On Monday February 27, a $1 million royal flush jackpot was won at Prairie Band Casino & Resort in Mayetta, Kansas. The player made the $5 linked-progressive side bet at Ultimate Texas Hold ’em and was dealt the jack and king of hearts. The flop contained the hearts 10, queen, and ace, giving him the five-card royal; the payout was $1,018,643. It was this guy’s lucky day; four hours earlier, he hit 4 of a kind to win another progressive jackpot.
According to the table-games manager, the linked progressive on the Ultimate Texas Hold ’em and Mississippi Stud tables have been won 661 times since being installed for a total of nearly $4 million.
