Table game player hits for more than $486K at off-Strip casino

by · Las Vegas Review-Journal

Nice timing.

Playing a second hand, a guest at The Orleans won more than $486,000 Wednesday after drawing a straight flush on the Pai-Gow Progressive game, according to a Boyd Gaming spokesperson.

The guest, who wished to remain anonymous, was playing $30 per hand plus two side bets — a $1 progressive side bet and a $5 Fortune Bonus side bet. On just his second hand, the player was dealt a natural seven-card flush — three through nine of clubs — scoring the $461,351 progressive jackpot, plus a $25,000 Fortune Bonus.

Two others at the table each received a $3,000 off their Fortune Bonus bets.
