Rivers Casino Registers Record Breaking $1.4 Million Jackpot Win
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Lady Luck shined particularly bright on one player at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh when a $1.4 million Fortune Pai Gow jackpot broke Pennsylvania casino records.
While regularly hit the big-league prizes, such a huge jackpot win at a land-based property is rare enough that it prompted huge celebrations.
Win Establishes Largest Fortune Pai Gow Jackpot
The 2.45AM win took place on Sunday morning at Rivers Casino, with the poker player hitting the Fortune Pai Gow jackpot for the spectacular sum of $1,391,967.
Fortune Pai Gow combines the traditional Chinese game of dominoes with poker, substituting the actual dominoes for playing cards. The player goes head-to-head against the dealer, with the optional bonus bet triggering the jackpot.
And this is exactly how it went down at PA’s River Casino, with a local Pittsburgh player landing a seven-card straight flush. Two side wager of $5 clinched the jackpot, adding $25,000 and $3,000 to the pot.
Rivers Casino Pittsburgh staff were thrilled with the lucky win, congratulating the guest, and creating a celebratory mood across the casino.
A History of Spectacular Wins
While the Fortune Pai Gow Progressive Jackpot had been increasing steadily since 2017, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is no stranger to mega jackpots.
The casino distributed $1.2 million in jackpots in August 2022 alone. Slots players also fare exceptionally well at the property. In December 2023, one player snapped up a $139,456 win playing Lock It Link: Eureka Reel Blast.
