A longtime Caesars Rewards member hit a $1.2 million jackpot on February 7, becoming the first million-dollar winner of Iowa’s new multi‑casino progressive jackpot, which includes Harrah’s Council Bluffs, Horseshoe Council Bluffs, Isle Casino Bettendorf, and Isle Casino Waterloo. The player landed a royal flush on Ultimate Texas Hold’em, marking a historic moment for gaming in the state.

The new multi‑casino progressive jackpot links several Caesars Entertainment properties across Iowa, offering players the chance to win increasingly larger prizes on a variety of table games.
