LAS VEGAS– Diamonds were the best friend of a lucky Hawai’i visitor this weekend, as a seven-card diamond straight flush landed her a massive pai-gow progressive jackpot at the California Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
The Cal regular was in town to visit her grandchildren in Las Vegas and sat down at Light & Wonder’s FACE UP PAI GOW POKER™ on the afternoon of Saturday, March 9 to try her luck. Betting $25 per hand, plus a $1 progressive side bet, the lucky player was dealt a seven-card, king-high straight flush (seven to king of diamonds, including a joker), scoring the progressive jackpot of $510,855.
With Saturday’s big win, the California’s pai-gow progressive jackpot has reset to $125,000.
