The exact jackpot that the player wins depends on the strength of their hand, with the seven-card straight flush yielding 100% of the mega pot, while five aces triggers the major jackpot and a royal flush the minor reward.
This big win will likely motivate others to start playing Pai Gow, which is a poker variant using a standard 52-card deck plus a single joker card. Every player gets seven cards and makes a five-card and two-card hand with the goal of beating the dealer.
While the win on Monday night was impressive, it isn’t the largest Pai Gow progressive win on the Strip. In January 2023, a Las Vegas local won $6.4m at the Flamingo.
