A North Highlands, California resident walked away with nearly $450,000 after landing the jackpot on a guest-favorite casino game at a gambling spot “nestled in the Capay Valley just outside Sacramento and San Francisco”.
‘Winners Are Made Here”
Cache Creek Casino Resort, which bills itself as “Northern California’s premier casino resort”, celebrated the especially lucky Californian’s big win playing the hugely popular face-up pai gow poker game.
The player landed the seven-card straight flush , which automatically awarded him the progressive jackpot that totaled exactly $447,810 at that moment.
To pull off this impressive win, the poker player made a small $2 wager on the special side bet for this game, which gets its name from the dealer receiving seven cards dealt face up.
The casino’s general manager and chief operating officer, Kari Stout-Smith, referred to this as a “life-changing win” in a follow-up press release sharing the exciting news.
“Moments like this are exactly why we stand by our slogan that winners are made here. We adore celebrating these massive jackpots alongside our guests,” Stout-Smith added.
Guest-Favorite at the Property
Face-up pai gow poker is among the most beloved games among guests at the Four-Diamond Casino Resort, as it artfully combines lively social gameplay, strategic thinking, and strong odds for substantial payouts.
This Vegas-style resort, owned by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation , provides more than 600 upscale hotel rooms, 10 dining options including Enso and C2, top-tier entertainment, a spa, swimming pools, and even a championship-level Yocha Dehe Golf Course for golf enthusiasts.
The gambling facility boasts at least 2,300 exclusive slot machines and 80 table games.
“Whether you’re visiting to celebrate, relax, or simply because you love gambling, we’ll make you feel like a champion,” the casino says proudly.
Last August, another lucky Iowa poker enthusiast walked away with a $937,040 progressive jackpot at The LINQ Hotel while playing the same face-up pai gow game and landing the seven-card straight flush.
The man, who was celebrating his birthday at the casino with friends, joined the small group of players who have successfully landed what many call the most difficult hand in poker, with 1-in-4.8-million odds.
