It was a Labor Day to remember at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas in the United States. A guest who wished to remain anonymous turned a USD 7 wager into more than USD 2 million. The bettor was playing Buffalo Diamond Extreme slot by Aristocrat Gaming when the Grand Jackpot hit in the bonus round to trigger a payout of USD 2,158,526.
In addition, the major tier of the resort’s Millionaire Progressive hit twice recently. On August 6th, a guest was dealt a heart royal flush while playing Mississippi Stud. By making the side bet, they were eligible for the major tier of the Millionaire Progressive and won USD 259,589. Besides, on July 30th, a lucky guest received a club royal flush while playing Texas Hold’em and won the major tier of the Millionaire Progressive. Gustavo Morales from Illinois made the USD 5 side bet making him eligible to win the major tier of the resort’s Millionaire Progressive for USD 269,611.
In late 2018, The Venetian Resort launched Millionaire Progressive, one of the largest table games progressives in Las Vegas. A player becomes eligible for the mega tier of the Millionaire Progressive, which begins at USD 1 million and increases incrementally, once the player makes the USD 5 side bet. To win, the player must then be dealt a natural spade royal flush. The progressive is available on several table games: Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Three Card Poker, Let it Ride, Crazy 4 Poker and Mississippi Stud in both The Venetian and The Palazzo casinos. The Millionaire Progressive has minted 11 millionaires since inception.
