation tracked down an Arizona man who left Las Vegas after a visit last month not knowing he'd won a $229,368 slot machine jackpot.

The machine being played by Robert Taylor malfunctioned due to a "communication error" and neither he nor the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino realized that he'd won a progressive jackpot the evening of Jan. 8, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said Friday in a statement.   

The jackpot was confirmed later after a review but Taylor had returned to Arizona by then and the casino was unable to identify him, the board's statement said.
