A guest at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh hit a $1,155,260 Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive jackpot. The same player collected an additional $5,000 Fortune Bonus payout. Two other players at the table each received $500 Envy payouts.

This is the second-largest Pai Gow jackpot paid at the property. It follows a $1.39 million jackpot hit in January 2024.

The Winning Hand

The jackpot requires a seven-card straight flush, which may include the joker. The player received the king, queen, jack, ten, eight and seven of clubs. The joker completed a king-high straight flush.

A $5 bet on the flashing Progressive button activated eligibility. The hand met the exact condition needed to claim the full progressive pool.

Progressive Mechanics and Reset

Pai Gow Poker uses a 53-card deck with one joker. The joker acts as an ace or completes a straight or flush. Players and the dealer each get seven cards and form a five-card high hand and two-card low hand based on standard poker rankings.

The probability of the required seven-card straight flush is around 1 in 676,066. Progressive bets across the network grow the pool until the condition is met. Following this payout, the jackpot at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has reset to $261,426, according to PokerNews.
