Three Card Poker player wins $1.9 million at The Venetian

A gambler at The Venetian casino on the Las Vegas Strip won $1,916,491 on Friday, Nov. 13. The payout came after the player was dealt a spade royal flush in Three Card Poker. A casino spokesperson confirmed the win to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The hand activated the mega tier of The Venetian's Millionaire Progressive. To be eligible for the top prize, the player placed a $5 side bet. The progressive jackpot is available on several table games at the resort.

The Millionaire Progressive launched in 2018. Since its inception, the game has paid out to 19 millionaires. The Friday win adds to that list of high-value payouts.
