Two million jackpots won within a few days in Las Vegas

With over 40 million visitors a year, Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the USA. A significant proportion of visitors try their luck at least once in one of the gambling metropolis’ numerous casinos. Here, they dream of winning the big jackpot. At the end of July, two players managed to win a million-dollar jackpot within a few days. In addition, we at Casinova.org reported in mid-July that a new customer at the Atlantic City Casino had won a 1.5 million-dollar jackpot.

Venetian Resort: Player wins 2.2 million US dollars playing Pai Gow Poker

First, an unknown player won the jackpot of around 2.2 million US dollars playing Pai Gow Poker at the Venetian Resort on Sunday, July 21. According to media reports, the guest played the Face Up Pai Gow game variant. Here, he received a straight flush consisting of seven cards, as a result of which he won the Pai Gow jackpot. The casino then announced that the player, who was able to enjoy exactly $2,211,469, had won the highest Pai Gow jackpot in the house’s history.

Palms Casino: Player wins $2.1 million on the slot machine

Just five days after the impressive Pai Gow jackpot, a player won another jackpot of a similar amount at the Palms Casino, just two miles away. Specifically, the player tried her luck on the legendary Wheel of Fortune slot machine and ultimately won the jackpot of $2,170,581.77 with a stake of just $3. What is particularly impressive about the case of the winner from the Palms Casino is the fact that she hit the jackpot when she still had a remaining balance of 46 cents.

The winner, whose name is also unknown, is said to be from Texas and works as a bartender here. It remains to be seen whether she will go back to work in the future in view of the million-dollar win. The fact that problems can arise after winning a jackpot in a casino is shown by the example of a 72-year-old pensioner who won over 2.5 million US dollars in a US casino and was then annoyed that the casino refused to pay her out.
