Visitor from Hawaii hits $446K table game jackpot at Las Vegas casino
Summary
A visitor from Hawaii came to Las Vegas for a night of clubbing, but instead of dancing he hit a $446,083 progressive jackpot on Fortune Pai Gow Poker at the Fremont casino. The winning hand was a seven‑card club straight flush from eight through ace, with the joker used as the nine, a legal move in Pai Gow.
Other winners were reported across the Las Vegas Valley: a New Mexico resident won $11,539.84 at Binion’s, a local turned a $5 bet into $15,586 at Four Queens, a guest took home $73,545 on a Liberty Diamond slot at Rio, and a $1 bet on Wheel of Fortune Cash Link earned $50,020.20 at Santa Fe Station.
