5-cent video poker player hits for $20K in downtown Las Vegas

Updated November 3, 2019 - 6:49 am

Drawing a royal flush on a video poker machine is the goal of all players, no matter what denomination they are deploying.

Being dealt a royal flush? A player is likely to do a double take, then make sure all the cards are held before hitting “draw.”

Being dealt a royal flush while you’re playing the 5 cent Hundred Hand Draw Poker machine? Provided you survived your heart attack, you just won $20,000.

That is what happened Thursday at Four Queens in downtown Las Vegas for a visitor from Minnesota, according to the casino’s Twitter account.

The winner played $25 a hand when the magic hand was dealt.
