LAS VEGAS — One player’s bad luck at the poker table turned into paydays for more than 100 poker players on Wednesday, January 14, when a guest at The Orleans triggered the property’s $104,872 progressive bad beat Texas Hold’em jackpot.
The “unlucky” Las Vegas local drew four 5s but was topped by another player with four 8s. He didn’t win the pot but scored quite a consolation prize with a bad beat payout of nearly $42,000. His opponent took home almost $21,000 for beating the “bad beat” hand.
The remaining seven players at the table won just over $1,000 each for being at the bad beat table, while 95 other guests playing Hold’em in The Orleans poker room at the time of the bad beat won $257 each. Finally, The Orleans rewarded its 50 most active poker players (as measured by hours played since the last bad beat jackpot) with a loyalty prize of $210 each.
The Orleans offers a dynamic casino floor showcasing the latest slot machines and a full lineup of popular table games, including Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat.
