$338K table game jackpot hits at off-Strip casino

Updated August 1, 2022 - 5:17 pm

A regular player at The Orleans is feeling a little more premium these days.

While playing Face Up Pai Gow Poker with his wife late Friday afternoon, he hit a seven-card straight flush (two to eight of spades with a joker), capturing a Pai Gow Poker progressive jackpot of $338,703.99, according to a Boyd Gaming news release.

He also placed a dragon bonus side bet that won him an additional $5,000.

In pai gow, the joker can be used as an ace or to complete a straight and/or flush.

The win is the first pai gow progressive jackpot since July 2021, when a lucky player won a $119,000 prize at the Orleans.

The Pai Gow progressive — also available at Gold Coast, Aliante, Cannery, Sam’s Town and Suncoast — was reset to $75,168.
