Future Las Vegas resident hits $182K Pai Gow jackpot

A soon-to-be transplant from California received an early welcome gift on Wednesday.

The person, who did not want to be identified, won a Pai Gow Poker progressive jackpot of more than $182,000 at Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, according to a Boyd Gaming news release.

The $182,148 came by hitting a seven-card straight flush.

Six Boyd Gaming destinations participate in the company’s linked Pai Gow Poker progressive, including Gold Coast, The Orleans, Aliante, Suncoast, Sam’s Town and Cannery. By offering the Pai Gow Poker progressive at multiple destinations citywide, players have a shot at winning a much larger jackpot than individual properties could offer.

The Pai Gow progressive jackpot has reset at $75,000.

This is the fifth time a guest has won Boyd Gaming’s regional linked Pai Gow Poker progressive jackpot in the past six months, with a total of nearly $1.5 million awarded.
